Hmm I just fixed the order, Lavaux's actually track 6 while Act of God's track 5.

Lavaux... excellent Prince song.....

Could this be another single / video ?

Yep! Definitely "Automatic"!!

This song is something quite special, remarkable cut

The chickengrease is back! Yes.

My thoughts exactly!

Some of the lyrics have been posted...

Can someone post these and the lyrics 2 "Compassion?"

Thank U.

good tune. nothing earth shattering. but love the retro feel to it. lyrics are a bit weird since they

talk about home being anything but nice and france/portugal being so much better. only to then

reference new york as a cool place. and then "whatever road i take will lead me home" which

leaves you wondering, where exactly is home then?

anyway, nice album track but not my favorit on the album.

No way to control it
It's totally automatic

Another winner.... love this joint. Yes I hear a little Pointer Sisters... but also some El Debarge... and some early Prince. Infact maybe some later Prince too.... Bed I Scream?

The lyrics are good too... not clumbsy!!! They flow the guitar noodlings are tight as are the key boards

I also like his vocal... very strong. Very nice ending .... this joint is tight!

Its okay, Once the synths dropped on the my first listen I knew it was on.

Anything that takes it back to the classic mplsound in any way will catch my attention, I wish more of his songs were synthed out jams like this.

It really makes me disappointed with Jesse Johnson for abandoning the old school sound, it can still sound fresh as Prince has shown us.

I agree! I like the synths on here. I think Jesse should have embraced it. The Linn Drums on here is cool and the guitar on here is funky. The return of the chicken grease. I love this song, it's 1982 with the 2010 twist.

Definately

Listen to If A Girl Answers(Don't Hang Up)

similar groove esp the synth, I love it

"If it took a black face...to see the same decay..."

Is this a dig on Obama?

A highlight

Exactly...I listen to the production and the music first..lyrics be damned...

That's how I am with music too.

I've listened to this track atleast 50 times now.

I dont want to wear it out but I always get lost in the groove at the end and it ends before I can fully enjoy it so I have 2 play it again!

Yep, I'm feelin' the same way. This song could do with a good 7 minutes of groovin' with a little Sexy Dancer type solo work (bass guitar, guitar and some keyboard). I won't be mad ... LoL

re: Act Of God & Lavaux...

in the "official" tracklist that's been posted, aren't these titles reversed. the version of the leak I got had the 2 tracks mis-named (Act of God was listed as Lavaux and vice versa), the track numbers reflected a mis-naming in that is sounds like Lavaux segues (slightly) out of Act Of God. I haven't listened to it in reverse, but is sounds natural the way I'm listening.

anyone?

Yes, I've noticed the same thing.

I was wondering about that too, but I flipped them back to the officialy posted order (Lavaux) first, and it sounds right to me that way. I dunno.

This may be my fave on the album so far.

Using old sounds does not make a poorly written song good.

Pukefest 2010.

I'd like the music.

The lyrics suck.

at first listen, this song didn't do much for me. it's just...eh.

it might be a grower though

i like the Pointer Sisters' "automatic" much more.
