See, there's the thing. I don't have to answer the question JUST because you put it out there. It's been answered over and over again. Go with who you want, call it without merit, but that doesn't change the truth that my answers are out there, and the album is racist and separatist. You've taken it to a lower level constantly because you're all butt hurt that someone peed on your favorite racist Prince album. Get over yourself, bubba. The truth hurts, but just go with it. It shall set your dumb ass free. Ooops, was that too personal for ya? | |

Really? I consider SLM4M to be the most accessible songs on the album, and one of the greatest songs P has written. Honest, beautiful, romantic. Nice lazy groove. Very Parade in its sound (sans horns). AMAZING song. | |

True. Even I can say that "She Loves Me 4 Me" is a good song. Very pretty, and quite personal. It almost sounds like it should be a B-side. Some of his more personal songs have ended up as B-sides (Hello, She's Always In My Hair, Girl). SLM4M is definitely the cousin or sister for "Pearls B4 The Swine", in style, mood, and arrangement. I'm not sure either are Paradesque, but rather I'd fit them more with SOTT area. Reminds me of "Adore" and "Forever In My life", thematically. | |

Hatman said: ronnwinter said: Ok...Ive heard people praising TRC, but I gotta tell ya... I dont get it. It was, in my opinion, the most unbearable album he's ever released. 1+1+1 is 3 and everlasting now were the only things half way enjoyable.
wow, you can't even get into the work? Do u have trouble getting into feel good feel better feel wonderful, or housequake? For all it's wackyness, I find rainbow children really fun. The work is one of his greatest James brown style funk grooves ever. Muse 2 the pharoah is also a heckasex groove with an irresistable electric piano riff. I can understand not getting into say, wedding feast or she loves me 4 me, but to say there r only 2 good songs...for a fan of prince's other stuff, I just can't get wit that viewpoint. I do agree however that lotus smokes it, but then again I think lotus is a pretty incredible achievement (something I've had difficulty convincing my friends of, believe me!) The Work is Ok...Could have been a little stronger. Just not enough there for me to put effort into sliding into my cd player. | |
