yes daily rotation and I've pulled out the best of the last 6 years or so and have a great mix going.

I listened to it every day for about a week.

Now, every 2-3 days.

Getting 20TEN has made me go back and listen to a lot of other Prince albums i have not heard for a while.

That's funny. I've been doing the same thing as far as listening to other Prince albums I haven't to in ages. It's like a compare and contrast kinda thing. I think Batman will be tonight.

I write articles for examiner.com and I listen to the cd while writing. I also like to jam along with it with guitars. Still think his vocals are awesome. Future looks great with these great new songs!

It's the first thing I listen to every morning, at the crack of dawn, on my morning run. Love it, and think it would be amazing to hear the songs live. The only thing that kind of gets me down about it is that it feels a little overproduced, but a live setting would take care of that.

wow

not even 2 weeks old-and you need to ask THAT ?

of course i 'still' listen to 20ten

and Arras, Roskilde, Virage in between listens

still plenty of purple sounds keeping me more than happy thanks

Honestly? Bored....bored to tears. He can do so much better, his lazy way of production is keeping him in a rut. Not to mention his cooky cult that limits his potential

Yes, I do.

COMPASSION has grown on me.

BEGINNING ENDLESSLY is a good groove.

FUTURE SOUL SONG had me at that intro drum pattern*****

STICKY LIKE GLUE is my favorite on the album, tight funky beat & love the vocal arrangement & scattered guitar licks!!!!

ACT OF GOD = no thanks.

LAVAUX has grown on me a bit. I used to skip it at first, but I've gotten into his groove on this one now.

WALK IN SAND is beautiful, brings me back to his FOR YOU/PRINCE era song styles.

SEA OF EVERYTHING is exceptional. I usually favor his funk stuff over his ballads, but I love all 3 on this album.

EVERYBODY LOVES ME = NO, just NO.

LAYDOWN... now that's more like it. Cocky,funky Prince >> at his BEST! & more of the funk guitar licks delivered as only he can.

i've already moved the best songs onto my new pet project "the lotus experience"

which is basically the emancipation for the 00s. it's 3 discs of 12 songs each, wich

pulls in the best songs from musicology up to tewntyten.

but as a whole, i still listen to the album in my car, it's a nice disc, i like it a lot and

think i'll be coming back to it more than, say, planet earth or musicology.

I didn't like it at first. Now I keep playing it.

I got my copy yesterday from a friend who was in London, so I've playing the CD in the car.

I just bought it, so no opinion yet:-?

After a few spins (really few, it doesn't need or deserve more than that) I've already sort of dumped the album.

I haven't listened to it for days. I don't think I'll listen to it again, if ever.

When my hard copy hit my mailbox, I was already done with the listening.

I don't think Prince likes it very much either: he's not playing most of the songs on his current live gigs. It was just something to be given away with newspapers to regain some attention and sell a few tickets.

You should learn to read.

Ouch.

Do U still breathe?

I'm still digesting and still feels great!

Nope, after three listens I went back to Distant Relatives and Ceelo's mixtape.

I listen to it all the way through everyday.

'cant wait to ride with it blasting. Its the weekend!

Has the initial shock worn off?

Are the songs sticky like glue? Or have they slipped into obscurity?

Do U still jam?

I think 20Ten is dope, I rocked it on repeat for quite a while but I have yet to play it in about a week since I try to keep things fresh and switch it up.

I quite like some of the stuff, like Begging Endlessly which I think is the best song in the album. I like the sound of Lavaux too and Compassion.

Some people say the album sounds like it was put together in a rush. Well, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case since we all know about Prince's reputation of working very quickly. This is a fun album.

Yes, esp. Walk In Sand been getting the most play. Followed closely by Laydown.

After eight days of listening to 20Ten, I want to hear it more and more. (I added "Cause and Effect" to the beginning and "Hot Summer" to the end so it is a twelve song album for me.) So far I give it an 8 out of 10. The only thing missing is a song that is a straight razor rocker and a song that is a bit more traditional R&B/Soul with a church organ and a cafe' desire, but I'll still take 8 out of 10. Right now favorites are "Cause and Effect," "Future Love Song," "Act of God," and "Laydown," but I don't skip any songs as of yet. The only song that gives me any displeasure is "Sticky Like Glue" because of the rap that destroys the flow of the song, much like the rap in "Love 2 d 9s" from The Symbol Album, but the ending of the song almost saves it from the rap portion. (I'm not a big rap lover, but since I don't listen to much rap Prince's rapping has never really bothered me. However, the rap in "Sticky Like Glue" is Gawd Awful, in a corny, inauthentic sort of way. Yet, around the 3:15 mark just after the rap, the vocal delivery almost makes me forget the rap.) “Cause and Effect” is one of my favorite types of Prince songs, two or three movements or different vibes in one song—think “Joint to Joint” from Emancipation but not as smooth or funky, but the guitar work is wonderful in the way Prince can blend funk and rock like few others, and I love the reflective yet defiant lyrics. “Future Love Song” isn’t “Adore,” but it is smooth and sensuous with a strong alto delivery. “Act of God” sounds as if it could have been on the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack, but it is more certain of its soul roots that steady the rock swing. And “Laydown” is my favorite mode of Prince: defiant, arrogant, f-the-world mentality with a bass groove and guitar lick that reaffirms that Prince is still the funkiest mutha on the planet. It evokes memories of 1996-1997 when my wife and I saw a total of twelve Prince concerts where at each one we were yellin’ “Play dat muthafuckin’ bass” during his live performance of “Face Down.” The nod he gives to “Funky Town,” which was written by a producer from Minneapolis, of course, and calling himself the “Purple Yoda” are fierce, bad ass, and makes me want to hold myself while I drive slowly through my suburban neighborhood! As for one additional song, “Everybody Loves Me,”…err…Prince…Disney called, and Miley Cyrus wants her song back, or is it High School Musical? In truth, the Prince who wrote “Soft and Wet,” “Uptown,” “Dirty Mind,” “Head,” “Controversy,” and “Sexuality” would pimp slap the taste out the mouth of the Prince who wrote “Everybody Loves Me.” Yet, the Prince who wrote “Everybody Loves Me” seems to have embraced that being happy is a good thing and everybody needs a little happy music. Still, with lyrics like “Ain’t nothing to it but to do it” and “Shake it like you don’t know better, whoopty whoop,” makes me wonder just how happy, centered, and at peace do I want Prince to be? Yet, when he follows “Everybody Loves Me” with “Laydown” it is almost like what Ice Cube said about the person who said he is no longer afraid of Cube because Cube makes comedies, which is “You don’t have to be afraid of me to get yo’ ass whipped.” “Laydown” whips the ass of anything that was considered to be funky in the past three to five years. Slap bass is Prince slappin’ the haters; take dat, take dat, take dat you lame muthas!!! “They say this name boarders on blasphemy; everybody wants to be me. If yo’ girlfriend hadn’t had the surgery maybe she could see what I see.” And Shelby J’s vocals are just too cold, too funky, and too church simultaneously. For a year or so I've been saying to the people who think that Prince hasn’t produced anything note worthy since 2000 that Lotusflow3r/MPLS, The Rainbow Children, and Musicology are excellent works that fall just short of classic/brilliance/genius, and now 20Ten is demanding to be given that label, but I'll a wait a few months.
