Well, I can't hold your hand through all these threads...

Of the tracks Beginning Endlessly and Laydown and Lavaux. The rest is alright, but these few songs make this an instant classic. One of Prince's best albums.

So far I'm not strongly moved in either direction. We shall see.

Listening to each new track is like opening christmas presents..It makes me all jittery

..because it sound like he got his groove back after trying so hard...this stuff sounds like he's himself again...naturally and not forced

I have to admit, this is the first time I actually put on some headphones to have a "first listen" to an album and I'm really lovin' this album. My man P has not lost a step. Beautiful, just beautiful ...

"Compassion", "Beginning Endlessly", "Future Soul Song", the first half of "Sticky Like Glue" and the music of "Lavaux", "Act of God" and "Laydown" shows what Prince can do if he really turned it up. Of course there's gonna be a lot of things that dampen what could've been a great album. It's OK at best.

This CD is GREAT. There are only songs that I can see myself skipping in the future are Sea of Everything and maybe Walk in Sand at times but I really like that one. With that said, even those aren't bad at all. I was ready to hate on Everybody Loves Me and it is silly but I didn't cringe and before I knew it, I was actually bopping along with the song and singing the "Everybody Loves Meeeeeeeeee" part while laughing out loud. I thought Laydown was going to suck but I loved it too. Out of 10 on first listen, I'd give it 8/10. Another great Prince record that I am definately enjoying and I look forward to buying the CD when it hits the stores.

I hate it becuase I can't have it!

this is the most excited i've been about a prince release in 10 years or more!

New Prince release, activity, it's exciting!

I must admit, I am actually impressed with this CD. Easily his best work since 3121!

Good old fashion Prince, doing what he does best... can someone say 'chicken grease?'

...it's his best collection of songs since The Gold Experience. Prior to Gold, it's the best since Lovesexy. Truth.

...even the lowlights are highlights.

I was a little bit worried by the 3 snippets, but I am loving this record.

prince, you did your thing and thats ALL we fans can ask for

i like the album very much thank you sir

(I put this in the wrong thread originally because Mars23 did the love it because I hate it thing.

Brain not able for complex thought at 7am)

This is a REMARKABLY STRONG late career release. Crackerjack tracks from front to back and I'm LOVIN' it!!

Fantastic, love it. His best since Lotusflow3r .

Lotus is in my top 5, and this could be in the vicinity. The true test is if I'm still listening to it 1 year later.

It's definitely better than MPLSound and I did really like that. If this and Lotus had been released as a 2 disc set, then for me it could have probably gone down as his best release ever. I'll enjoy the roll while it continues.

Um have i missed something? How is it out? Thought the French release was delayed?

ahhh no need to respond to my previous post.

I love it. I love how the rhythm guitar is so clear in these tracks.

the album serves rhythm guitar on a silver platter.

This album is brilliant, but please get rid of 'everybody love me'!!

Only on the 2nd listen so don't wanna give a full review yet... But absolutely love it!

I predict that I "Love," "2010," because I predicted I would love Prince's other albumz...And I was right.

I hate the first song, I love about half of the songs and the other are ok-ish. I didn't expect anything more so I'm happy

Been through it a few times now and loving it. Still not keen on Sea Of Everything though.

I love 20ten.......because I didn't have to pay for it!

I love that you have seperate "Love", "Hate" threads for the album. Perfect.

Loving 20Ten so far...and I'm only on track two
