Breakfast Can Wait is an average RnB affair with a try hard gimmick tapped onto the end.

The Breakdown is a decent, but over hyped ballad.

Clouds is an excellent RnB song, half accessible and half deeper statement.

U Know is one of the worst "productions" he has ever released. Screams desperation and try-hard.

Plectrum Electrum:-

FixUrLifeUp is unbelievably average.

PretzalBodyLogic is cheesy, girl pop rubbish with some slightly appealing instrumentals.

FunkNRoll Is classic 80's Camille funk....minus the creativity.

Whitecaps is utterly childish and poorly written and produced.

Overall this new thread is about positivity. Please take all your negativity back to the other threads thank you

I love this!

These reviews are very entertaining.

I hope Prince always generates music to bring forth these responses.

If not, people all'd be all I love it, and that's so boring.

The positivity is all here in the entertainment!

Thank you 4 making me smile 2day!!!!

Plus sign had!

lagantest said: Whoa. Whoa. I'm digging U Know, but NEVER compare it to Quicksand again. EVER.

I think the point was that in general songs that one can initially find to be lacking in substance can reveal their hidden depths in subsequent plays, or at least one becomes accustomed to the asthetic elements of a song that turned one off before, and maybe even grow to appreciate them. It didn't seem like a comparison between the two songs to me, rather an example showing the process of coming to appreciate a song one doesn't like originally. But yeah, there's no contest between the two songs.

i would never compare the two songs ever. Quicksand is a masterpiece of song writing and melody and composition. You really have to listen and understand and try and decipher the messages. But as you rightly said what i was saying was that the song grew on me, on first listen i thought, what is this? as i had heard so many amazing things about it. then it hit me, it is incredible. now i know that 'u know' will never do that but it may grow a bit for people. thats all i was saying.

oh shut up Kingsausage.

You were really hating Clouds and U Know with a passion, being very harsh.

And now "they are growing for you".

Do you think I can spell "ridiculous" right, because that is what you are...........?!!

Next time take a listen before you judge, before you make all that noice here about how bad these songs are.. ok??

I've got a bad feeling about this album...

KingSausage said:

I was on a flight from MPLS to DC today and I listened to Clouds and U Know several times each. They're really growing on me. Perhaps it was because I had taken a shit-ton of Xanax. But whatever. I'm moderating all my pissy previous posts. For me, the jury is still out and fair for AOA. Not a fan of BCW or Breakdown (it's the lasers). PlectrumElectrum still doesn't excite me. Sorry.

i like both of them alot

of course IMHO but they actually sound interesting / he's made an effort vs. 20ten or the random releases since 2013

so = excited

IMHO - I would differ as follows:

Breakfast Can Wait = is ok, would have been an 80's b-side

The Breakdown = ok but an album track

Clouds = is great and interesting

U Know = is is awesome and interesting

Plectrum Electrum:-

FixUrLifeUp - ok on record / much better live

PretzalBodyLogic = 90's Maxi-CD single bonus track

FunkNRoll = well all i can is let's just hope on one of the 2 versions to be released something drastically good occurs to improve it

Whitecaps = sounds like a leftover from the Wendy & Lisa Planet Earth recordings

Oh, I see. We can't change our opinions here? Very interesting. I admire your mature attitude and embrace of positivity. Right.

Talk about attitude and maturity
You went on for days trash talking, this suck balls, this is shit, thats is shit

You went on about some users Youtube videos. Something like...
"Area Man Gives a Fuck" "Who gives two shits?"

KingSausage said:

Stymie said:

Who gives a shit about any of our opinions, King?

I sure as fuck don't. What are we even doing here?

You dont give a fuck about ones opinion, yet you expect others to care about yours? Well maybe you dont

I know you might be thinking im trying to pick a bone with you. I have no problem with you, no grudge, nothing at all

This is just an obsorvating

You might say something funny and i might laugh right along with you. I agree some things do suck! Like that album cover
I actually laughed at much you said, not because it was funny, but how foolish and childish a so called 14 yr old .Org vet acts
You seemed to have this I have a right to be an asshole mentality because its my opinion.

I seen a pattern here. It may not be the music, site, opinions or Prince thats is the problem, I think it might just be you who has a problem.
It seems like you have a need for attention. Didn't you say This is one album i wont buy. A day later you come out and say you bought the pre order? You went back to this sucks balls repeatedly in the same threads where you aleady voiced your opinion.
Trying to antagonize and provoke more responses, and guess what it worked Some peole still fall for it

Anywho i could have said a bit more but im not going to drag this any deeper


You have a right to your own opinion and change it
Personaly i thought it was cool that you fessed up and said the tracks are growning on you
They have actualy grown on me too. Though I still dislike pretzelbodylogic

Wow - dude could have posted on page 18 of an existing thread that his mind has changed, but instead he created a new thread to make it more visible. Give a long-time orger a break.

I've noticed a lot of people saying the songs have grown on them. I think first impressions are rarely a good thing with someone as complex as Prince. I remember disliking "Computer Blue" the first time I heard Purple Rain! Now, it's my favorite song.

I can get with that

I won a free lp with a winning bottle cap on

a 7-up bottle...

went to the "Wherehouse"

and pickep-up "Purple Rain" Lp

brought it home

listened to every song in order

and was not impressed at all

and now I "LOVE" Computer Blue!

and the rest is history...

Thanks. I earned a large degree of scorn and skepticism by my overwhelming negativity in the other threads. Even if people can't get past that, I'd like to still make a point that long-time Orgers can change their minds...or rather that the power of Prince's music change their minds for them! Peace

You put your sausage where your mouth is. That's what counts! Just joking, btw.

Maybe I'll try listening more when I'm not severely medicated. But I tell you, I was feeling some grooves. I'm not saying either song is higher than 6 or 7 out of 10 to me, but they're not the throwaway crap I thought they were. That being said, people who think these songs will help Prince connect with younger crowds are a bit delusional.

I've listened to both songs, and to me, they'll pass, but that's just me.

I see i worded a few things wrong and some typos in there.. but yeah

KingSausage said:

I am eating my own words. Gladly in this case. I opened my mouth too soon and didn't give the new songs a chance. It was stupid of me, and it's likely that I insulted many fans here who did enjoy those songs right from the beginning. That was shitty of me. I acted like an ass.

It takes balls to admit it Im sure most would just ignore, move along and try to forget about it
We all have our good and bad moments, I'm no saint

Its obvious why you are still here, a 14, 15 year Oger. You are a fan, probably a diehard just like the rest of us
I myself have been a diehard for his music 33 years now.. i think Im getting old

As for music growing on you. It happens to all of us i think
I can think of a lot of albums and artist that i was not feeling upon first listening, then what do you know i end up loving it

Thanks, amigos. Next time I start talking like a dickhole, just freeze me for 45 years. I'll be groggy when I wake up, but that's okay.
