Compassion - Same vein as Dance 4 Me, has the same type of keyboard sounds as Hot Summer, the ladies sound good - the "you need compassion, compassion" part of Cause and Effect mirrors the chorus of this song as far as delivery/vocal effects

Beginning Endlessly - Lolita part 2, fat synths, cool dual vocals in each headphone

Future Soul Song - Remember the ending of The Dance on 3121, with the screaming and the "it's just not faiyah!"? It's back in this song, along with the vocal delivery of Somewhere Here on Earth. People who liked SHoE will like this song.

Sticky Like Glue - Black Sweat part 2 (I'm thinking this album is supposed to be as good as 3121) mixed with Ol Skool Company - we have some Camille, a rap similar to the one on Incense and Candles - I love this song

Lavaux - Synth sounds just like 1999, lyrics are cheesy and bad, the tempo picks up with some handclaps and finger snaps

Act of God - Dreamer-esque, Fury, etc. Colonized Mind caliber lyrics. Bleh.

Walk in the Sand - Same type of live band nursery rhyme as All the Midnights in the World, except I like Midnights better. It segues straight into

Sea of Everything - Same type of song as On the Couch / Satisfied, except slightly more futuristic sounding and not to retro. No organs.

Everybody Loves Me - I think he recorded this at the same time as Feel Better, Feel Good, Feel Wonderful ... this one is fun and funky

I know there's supposed to be a bonus track, but it's not included on the leak that I found...

To everyone hoping he would release another album as good as 3121, this is the one. I ALMOST like it more than 3121, but for now, as far as I'm concerned, its just as good, and this is the album I've been waiting for. It won't bring him back to the mainstream, but it's more entertaining and original than LF/MPLSOUND which I also liked. I want the bonus track!

You didn't hear the album... stop with the BS.

There's no way of even telling how popular it was!

That's a good thing?

It is for his future deals.

It'll always look like he sold a bucket load... even if he wouldn't have normally.

Why do you accuse him of lying? He´d look like a complete fool if he had lied because of all the little details he´s mentioned, like certain instruments in certain songs or lack thereof.

I´ve read the German review and Jakesaurus´ review is pretty much on point, and as far as I know he doesn´t speak German. I think he´s listened to the album, somehow, somewhere.

His description is VERY accurate.

I guess I wasn't clear enough... THE ALBUM HAS BEEN LEAKED. You know where to look.

His description is not accurate. "Dreamer-esque" is accurate? Heavy synths! How can some people be so gullible? Post a small set of lyrics from each song...

Look at that guys profile. He seems more likely to leak in his pants.

He's a known troll. Still unsure why he isn't permabanned with all the shit-stirring he does.

Call me gullible or call it a coincidence but some of the stuff he wrote really resembles parts of the German review.

Probably a coincidence then. I didn´t know he was a troll, I have never seen any troll-ish posts by him but of course I don´t follow people that closely.

I found the leak! It was in my pants!

I am seeing a few torrent sites that has 20TEN for download but I have yet to click away. Both sites require a sign up etc..

Has anyone found these sites or any other sites showing the album for download?

I've seen them, but I'm a bit dubious about downloading shit like that when we don't even know if it's really leaked yet or not.

I agree. And Jakeasaurus will not share is findings so I am not sure if what I found is the same as his.

It hasn't leaked.

Wonder why...

I wouldn't trust these sites. They generate "premium" links based on your Google hits. How many of us just googled "prince 20ten torrent"?

you sir are an asshole

Wow. Listening to the title track now!

"Tonight I'm gonna party like it's twenty tenty ten"

Jakeasaurus said:

You people are crazy. Just because you cant find a torrent of it doesn't mean it hasn't leaked. In fact, I myself am looking for a torrent of it because I still haven't heard the bonus track. I assumed Dr. Funkenberry also got the album today, which is why I said you know where to look. So, just to clarify, yes, I have heard the album, no I do not know where it's at online. I thought my mini review was pretty specific without being detailed enough to get me in trouble, I really don't know what else to say.

u found the leak but u don't know where to find it online. makes sense

I think it 's a very clever way to release new music.

The coverage of newspapers, especially global ones around the world dwarfs the reach of the music industry. We're talking millions and millions of readers. If Prince is able to keep making these deals with big news papers , he could easily reach people who didn't know he was still alive.

Strictly from the perspective of taking the music to the masses, it's a clever and (though I think it was done before Prince) way to distribute music to the masses. Whatever his profit margin is for something like this, the real success is just 'growing the franchise' or 'promoting the product line' so to speak.

HOWEVER, that shit better not be a lackluster, boring, album. Prince needs to wow people also. He'll convert a good number of people to fans if he does.

I couldn't agree with you more with what you said.

Same here!

And don't forget: these days (free) albums are released 2 promote the concerts/tour because that's were the big money is!

It used 2 be the other way around but the 80's and 90's are behind us.

So the album has just had a "limited release" as yours "I got it today" indicates, or it had been leaked and you found it, as you posted earlier?
