yeah...heard it on 3121, LF, MPLS, PE...out of those, 3121 was a great album (imo)
but the rest...didn't live up. And in fact, I don't really WANT another "unmistakbly 80s sounding" record. I want something NEW...unexpected, ahead of the curve. Something the last couple records were not.

=0P

DON,T WASTE YOUR TIME !!! UNTIL PRINCE GETS A PRODUCER ,BRIAN ENO (LOOK AT WHAT HE DID FOR U2)FARELL WILLIAMS,TIMBERLAND,OR ANYONE ELSE IT WON,T BE WORTH LISTENING TO,THE SAME OLD TIRED SOUND.BUT THAT WOULD MEAN HE WOULD HAVE TO LISTEN TO SOMEBODY SAYING "THAT SOUNDS OK PRINCE BUT TRY IT AGAIN,CHANGE THIS BIT "ETC ETC.NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!!PLEASE GET BACK AND WRITE WITH WENDY AND LISA ,YOU CAN HEAR THEIR WORK ON NORINA PALLOW,S (SPELT INCORRECTLY)ALBUM.THE BLOKE IS A PLANK!!HE IS SLOWLY DESTROYING HIS CAREER.

The org wouldn't have a life if they didn't do this every other week. You know that...

Paris9748430 said:

Exactly.

Her post is a little confusing. Because to me "no comment" is usually reserved for 'I don't have anything good or otherwise to say about it.' Plus "We all fell on the floor" does not sound positive. More like 'we all fell on the floor laughing'. The "Can't wait it's realease" does sound a little sarcastic to me... I don't see how this is hype.

LOL, you prince fans are crazy in the brain

yall some negative people on here if i was prince i would find out exactly who u r and ban your ass from buying my music and attending shows cuz yall show no love u sound like fat people

People read a lot into a tweet!

I,VE STUCK BY PRINCE THROUGH THICK AND THIN .I WAS THER FOR 21 NIGHTS ,I,VE STILL GOT MY TICKET FOR THE CANCELLED CONCERT IN LONDON IN THE LATE 80,S OR 90,S WHERE PRINCE SHOULD HAVE BEEN.I AM NOT NEGETIVE ,I ONLY WANT TO SEE PRINCE WHERE HE SHOULD BE ,AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD MUSIC TREE!!

And so the cycle starts again.

A rather throwaway comment by someone about liking the sound of Prince's next possible output sends some apoplectic with excitement, others complaining that it'll be the same old rubbish, and minds are made up before anyone has heard a thing. Some pretty much demand a "return to form or I'm finished with him", as if Prince owes us something.

Then we wait what seems like forever for Prince to actually release said music, listen to numerous rumours about it and speculate on the quality of tracks based upon something as weak as the name of the song.

Prince does his usual release method these days of giving someone a track or 2 to play. The overreaction goes into overdrive as yet again the merits of the entire album are judged upon little evidence.

Then, when we finally get the album, everyone is so burned out by this process they can't appreciate it at all. It's compared to work that's over 20 years old, and if you happen to like it you're either deluded or brainwashed according to many.

Forgive me if I just can't be bothered with it all. Seems like my attitude is one of a very small minority now - music shouldn't be about comparison, or trying to convince others of your opinion on it. You either like it or you don't, and no justification is required. I'll take this man's next album, give it a listen, and see how I feel. I've been lucky enough in that I enjoy most of what he offers in the past, I don't need anything else from him.

Although I love Pharell's work, especially N.E.R.D I really hope he doesn't turn to any other producers. To me that would be such a sell out. I listen to Prince not just to hear his voice, but to hear his words and music and how he feel they should sound. Although I do agree he could use some inspiration from Wendy & Lisa and the rest of the Revolution.

So much better not to believe the hype when it comes to a lot of things. I dug Avatar, did it change my religion? Nope.
