haha

me 2!!



i'll write a review of this cd soon!!

Dance 4 Me is great...at times it feels like "Sex Shooter" which just adds to that old school feel. No More Candy 4 U is definitely my fav track on the disc, just because its like Little Richard on acid.

Really loving "Valentina". Got off work this morning and jammed it on the way home with the windows down.

i really don't like 'no more candy 4 u'...

Listen to it twice.
The three stand outs for me are
Valentina, Old Skool Company (Is it Camille), he even name drops Morris Day, and No more candy 4 u a great answer song and successor to FUNK.
I really think he should have put Dreamer on this album, it sounds more in place here rather than the poppier Lotusflow3r.

Dreamer would sound terribly out of place on the poppy, synthetic fake-funk of MPLSound.

I totally agree with you Gohi. It would have been all kinds of wrong to put that song on MPLSound.

yes it is...

We have a winner, Prince's best since the 80s, I just love this album, Its so funky, danceable and is so classic. We have all the Linn keyboards and the When Doves Cry Drum thing along with some driving pop and rock. This is the type of thing hes been hiding from us for years. Only one grumble, the songs a lot the same. I love the whole retro 80s feel, and its ounds like hes having fun again with his music.

Track by Track

(There'll never b) another like me, funky opener with interesting lyrics, sounds like 3121 and sounds cool 9/10
Chocolate Box, Another winner Really catchy dancy and fun, 80s type controversy feel and 1999 style electr bop, great retro sound 9/10
Dance 4 me, sexy and funky bop, sounds like the first two 8/10
U're gonna c me, Sexy dancy ballad, very reminescent of some of my 80s favourites 8/10
Here, not as strong, but still enjoyable, love his vocals 6/10 :
Valentina, catchy and sexy urban feel here, again hes mixing classic 80s and Gold Experience style lyrics. 8/10
Better with time, a bit slow compared to the rest, ok ballad though 5/10
Ol Skool Company, Camille's back and boy have we missed him/her, super catchy and funky, great thought provoking lyrics, his best since 1988 10/10
No More Candy 4 U, great upbeat closer and carries on the flow of the previous track. Overall its a great end to a great album. 10/10

Overall a score of 81 that puts it in league with albums like Controversy and Dirty Mind, easily his best album in years

After a couple days of listening, Dance 4 Me is the one I keep replaying.
Starts funky and doesn't let up.

Chocolate Box has a good start, but kind of peters out - in my opinion.

Overall, I think I like Lotus Flow3r better, though.

I don't even think it fits on Lotus, but it definitely doesn't fit on MPLSound

It's ironic that the song Better With Time on this album because it's only gotten worse and worse for me as time wears on.

Ol' Skool Company has to be one of his most boring, meandering songs ever... and I just really don't like Better With Time at all. I can't even listen to the first two songs anymore. Here is such a gem though, as is Dance 4 Me.

Just gotta say again what a piece of genius "No More Candy 4 U" is.

Love that song.

How wrong can one person be, this album is not shit, I can not get over the amount of funk he has squeezed on to one album. Its great. My rating is 81 percent a lot higher than 2.5 stars

Can I have your copy?

I need a back up.

i know nobody will read or care about this but Never B Another Like Me is on the radio here in Japan

japanrocks said:

That's awesome right there.

This CD was like night and day to Lotuse. and MLPS is the sorry one of the 2 CD's. the songs are long, boring, and just missing something.

while the other CD is not great, it has some good trax and great guitar. but this one.....its just not good.

i can here some "sounds" used in the older albums from the 80's on here, but so what if the songs stink.

no point going into details as so many others have already done so on this post, but the bottom line is, of the 3 CD's only 1 stays in the car cd player and the other in the cd case at home....next to the 21 nites book cd and rainbow children never to be touched again.

no more candy 4 u and ol' skool company r my new jams


[Edited 5/10/09 3:46am]

I have to admit it
This album is more enjoyable than lotus.
There are a few top-notch songs on lotus but it's too much of a jumble.
I had to delete "the morning after"

Favourite song must be Valentine with it's following ballad "better with time"
"dance with me" is a cool song but too predictable.

but, all in all MPLSOUND doesn't have a one weak link!!!!!

(damn, and I thought I wuz a wocker)
