write your own funk then.i bet u cant make it stank.u need some q tips bro and a j.then listen.

ANY - I repeat ANY album played over and over for 3 weeks is going to get old. I don't care how great it is.

When albums are described as "growers", it doesn't mean 100 nonstop consecutive listens. There HAS to be some time to absorb the material and revisit.

Now if you don't like the songs no matter what, then that's your personal taste. My point: even a 5-star album that you love every song will get tiresome on repeat.

All that being said, LotusFlow3r is the better of the 2 albums IMO.

i agree.people on this sight are to critical of any and everything he does.its like they want him to invent a new instrument or something.brother makes funky music,rock music,jazz music,60's music.70's music.all that.and they r never happy.he even broke it down 4 them and put it simple.one rock cd.one funk cd,one female smooth cd.instead of all on the same record so u cant say he is all over the place.rock on prince u on it bro.

come on SEV these you can't control these Prince Crack Smokers habits.

I don't blame you-I feel the same way. I guess it's back to listening to old Prince for me....

PEJ said:

True - you're right! I have had my LotusFlow3r/MPLSound combo disc (homemade compilation) in rotation since the website went live. Not bad.

Planet Earth didn't really make 1 full week - only a few start-to-finish listenings.

I totally agree Prince can't win regardless how much he tries. But u can bet there r fans like us who r enjoying the new music and that’s all that matters

i love this bit: defending new prince by dissing old prince.

Marrk said:

No it's not. He even calls it the "NEW Mpls sound" on OSC.



It's not "realistic", it's just "opinion".

Personally, I think that if Erotic City were a new track on MPLSoUND, most people on here would be slagging it off.

bingo. once the man hits the stage the prince crack is in the pipe!

garganta said:

Yep, I'm still loving it too. I skip the ballads and the first track, but love the rest. More synths please!!!!

It's not the music, it's you. That's the first sign of becoming a fuddy-duddy, not liking anything new, your getting stuck in your ways.

if at first, you don't succeeed, try, try again. MPLS was heard back 2.5 times in my iPod today - both Prince discs are really loving my ears right now.

Dayclear said:

this logic only works if all music is made by prince.

Off topic.

People are not "haters" because they merely "dislike" something. Not everyone enjoys anal sex for instance.

Fuddy-duddy. Is there something wrong in ageing? I for one have lived my youth and now enter a new period of my life. At 38 I no longer wear wellies, play with worms or have to be in before it gets dark. Because something is "new" does not grant it "likeable".

And perhaps the "fans" should split. I prefer Prince's past material. As I do most inspirational musicians. They have a period where originality flows from them and then it dissipates. Do the fans over at wonder.org really feel that Stevie still makes albums like he did during those golden years? I seriously doubt it.

Yes, we are all fans here: but that does not mean we are all fan-aticial.

I must ask myself though that if I wasn't a fan of Prince would I have been happy with the purchase of MPLSound. I've got to say that realistically I would have downloaded it and then promptly never wished to listen to it again. It, for me, is just another one to add to the collection of Prince cds that I always buy. Whether I like them or not.

Many of you here dislike or don't get The Rainbow Children. I find it fantastic. It's horses for courses. But what I don't do is name-call other orgers for their personal choice. We are not in a fascist world, we have freedom to choose and air our opinions regardless of critique. Some of you that show your loathing of your fellow fans here are no more than sycophants. And as we all know, nobody likes a sycophant, including the one they praise so highly and falsely.

Rant over. And I didn't swear once!

its still boosting in my car .i love it .its not his waauw cd but its just fun to listen to .lotusflower is so much better i really enjoying this over and over .and elixer is a great cd to make some love on .the only song i really hate is r u gonna c me .the piano version was ok but this one is real bad.

psychodelicide said:

But we don't need to know this.

Other than the opening track (which sucks) I actually dig every track from MPLSound. I haven't enjoyed a Prince album this much in years.

And I love how tacky the cover is.

That's a good idea. And he could also use the CD cover to pick up the neighbor's dog shit out of the front yard.

I played Sign O' the Times over and over when it came out. I went through 2 cassetes, 1 vinyl and now I have the CD. Played it all the time probably for at least a year. I listened to it at least once a week. I'm still not really sick of it.

I agree, if folks don't like this they might as well leave Prince alone NOW, cause it's not gonna get much better!
