I'll need another listen to decide but it very well could be though I think The Rainbow Children gets higher highs (and much lower lows). i don't think lotus has that many lows. You CANNOT use the name of God, or religion, to justify acts of violence, to hurt, to hate, to discriminate- Madonna

Crimson & clover seems to fit in better after The Morning After. Is that an official tracklist at the start of this thread? | |

I dont like being labeled a hater, because i like prince, and i want to like all his new music, but that is as uninspired as anything he has ever done. Lotusflow3r to me is much much better but i now think its wrong and too much to to think Prince will ever have any new ideas. 77 bucks, dam with stock brokers and bankers starving and covered in flies on the slumdog streets of Wall St. i feel a little ashamed to be indulging in this. shoulda gone the Target route. and lets not scare people with this TRC talk, no people it isnt that bad. its actually pretty good. [Edited 3/24/09 21:43pm] TRC is a good album, I just think the vocal interludes are unnecessary and ruin it. I enjoy listening to it live so I don't have to hear all that. I can't even skip that mess on the CD so I don't listen to the CD. Lotus Flow3r is damn good. If I could only figure out how to download it. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

It's as good if not better than 'Musicology.' '3121' is more vulnerable and I really enjoy '3121.' (Except the title track.) Too soon to say it's better than either of those. I don't want you to think like me. I just want you to think. |

This seems to have the most consistent quality out of the 3 albums. The production seems to be a good level.. | |

Too soon to say it's better than either of those. i'm not a big fan of Musicology it doesn't seem to flow for me love 3121 but i think this is better my favorite tracks are 2. Boom 3. Crimson & Clover 6. Colonized Mind 7. Feel Good Feel Better Feel Wonderful 10. Wall of Berlin 11. $ 12. Dreamer with Dreamer being the best of the cd and tied with Dance 4 Me as best in set.

Put the 2 albums together and you have Prince's best stuff in basically 15 years. Not since The Gold Experience have I been this excited about Prince's music as a whole.
And first listens are normally a tough thing for me. Now, off to decode the backwards stuff on Boom... | |

Boom is just... super original. Confusing. Brave. A perfect opening song after From The Lotus. | |

This album is a proper return to form. I've only heard it once, but it sounds organic and solid. Boom, Feel Better, Colonized Mind, $, Dreamer are my standouts. First listen mind and with Prince, things and favorites can change on second listen. [Edited 3/25/09 1:32am] I'm hot and I don't care who knows it...I got a job to do.  |

When 77 Beverly Park started, I thought wow this sounds interesting...and then I was like WTF? I'm hot and I don't care who knows it...I got a job to do. |

still kind of pissed that "crimson and clover" is not on this version
becaus that obviously fits much better as the 3rd track after "boom", they both have the same guitar sound and some of the vocal phrasing.. can't wait until i get "crimson and clover" and insert it inbetween "boom" and "the morning after". and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

does this mean that us who buy the cd are going to miss out on. Here - from mplsound and The morning after from lotusflow3r? | |

On first listen I enjoyed MPLSound more... but Lotusflow3r IMO is still solid. | |

What are you talking about ? LOL |

Love Like Jazz grew on me on my second listen. It actually gets REALLY intense with some Do Me Baby style moans at the end kind of. | |

so you're all listening to this and somehow fail to notice
that the BOOM file is incomplete and cuts short at 03:09, when it is supposed to clock in at 04:54? listen to it on the stream and look at the track length on the site, then listen to your mp3/wav and look at the track length.  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |
