Love the way these two songs sound after one another on ONA Piano The intro to Young & Beautiful is killer I love Prince's Instrumentals so Arboretum fits right in with his other's Two great songs!

I like those songs too. I like ONA piano all the way through.

They don't really float my boat. Glad someone likes them, but the ONA album has never really been one I have been able to get into...

To say it's of a similar length as Dirty Mind, I know which 30 minutes I would rather listen to.

Y&B is one of my favourites from the 00's.

Cool songs.

Avalanche is my fav on the album...truly brilliant.

Brilliant musically and half-baked lyrically. There is so much more to that particular history lesson than he cares to discover. SOOO much more.

Lyrics are very poignant with an apt metaphor about the heavy historical responsibility of racism and it's true "weight." It's a song, not a history text. What does he need to "discover?" The Lincoln reference is used as a shock to the system to make his larger point.

The song is very smart, achingly beautiful and right on target.

i especially love young & beaut.. this whole album i can put on repeat, always sounds fresh
