Discovering sounds I haven't noticed before only makes the songs more interesting to me.

to each his own

I still enjoy Gett Off for what it is: a highly enjoyable New Jack Swing relic

I get this for 'I Rock Therefore I Am' - not a stellar song in the first place, but there's the sound of this guy talking on the end of it that just makes it unlistenable for me. razz

On my tape version of SOTT, I became aware of a droning sound in the background all the way through 'It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Night'. It's very low level but constantly present, like someone holding a long note on a saxophone. It became very offputting! I suspect it's there in the recording regardless of format.

That is a chord on the keyboard, it's meant to push the enrgy over the top. Like it's pushing through to another level. It's a a musical choice that's played l o n g .

A bit like the funky odd organ chord that comes in on Housequake or even Musicology, but a lot more soft in the mix and bass heavy.

I'm again astonished that this sounds like a mistake to other ear instead of the cool innovative arrangement touch it was meant to be.

The wooh is on the one!

I can't listen to the song "COME" because of the tamborine (at least I think it's a tamborine. It' sounds like sleighbells or something.) and the drums. That's ALL I hear from the song.


As far as Gett Off, I can't listen to it because I always remember "23 scriptures and a one night stand", then I want to stab somebody.

I have something similar with some other people's songs. Radiohead's Airbag and Mobb Deep's The Learning both have what sounds to me like sleigh bells in them. Fucks with me. lol Still play those every so often.
For all time I am with you, you are with me.

Wow, I just played Gett Off - and I had noticed that symbol before after the scream and it was OK but not picked up on it that it repeats every couple of seconds throughout the song - and it is annoying !!!! I just wish I had not read this thread now - hehe

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜
