This story is interesting but understandable. 20ten is his worst album IMO. When I first hear it I liked sticky like glue and act of God but completely forgot about it a month later, and it has not aged well. Parade is almost 20 years old and still sounds fresh. 20ten is 4 years old and it's already dated. Just awful.

In my honest opinion, some of the songs had potential had they been given some decent production. The first thing that hit me when I first listened to 20Ten was the cheap dated sounding production, some tracks sound like they have been produced on a cheap Casio keyboard from Radio Shack.

For example, if Sticky Like Glue had been given some decent production and sounded "ballsier" musically, it could have been up there as one of his best funk jams.

This is why I LAUGH my ass off when people say PRINCE should do what U2 did, SORRY not going to happen, ONE Prince is not U2 and most would not care about a "new" Prince album. TWO no one trusts him, sorry to break it to you all, he may still be a huge touring force, or could be when he decides to do a real one. But no one trusts him with "deals" like that anymore. the RAVE fiasco is fucking legendary, and he was lucky the SONY thing worked but that was more or less "I better save my ass" Prince getting real. But still handing him money and letting him do something is not what labels are after him for.

No one CARED about U2's new album. I'm sorry to break it to ya but I believe Prince still peaks the interest of many. U2 just ain't all that special anymore.

piques! PIQUES!

I never heard anything about this being rejected....I believe this was released just as he wanted.
