Dissapointed with Lotusflow3r?

I'm loving the cds. They grow on me each time I listen to them. For those that were initially critical of the project do you enjoy it now that you have had time to absorb the music?

i think Lotusflow3r and and DiscoJellyfish are both awesome albums.
As far as Bria's album , she has a pretty voice but i buy Prince's Albums to hear Prince not some woman.

Discojellyfish? Not to pick on you but that wasn't an album on the set. lol
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I haven't listened to the CD's in a week or so but I still love the CD's, including Bria's. That's the biggest surprise for me. Prince done good with these CD's. I just hope he goes on more TV shows this year to promote them.

Lotusflow3r is very good..mplsound has a lot of fillers...all in all a good year already, 2 albums + 1 supporting act, now bring on the tour!

Having only just bought the set, I've only listened to Lotusflow3r and it's the most solid and enjoyable album he's released in years. Some fantastic guitar playing on there too, and it's great to hear the best rhythm section he ever had (Sonny and Michael B) too. Their playing is so distinctive. He HAS to do a trio tour with them!

The two new Prince-albums are far from his best work.

Lotusflower is an uneven album with highlights like Colonized Mind and $, and lowpoints like 4ever, Boom and of course Back To The Lotus, that one is spectacularly bad. Then there are several good but not great songs. MPLSound is more even but lacks any real highlights. These are not albums I'm gonna spend much time with.

I'm disappointed in the entire project. I was hoping for so much more from the CDs and from the website. There are some things I like about each of the albums, but they're not great and they haven't really grown on me much.

I really like Bria's CD but I've mostly stopped listening to the other two.
it's time for a new direction / it's time for jazz to die

I love the cd's...with any music, after they are added to your collection, you beging to choose a time and a place to play something...Although Prince is my favorite...I still listen to a lot of other artist's...

I played, "Lotusflow3r," yesterday...this morning I played, "Maxi Priest." cool
