And to highlight my point in the original post, i ain't gonna hate on that opinion....you seem to agree though as you copied my entire post almost...so i don't really have to do that.

I do have to ask, though, how he knew of that "same s*** he's been releasing since the 90's" since he only has those 3, mostly 80's albums...?

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Lawdy lawdy... to each their own I guess. But it's crazy to me that 20Ten is your favourite Prince album. Yikes!

Cuz I've given compilation after compilation of the 90s stuff to try and say "Hey dude, don't believe the hype, the guy was still cranking out some great music post name change" - Wasn't having a bit of it, didn't like any of it. And I know quite a few people like that, the opinion that "if it was any good, he wouldn't have to give it away free with a tabloid newspaper" was very prevalent both times Prince used that distribution method

Future Soul Song is something special.

Not too fussed about the rest.

You say there should have been more of it - then take three tracks off.

Less is more.

True too..however I mean by the 'funk' aspect the poster was getting at.

I wish there was more of it.

Pretty terrible album, seems like an half arsed effort....1.5/5?

Unless you meant it and my cynical mind (too long on the Org) read it the wrong way.

well, not exactly his best of all time, but certainly the best since 3121 (not counting the successful rock/organic experiment of LotusFlow3r) and it's in my personal top15 of all time.

It has everything I want in a Prince album: 10 strong tracks (no filler, and good song order), a funk/rock/electronic sound, SUPERB production, and new classics (FSS, SLG, Lavaux, BE, AoG, Laydown). Also, is the first prince album SINCE Dirty Mind that I usually listen to more than 3 or even 4 times in a row, maybe because the songs are short and catchy.

we need albums like Lotus, but also albums like 3121 or 20Ten...

4/5

GAAANGSTAAAA GLAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM

See Laydown doesn't do it for me at all. I find it rather dull. I'm happy for it be so far back on the album.

The trouble with a lot of his material is that at times it feels like he's doing Prince By Numbers. He's become so competent at churning out songs that he becomes a machine instead of an artist. Only at times mind you.

i think your washer is over loaded there.

(i remember when the washer (top loader) would get out of balance and go "thud thud thud" and I would have to pull out every thing and try to get it to balance. Most of the time it was too many pairs of blue jeans.

Never got into Laydown much for some reason

Nor me.

I llike all of it I think Prince constantly changes his output and creates new sounds with each new release. Maybe he put this one out while working on a million other ideas yet to come, just so people who wanted new music got some.

20Ten is the best album that Prince had ever released. It is funk-oriented along with disco and other themes. That is music to my ears. I would play the whole album everyday. Useful for the dancefloor.

I don't quite agree that its the best ever, but it is really, really good. It definately makes my top 10!! The album is a masterpiece. I do have to agree, I'm spoiled, I want at least 2-3 more songs. I was really hoping for a US release with a couple more songs added. Prince robbed me! But still love that little man, and I ain't complaining...I am just anticipating the next cd. I want some more powerful love songs!

Easily makes it on to my Top 30.

I know, The Dance was the last powerful love song he came out with..been a minute. I mean there have been ballads, but they didnt have any emotion or wit. I really wish to hear something suprisingly soulful like Crucia, Splash, Adonis or Power Fantastic..very emotional unique personal pieces of music.

I used to love everything that Prince did...but this changed since Planet Earth...Planet Earth is terrrible.....20Ten is even worse though....can't believe why Prince releases such albums..while in the same time he can release stuff like Lotusflower..but this is my thing...enjoy it if you can i would say.....

20Ten is amazing, BUT it is BY FAR his best album ever. Haha, You are entitled to believe what you wish concerning it...I mean it is an amazing album for me, but I couldn't agree it's his BEST EVER...Maybe the best in free news papers stands, but "EVER".seems like it was created to start a argument. Hahaha

I'm still loving how the OP wrote "Sticky:" in the thread title, hoping it would float to the top of the board and stay there by magic

^ The sticky that never was and never will be.

I know what you meant but you contradicted yourself within the first sentence. The word 'NOT' should have made an appearance.

Anyway, going random momentarily...

'Sticky: My Pants'

PS: For all you Yanks, pants means underwear/briefs/y-fronts and so on. So when Prince sings about taking baths with his pants on it always leaves a funny image in our UK heads. In fact until I learnt about the American usage of the word I actually thought Prince was singing about being in his underwear in the bath. Which isn't at all odd for Prince tbh.

I think if Prince had taken the best songs from Lotus, MPLS and 20ten and put out one album ...you would have quite an album!
