Only 4 trax heard so far and I'm happy!. I have listened to these more than the other Cd's and as far as I can hear there really is no competition. Hope the rest of the CD is as good. Anyone agree?.
Saying that, MPLS Sound is shaping up to be the worst he has ever done, is it too late to get him to change the trax!!!, well he does work quickly!.

Definitely not the best album since Musicology as I prefer 3121 and Planet Earth to the snoozefest of Musicology. It has a few nice tracks but it's not great IMHO.

But Lotus certainly seems to be shaping up to be very impressive indeed.

This album has been made as a concept....Remember TRC!

^This is quite a stretch... But yeah, it does have a concept and is more cohesive than his recent output.

....more cohesive & lot of quality in it(from what i heard from insiders )!

No. Actually my favourite is the swingband -influenced sequel to TRC he will make in 2014.

No. That'd be 3121 :p But it may be. I need to hear more than 3 tracks.

So far so pleased, though

nah, cuz 3121 kicked musicology's ass anyways . was just listening to that the other day. classic album, imo. love it! "i see you standing with your back on the wall..."

All the albums have a place and a time...and whatever Prince record I have played since 1979...has been played again and again.

Don't know,
haven't heard it yet.

bogatry talk

So far, I like it better than anything he's done since Rave.

But I'll wait until I hear all of it to make any final assessments.

I didn't care for it. I thought Prince playing all 28 instruments by himself was a bold move (wow, is he ever bad on that saxophone, though), but the storyline was kind of offensive. I mean, Satan and his demons being released from their prison and seducing people into evil by taking the form of record label executives, atheists, homosexuals, and feminists? I don't know about that...

Wait 'til you guys hear "Wally".

i will say that the 4 tracks that have been relased r better than anything on planet earth

but mplsound is the one i'm looking 4ward 2 the most

I already like Lotusflow3r better than other recent albums.. kind of feels like prince put a little extra love into it..

I like 3121, but I don't think it lived up 2 all the hype behind it.

Pretty much.
I mean stuffs OK. I will always be happy for new P but nothings really rocked me for a quite a while. Tis cool. Colonized Mind comes very close.
P will be upset about this but the new U2 song rocks!
