Well, I've been on holiday for the last few weeks and as a result haven't listened to the album until the last few days. My opinion? Best Prince album for years. Eclipses Lotusflow3r and Planet Earth without effort.

It's actually the first time in a long time (Lovesexy maybe) that an album by him has actually sounded like the Prince I got so turned on to. So many elements that remind me of so much of his more accomplished work yet in the original way that only the earlier Prince could ever do.

I would happily have paid for this on cd or vinyl. I just hope it gets a "proper" release somewhere in the world.

Oh, and Compassion is a perfect start to an album in what I hope is a new period for Prince.

Well U see, there are a bunch of color coated "Zero's," and "One'z," built into the computer, and when they steal too much color from the archaic computer bin...they dissolved.

Ditto, your post is spot on to the way I feel. The last few albums I've giving most songs one listen and done w/ few exceptions... but when I got 20ten, I played Compassion about 10 times before finally moving to Beginning Endlessly.

Lets hope this new era of Prince music is more suited for our taste and it last long awhile
