I'm digging the USA Today review the best lol
Probably because it's the most P friendly.

Also, I like Bria's initial trax. I think it may suprise people!


I agree. These reviews never even mentioned "here eye come" which is my favorite one of the two released so far. Great production and vocals. I expect to like her record alot because its not mainstream. Prince is at his best doing the sexy vibe music.

Hey all,

Welcome to your one-stop shop for all the magazine, newspaper, online news and blog reviews of Prince's 2009 3-album set. The good, the bad, the ugly and the confused - we will be listing it all right here in this thread, for you to read, discuss, debate and pick over.

If you happen to find a review that has not yet been included on this thread, please feel free to provide a link to it in this thread, or orgnote me and I will add the link to the ever-growing list. (DO NOT create new threads for reviews you find. Those threads will be locked and the review link will be added to this list.)

Also, DO NOT add your personal reviews for the albums to this thread. We will have threads for your responses to each album as soon as the site opens and the music is made available for purchase. This thread is to discuss MEDIA album reviews only.

Check back periodically for more additions to this list, and have fun agreeing and disagreeing with the critics.

Heeeeere we go....!

Enjoy,
Anxiety





(keep in mind that these reviews include
write-ups for all three discs)

yeah, because it's SUCH a fun, easy thing to do to lock a thread and edit this thread every time a new review comes down the pipe. not to mention locking all the duplicate threads by people who don't look first before they post. nuts

lol

i think with the amount of material we're dealing with here, we're going to just start by creating threads with user reviews/discussions of each ALBUM. from there, we'll see where the responses and requests take us.

though don't worry...we're going to have a lot of discussion threads like this coming down the pipe today. nod

U love ur stickies. I do too. That way we won't have 100 post about the USA

You lost me right there. No he hasn't. He can't.

Rave
Planet Earth
NEWS
NewPowerSoul

I just read another thread on here where someone's calling trax like "Love", "Daddy Pop", "Never B Another Like Me", "Judas Smile", "Silicon" and 'Push" amongst his most embarrassing songs ever. I love all those songs, and how anyone could find any one of those songs more embarrassing than goofiness like "Wedding Feast" or "Animal Kingdom" makes me wonder what I'm doing here sometimes. Most people here think that "Empty Room" is amazing. Not me. I even read recently someone here talking about how shitty the SuperBowl show was...


Prince is so good at so many different things and people listen to his music for so many different reasons, that his diversity becomes a curse. There are hundreds of people here who would be let down by an album with no falsetto vocals or no ballads, and the those are 2 of my least favorite things he does. I find most of his ballads boring and repetitive - and his falsetto distracting at best - for the most part. Having said ll that, I'm looking forward to "LotusFlower"

Maybe we'll finally get the rock record a lot of us have always wanted. These new albums sound promising from what I've read and heard so far.

Based on the reviews so far, I think it is probably safe to say that Lotusflow3r

and MPLSound fall short of being masterpieces. I hope the early critiques are

wrong. Most are fairly positive but after hearing that Lotusflow3r might be

Prince's best work in 20 years, I'm a little dissapointed with the reviews. It

seems like both albums have some filler.

Click on ticket. Then type in 1986 and Los Angeles and hit Enter. But no matter what screen name I enter, I am told it is already in use. Off to a really good start, as usual.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried 10 different screen names to no avail. Has anyone gotten through to the other side? I was so excited and now I'm so disappointed.
