Did it rock you like a hurricane?

Get it? A hurricane is an act of god.

EDIT: Early tracklist reports were off. Corrected the order.

Oh shit! Is this an anti-tax song?

I can't stop laughing! I thought the Prince/Tax threads were over.

Can he be far from opening for Palin at a teabagger conference?

Well, that was my 1st impression.

A hurricane is an act of God, but getting foreclosed on isn't. Once again, Prince stretches a political point to the brink of stupidity. I get that he's trying to draw a distinction between things that are acts of God and acts of Man, but most folks aren't going to grasp that. They're going to hear "dirty, fat bankers" and say, "Yeah! Way to stick it to the man, Prince!" when that isn't what the song is about.

I am not feeling this one at all.

Yeah, this is where the album takes a downturn to me...

More preaching.

It's pretty funky from 2:25 and on though...

It definitely gets better as it goes on.

Despite having a juke joint blues feel, the preachy lyrics made me not enjoy it as time went on.

A hurricane is an act of nature

sounds like prince went church on us

but its not all the way church

I knew PRINCE was a conservative.. yet not a republican.. lol

Crap.

Song is brilliant, so funky, so timely. So very funky.

I LOVE this song! It's like he's telling a story here with a funky beat and bassline behind it. I am feeling this song big time!

I agree.

Meh.

Why does it gets worse before it gets better? Another turd.

I dunno, I like the beat, melody and bass. I wanna hate the song cause of the lyrics but this is fun.

The lyrics turn me off so I found myself not being to really appreciate the music like I would've wanted to. Sometimes you hear the lyrics first before you hear the music and that's what happened with this one but his voice sounded all groggy like he had something in his throat.

Same here, actually.

...and should this be track 5 or track 6. I've seen some tracklists having this and Lavaux reversed.

Track 5 is Act Of God and track 6 is Lavaux. Correct your files accordingly.

Wait I'm quite confused. The Mirror said Act of God was track 6 and Lavaux was track 5...

I see... changing up the order.

Act of God is my favorite song on the album...I love it!

Another reason to my eyes at the Mirror.

I think the confusion is coming from the track list on MoQuake, which has 5 and 6 reversed from what the actual track list is. Unless... the order is different from one country to another.
