Naw, its cool, just regular fandom play, the fans still give a shit, when they dont give a shit, and all thats left are the pRINCE fams, thats when i would worry. When your wife, husband or anyone dont give a shit what you look like or happens to you when you step outside, the love is gone. [Edited 2/5/09 17:28pm] | |

Less is often more: The art with no lettering at all would be captivating to most viewers... and any fan would recognize Prince's ubiquitous mug as an ID without his name sprawled out in bad '70s sci-fi lettering. Or better still: Why not a simple black field with a single tiny and gorgeous lotus dropped somewhere? Lettering, if necessary, could be equally small and tone on tone -- something intriguing in its very understatedness.  Then everyone would complain it was too simple. Yes, but the difference is that those complainers would be idiots. | |

It needs a topless female warrior and a lion in gold armour fighting a dragon to top it off. Hehe, do I taste some irony in here? RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

I dunno, it's pretty, obviously digital and conveys a few themes. But his artwork has usually been this way. A panache of different things...a collage as he likes to convey different things in one setting. I can think of several Albums where he uses this style in varied ways... 1999 ATWIAD SOTT Graffiti Bridge Inside of Emancipation Chaos and Disorder Mostly, I think his art can be hit or miss depending on your tastes. I think the first 4 album artwork is pretty boring, except for Dirty Mind. But for the most part it's just him. PR was a big yawn. Parade was interesting, as was Lovesexy (My favorite). But covers like D&P, NPS, Rave, Gold Experience, CB, News etc have been pretty shitty. So I wonder where all the angst comes from, it's not like his covers have been stellar to begin with. Ok, point taken, but lets face it, taht pyramid is fucking ridiculous. The best album artwork is sott face down. And for all the people who actuily like this cover, the simple fact is their taste is in their arse. And I think the pyramid is cool looking. I guess each to their own. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

It would have been sooo much better had the whole thing been drawn with crayons.
To be honest, I've sometimes wondered how he feels today about the artwork on "Emancipation" and whether he has come to realize in retrospect how stupidly crass it always was - after seeing this one, I'm pretty sure he has no problems with it even to this day! They should have at least kept the wider design that was on the website, although it may end up being a fold-out booklet or something. | |

If one person did not like the Mona Lisa but liked the 16 Chapel would that mean that the taste is in their "arse" too or does that mean they just have an open opinion by themselves to not like anything just because somebody said you have to?

As much as I appreciate the busier album covers of the likes of 1999, SOTT, and ATWIAD, this cover just feels like a confusing melange of imagery, and to me it looks like Prince is poking out through the face hole of a massage table. | |
