those cymbals are killing my ears though. i wish i could take them out

or at least turn them down from 489 hpm to about 15

rest of it is nice enough tho, i like it more than Fix or PBL.

Anyone else think that bassline sounds similar to D'Angelo's in Sugar Daddy?

The rhythm guitar also reminds me of D'Angelo's rhythm guitar work in recent live performances of Devil's Pie.

Nice clone of the Camille era. I kinda like it.

With the Camille feel & all I wonder if he just unearthed this from the 87-88 era or it's actually a new composition?

cant find it on their twitter!

If you're sick of evil knocking on your door
Throw up the lovesigne once and forevermore
If you'd rather make love and have a little fun
Throw up the lovesigne, everybody and not the gun.

You're wrong. In fact, there's no greater champion of Prince's music than me. I love the VAST MAJORITY of his output, up to and including MPLSound. I thought 2010 had two Prince classics in Beginning Endlessly and Act of God, but I haven't heard a decent song since, and they're getting increasingly bad. I think Prince is the greatest performer in pop music, but I believe he's finished as a songwriter and producer. I hope I'm wrong.

I'm just quoting the lyrics of the song you say is poor song writing. Everyone has different taste and aesthetics, what you consider good (e.g. Beginning Endlessly and Act of God) I think are crap and vice versa (I love 90% of everything he's released with 3EG, including LOL). Thus I think it's best to qualify blanket generalizing statements about the quality of his music with "IMO", it's a little closer to reality, since you speak only for yourself, as I do me.

Fair enough, and sorry I missed the words to the song; it was a clever reply after all.

Overblown production? It's a very sparse, raw-sounding track.

like someone said already,

this song is Hide The Bone part II,

and... that's a good thing.

Man, it's hard, but I don't wanna listen to it until the album comes out (hopefully!). Like to have more surprises to my ear than less.

I have to agree with this, my problem with the negative crew isn't that they don't like anything Prince does anymore, it's because they're obviously so self-involved, that they spout 'opinions' as matter of facts and they recycle the same 'facts' so often, that it's hard not to think of them as trolls.

Personally I feel that 'FUNKNROLL' could be straight from P's classic era, it's absolutely slamming and along with 'sticky like glue', one of my favourite songs of the last 10 years.
