Now I'm glad I saved my 88 cents. All soloing for no reason. The lyrics work in some parts. Hook is a bit lazy. I'll give it a few more spins while I can. The 3rdeyegirl.com songs were all pretty tight and I initially disliked RNR Affair and it became my theme song for 2 days, so I'm still anticipating the new apparent cd, as if I had a choice in the matter.

gah! why can't I find this?!

I hate to say it, but the intro reminds me of supersonic by oasis!

Ever listened the intro of "Bombs Below" by Living Things?

Totally reminds me of it I love Living Things btw...

All the peeps that mentionned the song will sound great live I agree, I thing it will ROCK live

Recent tracks like Colonized Mind & Wall of Berlin let me know that he still has it and a "sub par" track of his is still more rewarding than the majority of music that's out there.

Do yourself a favour, go to youtube and listen to "Quit it" by Miriam Makeba. Then you know where prince had his "inspiration" from for Colonized Mind. I used to love this song, but since I know that he just ripped off another artist without giving credit I can't listen to it anymore.

Not bad. 6.5/10

Positives: I like the "sound". Kind of a bit more '90s-alternative-rock' than the normal 'Hendrix/Led Zep' rock style he normally goes for. It's definitely listenable.

Negatives: Lyrics are a bit preachy, confused and occasionally clumsy. The faster/funker bit at the end is funky, but it seems a bit needlessly tacked on.

But promising signs nontheless. Looking forward to the album!

Oh boy, heard it and it is painfully obvious Prince is now so desperate for inspiration he's taken to remaking shit songs from his past.

That pathetic tacked-on funk doodle isn't even the worst of it.

Those lyrics... ugh, dude really needs to stop reading those awful self-help books Americans love so much.

LMAO that he thinks this will be a hit on iTunes.

dude..despite myself i love reading your posts!

and what irks is there is always a teensy bit of truth!

anyway man i like it!!

please,please show me some of your work......

jesus...its like a kid with a crayon saying how he could improve monet

I actually don't think it's that bad. It's different. Prince isn't going to make another PR or IIWYG, so I think the mentality of "he ain't what he used to be" needs to be gotten over with. Yeah, this song may sound a little like a 54 year old appealing to the listeners who're 24, but he's trying to regain the broader audience he had in his heyday.

I'm just happy to have the priviledge to listen to new music.

How is he doing that again?

With a small club tour where the minimum priced ticket is $250

A website that doesn't even bear his name (and can't be bothered to consistently sell his output)

And schizophrenic marketing--prince2013, 3rdeyegril, drfunkenberry, madison dube vimeo, sometimes itunes, but NO youtube LOL

yea, way to "broaden audience"

ok, i've listened again since i had 6 hours of sleep and posted my initial

grumpy old muppet reaction

.

and now, i actually think the first verse is pretty cool. i like the vocal on

that a lot and the very subtle psychedelic undertones.

.

not sure about the rest of the song yet. but it's a grower, that much is

obvious to me now. so yay

At what point in the show do they play it?

I scrolled through a couple times and couldn't find it.

Holy sh!t I can't believe it. Prince is back y'all. He's back. For the first time in 15 years, I might actually buy a Prince album.

He finally put out a studio song that's "intense", both vocally and musically!

I love the way that he yells the chorus.

The guitar on the main melody remind me of "Let's Go Crazy".

"Fixurlifeup", hunh?

IstenSzek said:

the songs would be a lot less forgettable if they had better lyrics though.

his playing is always good, his songs, although not as stellar as anything

he used to do, are always at least good to very good imo.

but his lyrics and the constant returning to a few done to death ideas are

what drags everything down imo.

it's his refusal to write songs about anything that goes beneath the crust

and touches on his own life.

.

i mean "you need to fix your life up"? really i think if i had 2 failed

marriages, a couple dozen girlfriends less than half my age, numerous

failed websites with disgruntled customers, constant problems with tax

and other bills, a religious fervor that alienated me from 90% of those

who used to care and my mind changed like the leaves on the trees,

yes, perhaps then i'd need to "fix up [my] life"

.

IstenSzek, You broke P's arse off something proper!

I'm getting a Gold era, C&D vibe off this track.

I really love the way the bass squirrels around... lyrics are average... great guitar work...

Breakfast can wait is still my goto track from this effort.

FIXURLIFEUP is pretty good. It's not on the level with most of Lotus Flow3r, but it's a nice song. It's not the Garbage Bart Van Halen would have you believe....and it's not the MASTERPIECE our Great Boo Boo Buddy KoolMuzico says it is....it's just a nice song with some really good guitar parts, and yes, it has some rehashed Prince sounds in there.

I agree with Bart.

this song is a pain to listen to. C-r-a-p.
