on an album that evokes the "MPLS sound", yeah, they are horribly out of place. true doesn't belong on this release, but not overrated imo.. | |

I'm new to org from Housequake so I may be judging SuperFunkyOrganGrinderSexy and a few others too hastily, but you said that you still come to org because you have friends here even though you haven't dug Prince's music in a while. As a writer, I have started a few writer's groups and workshops, and when one went in a direction that was not my interest, I stopped attending and found ways to connect with my friends who stayed without attending the meetings just to say that the group or direction was wack. And I will admit that I have not been here long, but I have never read SuperFunkyOrganGrinderSexy say anything positive about Prince's work. It just does not make sense that I would come to a site simply to tell people how wack the site is or how wack the art to whom the site is dedicated. And unless I'm missing something, other than the chat room, where I have never been, it seems that the constant berating of Prince's work seems unnecessary or overboard if not out of place. For instance, I like MPLSound as much as I like Lotusflow3r. I also like Musicology, 3121, and Planet Earth, but I don't feel the need to berate people who don't like it. And I'm not saying that you don't have the right to voice your opinion, but what is the point to constantly saying that Prince has “lost it” on a site that is dedicated to sharing and enjoying his work. Do you think that constantly saying that Prince has lost it will cause him to re-discover or find it? Do you think that constantly saying that Prince has lost it will cause some of us not to like the work? And, let me be clear; I am not challenging your skills of music analysis or critique. Based on your highly trained ears, Prince may have lost it, but what does that matter to those of us whose ears are pleased by his sounds? If it were me, if I felt that Prince had not done anything worthy in the past five to ten years, I don't think that I would continue to return to a site where his new work was constantly being discussed. There are plenty of artists whose first couple of records I like, but their later stuff doesn't interest me. I don't go to a site created to celebrate their art and say "Such and such has lost it." I've been a Prince fan since 1980. For my own personal tastes, MPLSound if funky as hell, and Lotusflow3r rocks hard in a funky place. I'm only moved by "Elixir" from Elixir, so I did not put the rest of it on my iPod with Lotus and MPLS, but I don't have a desire to beat people over the head who may like Elixir. If McDonalds changed the recipe to the fries, I wouldn’t go there everyday just to tell them how wack their new fries are. I’d just find another place to purchase fries. | |

Riverpoet31 said: I mean, give me a break:
This album is as superficial and plastic as can be: Prince is making a fool of himself, by trying to copying the likes of the Black Eyed Peas and the Neptunes, and failing immensely. In terms of songwriting and compositions it is as worse as New Power Soul. He uses the linn-drum, he uses those cheap sounding synths, but he simply doesnt use them in a brilliant way as he did in the eighties: big difference. MPLSound is an annoying, opportunistic, cheap 'album'. Anyone with some selfrespect should avoid it. 2/3 out of 10. Nothing more.   | |

Well, I would't have used drastic words like you did but generally I agree with you. I see three good songs on the album (Better With Time, Ol Skool Company, No More Candy 4 U), the rest is worse than and not even as inspired as Planet Earth. This is not old school Prince, this is an (somewhat pathetic) attempt to appeal to the "basic instincts" of Prince fans by using the Linn and the Camille voice. I don't like it. d. aka TAFKAdboy / drummerboy from housequake.com | |

This is exactly what the mature and sane Prince fans don't understand about the constant whiners. Its the illlogic of their actions that perplex me. I mean I truly don't care if such and such doesn't like Prince but I don't understand the "celebration" of negativeness that some present. I can only conclude that bashing Prince must compensate for some other aspect of their lives that they must remain mute on. | |

ive pretty much gave up on understanding that type of behavior, but you shouldn't let it bother you. while you continue to enjoy the music and have fun, let them deal with their Prince demons. | |

I mean I truly don't care if such and such doesn't like Prince but I don't understand the "celebration" of negativeness that some present. I can only conclude that bashing Prince must compensate for some other aspect of their lives that they must remain mute on. In the end, a Prince CD is just a piece of entertainment! That is ALL! Many people do not know how to just enjoy a Prince CD as simple entertainment--they have to critique, analyize, compare, rank, size up, judge, and pick apart the entertainment until there is NO joy to be gotten from the CD. To actually HATE, say, "Planet Earth", and say such ugly things about a simple piece of entertainment is sick in the head. Prince music shouldn't make you say ugly things and put hate into the world via Prince.org.. It doesn't make you smart to judge Prince's creativity, or rank each piece released. Prince attracts alot of A-holes. It's funny- If I go to the Crowded House website, I don't see HATE directed at "Woodface", or "Time On Earth". The fans are pleasant, respectful and appreciative. The lyrics and behavoir of Young Prince made up a certain fanbase that can't handle sanitized, safer, older Prince, and haven't grown older with him. He's moved beyond a segment of his fanbase and that segment is the loudest in being jerks and a-holes. Prince puts MPLS Sound into the world. "RIVERPOET" puts out negativity and hate...you should be ashamed of yourself "Riverpoet"  | |

You probably have, it's just it's only when something rubs you up the wrong way that you remember it and feel the need to comment.

This album is as superficial and plastic as can be: Prince is making a fool of himself, by trying to copying the likes of the Black Eyed Peas and the Neptunes, and failing immensely. In terms of songwriting and compositions it is as worse as New Power Soul. He uses the linn-drum, he uses those cheap sounding synths, but he simply doesnt use them in a brilliant way as he did in the eighties: big difference. MPLSound is an annoying, opportunistic, cheap 'album'. Anyone with some selfrespect should avoid it. 2/3 out of 10. Nothing more. You've made a nearly identical post to this before: http://prince.org/msg/7/302711?&pg=1 We get it. You don't like Mplsound, and you're just pompus enough to think that your opinions matter more than others, that you alone understand what it's like to be a true Prince fan, that anyone who likes Mplsound doesn't "get Prince". Pathetic.
I have to say, this seems to be typical Org. Somebody says something in a thread and then makes a completely new thread about it just to make sure they get the most attention. | |

So let's start this off with this: http://www.prince.org/msg/12/87259 It's about Musicology no less!  Now mind you, this was before I heard the trainwreck that is the CD 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |
