I think we need another album where Prince sings about how he is the ultimate party machine on top of lame drum beats. Oh wait we already have 100 versions of this

Or one where he tries to lecture a bad girl about proper morals and devotion.

As long as he puts the new ballad "When She Cums" on it. It will complete the "Masterpiece"...

I hope not. His albums have been getting weaker. If he does lets hope theres some rock and funk type jams like on MPLSOUND, but no more of this R and B trend chasing crap that litters 20Ten (I just heard it today, very weak album).

Prince is 54, he's past all this yo yo break it down type stuff. I heard a Tamar track which was painful to say the least, forgotten its name - but it had a line "Its a beatdown into 2006, 2007, 2008 yo" with that drum machine beat on it.

What I mean iof its a double, its Prince only and not Prince and some talentless bimbo squeaking along to tired Prince lite jams. Does anyone still listen to Elixer anymore, I don't think so. And we want 2 full CD's each CD has to have at least 12 fully baked songs, no segues, lyrical breakdowns, 90 second instrumentals to be counted, no unknown rappers of marginal talent ruining them, and no 8 song albumettes with 75 empty tracks to a secret jam at the end.

I think this is part of an overal way he presents himself. Many other musicians did the same (the Rolling Stones were doing that even when they all appeared to be 100 years old).

Prince hanging out with twins at fashion shows, dating dancers, and being seen with much younger women--it's all very Hugh Heffner, isn't it? But nobody seems to say that Tom Cruises's movies are worse because he's married to a younger woman, or that Mick Jagger sucks because his wife is younger, etc.

However, Tom Cruise isn't staring as 18 year old boys in his movies, and Jagger's music doesn't play catchup current music youth either.

The only thing I can say to that is either we think Prince is relevant to the younger crowd or he isn't. All I read on here is that young people don't know who Prince is and he's not mainstream. If that's the case then who would be creeped out by his behavior? Certainly not the demogtaphic that we've established doesn't know him. Any fan of Prince with a semblance of knowledge knows he likes his women younger than him. If it wasn't an issue when he was topping the charts then why is it now? For casual onlookers it's a distraction from the music but for longtime fans it's merely something to bitch about.

I have to be completely honest, if this were to be an album that Prince were to release, I know its not, but it'd be the first Prince album I wouldn't like to buy. I'd be MEGA pissed at Prince if if he were to release an album like this - sound more JEhovan than rainbow children

I actually took a while to do this and thought it was quite funny and creative doing it, love the good reception its had so far. I based the song titles on recent albums of the past 8 years. Muse and Bemused are a play on the Lotusflower tracks 1 and 12 and the words Candles, Love and Cream are all parts of recent Prince song titles. Also that a lot of his recent records have had a lower number of songs (Although with Prince most single CDs with more than 12 tracks include filler) and of these songs, there are at least 3 or 4 uninspired musical segues, instrumentals of sub 2.30 minute duration or empty trax.

Despite some great songs on every album, Prince's music of late has become very oblique and slef indulgent, songs are written on auto pilot and he has not updated his lite R and B/Jazz/Pop sound since at least the Emancipation era.

This album fantasy was an imagination of a low quality send up of his recent material. The cloud of Jehovahs Witness, parasites like Larry Graham and small minded religious bigotry, has just led to a glut of less than innovative, short and bizarre releases. I doubt Prince is writing a song a day any more like he used to.

Its getting to the stage where we are all just existing on memories of the 80s and 90s material. Maybe like David Bowie he may just stop making new music altogether.

He is not in studio rehab, he is in release rehab, I am sure the songs are still being laid down in the studio each week, and if he is true to his word, which he rarely is, we will most likely never hear them. We do have the live versions to look forward to though, I am sure a few will sneak into the live shows.

Prince never stated he would stop recording music, just that he would stop releasing it.
