there. i said it. agree or disagree as you see fit.

see ya in an hour or so.

totally agree, reminds me abit of Courtin Time from Emancipation

Disagree! Hate it I do like some of the cuts but it's just too schizophrenic and not in a good way

explanation please

Whitnail said:

I'm working on my review I'll post it soon!

Oh, you know what? I think I should read thread titles before flipping out. this is about a singular song, not the whole thing. I thought he was praising lotus as a whole

I like $ well enough but considering his ability to craft perfect pop songs, meh he's done it before and I don't consider it a genius moment.

if my fav song is chocolate box, does that make me a bad person?

I also liked Boom, The Morning After....actually, i pretty much liked all of it except $ and Valentina (i would also add Colonized Mind, but after reading the lyrics, im giving it another chance.)

You're such a negative nancy about these new albums!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

ok, that explains the schizo bit, which i completely agree with, whether that is a good thing or a bad thing is a matter of opinion

Moonbeam said:

Yeah, I'm trying to get on the list

"$"

So, who is this woman that Prince was referring to as, "the most famous in the whole wide world?"

Himself of course! Haven't you heard, PRINCE IS GAY!

Translation = gay girls

rap said:

money is the mistress. everybody wants her

sounds like a hookless, monotone, rambling mess to me.

It's way up there for me too. Makes me spastically happy.

i dig $

Yes. When I went driving to listen to this album for the first time (last Tuesday night), by the time I got to this one, I was giddy. When I heard this, I knew this album was a keeper and I was laughing and cheering and almost on the verge of tears.


Then "Dreamer" came on

and my bowels released. These 2 tracks at the end of the album told me that Prince was back, without a doubt. For me at least.

the car must have been in a right mess

the appeal of this song misses me, so far.

Whitnail said:

yes....

errant said:

sorry, but i dont think i have ever read anything funnier in my entire life

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

i kind of felt this way at first but i'll be damned if this song didn't pry its way into my brain. it's weird. weird! when was the last time we got prince weird that didn't come welded to prince cheesy-in-a-bad-way?

cheesy-in-a-good-way i can handle.

emesem said:

it's subtle, which prince doesn't always do very well anymore. the whirling synth line that comes in partway through the song, way quiet, is the hook.

I said it the first time i heard it, $ has something, along with Valentina, which has this errie vibe thing going, something only songs like Darling Nikki, Joy in Repetition, others there with us and Annie Christian have

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

as much as i hate to let you down- Lotusflow3r is my preferred disc of the two

Whitnail said:

it's hard for me to describe adequately how much it is pissing me off that i am starting to like 'mplsound.'

i stand by my original assessment (bland, pandering, screechy choruses, repetitious use of the same linn drum sample, obnoxious 'old man' lyrics). but... there's... something... going... on... there.

it does seem to have its own sense of humor. which is something i've missed a great deal since '95 or thereabouts.

and i have to admit, after a few more listens, there are some good melodies in these songs.

still wish the waveforms looked like waveforms and not bricks though.

tangent. wrong thread. you mentioned 'valentina.' threw me off.

One of favs allready as well. Just thinkin that 30 years or so later since he first came on the scene hes still producin great material. Seems like he is in a good place and time, as this cd has a little bit of everything with old and new sounds. Damn, this cd is good. Been following him since I was a teen when Controversy came out and these new cuts really challenge the listener to go on a journey with him. Thanks again Prince for all of the shows over the years, and also for letting your fans be a part of your Paisley World, who can forget those UPTOWN magazine tours to the Park, and letting your fans invited to soundchecks over the years. Here's to another 30 years. You would have made MILES happy with the new stuff.Crackin that smile with his trumphet in hand and those dark shades with a smile showing those pearly whites and bobbin his back and forth to $.
