Worst 2 albums of his career.

NPS, 20TEN?????????????????????

Both are MUCH better. AOA is his worst album. But I like Plectrum Electrum and listen to most of the tracks every day. TicTacToe ist stuck in my head.

He has exceeded my expectations on AOA. I don't think I will get bored with this album at all. I hardly ever listen to albums like 20Ten, Planet Earth, New Power Soul, The Rainbow Children or Musicology any more, while all of the other albums still get plenty of spins. Although I think I'm going to throw The Rainbow Children & Musicology back into the mix. The new albums have really revived my enthusiasm for P's output, even the more recent albums.

I still don't get it.. I still think

AOA isn't that good at all..

plectrum Electrum is far superior to me

Is that a haiku?

AOA exceeded my expectations only because PE was such a massive let down for me.

i am curious how breakdown sounded to u since i hear a few here talkin like it fuckd up

.

I really like it. I don't understand why some hate it. It's a solid Prince R&B ballad like only he can do. Nice piano, strings, lyrics ("there's a door that you can walk through where there used to be a wall"). I also love where it's situated -- in between Clouds and The Gold Standard. It makes TGS pop even more. And Prince told Arsenio he really liked it, so . . .

i do too but i was referring to the sound quality that some people say sucks. what do u think of it?

it's a very good song

brings me back to "the beautiful ones"

the way Prince sings....(his way of vocal range)

I like it very much

the only bad thing is this;

"I can't get it outta my head

it keeps me up at night"

"U keep breakin me down, down, down"

(enter Scream here)

"U keep breakin me down, down, down"

"there's a door where there used to be a wall"

(enter Scream here)...................

well, you get the drift? now back to me

I gotta go cook a tri tip......

for real; the coals are hot and turning bright red

But i still can't get "the Breakdown" outta my head

and I have not even turned on my stereo yet.....

It's alright, not mind blowing or anything. Just a solid 7 out of 10. Might be my age though. I just feel everything has been done better in the past. Not just by Prince either.

Movies, good TV and Gaming come way before music to me these days.

I got an hour to kill. Game of Thrones, Mario Kart 8 online or Prince's new album? Hmm. Sorry Prince. You lose.

Oh. It sounds ok to me, but I'm no audio brickwall expert.
