So,
not only do i have the new cd set right here in my grubby 'lil hands...
i have also aquired a very beautiful Lotusflow3r poster!(hate the target logo on the bottom though...)
now i am wondering if a tour is in the works as well!the cd insert has an AEG logo at the bottom next to the NPG logo!








p.s i just finished listening to the entire Bria cd...WAY better than i expected!
now onto ...MPLSOUND!i'm going backwards by the way

and if u're telling the truth, i also think it's interesting that there's an AEG logo on the cds!

Seeing as this is your only post since joining the org less than a month ago, I'd like to respectfully ask for proof of what you've written.

So, how did you get your hands on these? Some Target worker snuck them to you?
I will wait for an answer before I say or ask any more.

Song lengths, please.

They used the conditional tense, I took it as being in the past tense. Pointing out that HQ is closed seems petty to me.

MPLSOUND is 45:20,i have not put in Lotusflow3r yet!that comes next
Elixer is 42:45 in length.

i will give a track by track review when i am done listening to all 3 disc's if y'all want...like i said,don't want to be a spoiler!
so far the MPLSOUND cd is waaaay different than i expected!
to tell the truth i expected a return to rave,slaughterhouse etc..boy was i wrong!this stuff sounds vintage to me!

yellowtaxi said:

Mini Review....but without spoiling it. I guess I would like to know what songs you thing are fabulous without giving anything away totally.
I can wait for the actual release date...But it is very tempting to hear some about it.
I cannot wait till I can purchase them! I'm very excited!
Although a lil unnerved that people are sneaking copies before the rest of us can get our hands on them. Mixed emotions I tell ya..

Wow. That's quite brazen of you to confess to stealing from your employer.


Online, no less!!!

Presale tickets and downloads was what I enjoyed about the club. If this new site offers members who pay $77.00 to join, access to videos, unreleased music/vids/streaming of live events/shows/concerts at a discount price, and pre-sale tickets, then that sounds like a deal to me. I expect we will only get a "limited" amount of free vids/unreleased tracks/vids/new music content, live streaming events during the year, and have to pay a fee for the rest of course that is also offered to the public, but at a discount for $77.00 members.

Who knows maybe they can implement a two-part membership offer to fans who can't afford $77.00 right now, but can pay $25.00 for limited access to parts of the site, including limited freebies, like vids/new music for the duration of that membership, but given a chance to advance to full membership ($77.00) within a specified amount of time.

Maybe if they had two membership plans, with a $25.00 membership plan, included in the membership process.

If such a thing was to happen, then a $25.00 membership plan could look like this:

- Limited freebies, during the year, such as songs/video content

- Pre-sale tickets not included in plan

- cds/downloads/live streaming events, concerts, if offered to general public
as well, then $25.00 members would have to pay same price offered to general
public, unless it's a live, streaming event offered only to club members
who paid $77.00 (but discount fees for $77.00 members if the event is not
free)


- 3 months period as a $25.00 member, with opportunity to advance
to full membership; an email could be sent out by P's team to the
$25.00 members, 2 weeks prior to the $25.00 membership expiration
date that will allow them to pay the remaining balance of $52.00
towards a full membership (applied to the $25.00 already paid)

- If you choose not to become a full member or do not respond to the email
within the 2 week period of email sent or before the 3 month expiration
date expires, from the day you joined, then that member will remain a
$25.00 member until the end of the year, and can choose to join as either a
$25.00 member or $77.00 member when the new year begins and the sign-up
period starts again for anyone interested in being a mamber.



I think that would be a fair way of doing things for fans who can't afford the $77.00 full membership right away, if such a plan was put in place. Even though those who choose to pay the lower price, would know beforehand that they would have limited access to parts of the site, and pre-sale tickets would not be part of the offer until they pay the balance of the full membership fee.

you remind me of Yoda.
you seem to know everything about everything.
how does one gain all of the knowledge that you possess?
can i take a community college course or something?

yellowtaxi said:

You seem to think you're the owner of this site. You're not.You're also not a mod here and can't tell me or anyone else what to post or how many times they can post on a public site. If my posts bother you, simply don't read them. That's not a hard thing to figure out. By the way, your name calling speaks for itself.
[Edited 3/15/09 8:38am]

GNS said:

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing. So yellowtaxi is telling us the albums are in the store a full two weeks before release date and employees are just walking out with copies.

2elijah said:

Whatever would Prince do without you?

geeque said:

this happens all of the time. it's probably too hard for the mgmt to police it. he'll scan it on release day and pay for it like normal, therefore from an inventory perspective no one stole anything.

yellowtaxi said:

Perhaps you could start a seperate review thread and label it as containing spoilers so that those who don't want to know can steer clear?

yellowtaxi said:

There is NOTHING good about what you just wrote. Trifling.
