Pre-ordered new Iphone6 & TWO projects.... 2 good 2 b true!!!!

All in one month!!!!!

If you perceive a phone (!) in the same way as a Prince album then -either way- something is wrong.

The apple thing is a cult with unsufficient freedom.

The prince thing still allows us certain freedoms.

I'm a MAJOR techie! I love having all the latest professional gear at my finger tips to play with. Can't wait to play A.O.A. on my new iphone6! So they both are intertwined in my world.

Android allows more freedoms.

Androids are copycats! I prefer the original. I am very loyal! I never left since 1979.....

Android might allow more freedom but I've never felt limited by iOS. I am an app developer and very much looking forward to getting the 6 and 6 plus in a few days and having a play. Two new Prince albums, Two new iPhones and FIFA 15 all in the same month. Awesome

Prince left behind in 2000, isn't it about time you did too? He was for 7 years and has been Prince again for 14. He never wanted to be , that was a time of sadness and for him, painting slave on his face etc. When he changed back to Prince he claimed he was free, so why do you insist on calling him by his slave name? It seems very, very strange to me that a Prince fan would still connect him so strongly to such a sad period of his life. If he wants to be called Prince surely it's more respectful to refer to him as Prince? It's bad enough when people outside of the fan base say, "Oh, isn't he that weird symbol bloke?", you should know better.

While I side with you that using his love symbol in any reference to anything Prince is annoying to read (even though you didn't say it out right), to say that it's his 'slave' name seems a bit much (even thought I know what you mean), considering all of his new promotion including recent concerts his symbol 'slave' name is plastered everywhere. Unfortanately for you he will always be that weird symbol bloke, as long as he continues to use it.

Did you notice that the length of all songs of both albums are known for several days?

He called himself a slave, so it's referring to that, which I agree was a bit much but that was Prince's doing, not mine.

It's not unfortunate for me, I don't care. Just giving those people who insist on calling him some food for thought, while at the same time trying not to call them names.

This confirms Affirmation I & II is just a segue, as most suspected. Also, Breakfast Can Wait is the same length as the single release so most likely same version

So, AOA is 53:14 and PLEC is 44 minutes exactly. Good stuff.

I agree. 'Breakfast Can Wait' is a total throwaway track, like 'Mr. Goodnight' from Planet Earth.

As far as Art Official Age, I really like 'Clouds', 'Breakdown', and 'UKnow', but can't stand 'Breakfast Can Wait'. I will wait to hear the entire album when I get it.

.

I think something happened to Prince when his 20ten project was rejected by labels and distribution (with WB likely in that mix). Think about it... he pours himself into crafting a real throwback sounding Prince album, no one bites, so he chops the album down drastically and gives it away. Then, he becomes "album shy". There was another album project in the works, which would have included 'Rock & Roll Love Affair', 'Screwdriver', etc. Remember the shirts, guitar, and lyric sheet, all with the flaming graphics?

.

We'll see... it ain't over.

After the Funk 'n' Roll download one might get the impression that 'internet singles' do not last very long.

God-awful songs, both. What possesses him to include this kind of dreck on albums?

I like Funk and Roll, but it ends just as it is getting really good

quite remarkable that these albums haven't leaked yet, especially since more than

half of them has already been released.

the release date on Dutch itunes is september 26th. but i guess leaks usually stem

from actual cd's already being distributed to press and retail outlets and perhaps it

is just a few days too early yet since the physical release seems to be sept 30th in

every territory globally.

still, quite impressive that they haven't leaked yet since 70% of albums these days

are leaked anything from a whole month up to a week prior to official release.
