"Newpower Soul" is like a low budget B-Movie that I know isn't very good but I find myself putting on & watching over a classic film. It's badness is part of its quirky appeal. So bad it's good. It's mediocrity part of its attraction. "Newpower Soul" is so committed to being what it is- I prefer it to patchwork quilt track listings like "Musicology", "3121", "Planet Eartb", etc.

Precisely. Patchwork quilt it is not. Imagine such a record from someone else. anyone else. It has the prince stamp.

Wasted Kisses is a hauntingly good song... Even gives me a Batman Black Album vibe...

Very unique song especially for his lack of quality during the late 90's...

I actually wish he continued the direction of Come On and Wasted Kisses, those are two really great songs... Could've been an amazing album if he continued with that direction, cause those two songs dare I say sound like his 80's work...

I would rather listen to NPS than Emancipaton, Rave, MPLSOUND.

Come 2 think of it... I agree. Can add Planet Earth on the list too...

I've always thought NPS was a pretty good album and after just recently listening to it again, that opinion hasn't changed.

it's called new power soul. u got a problem?

What Bart means is that you should have written newpower as one word. Apparently, that's very important. I don't like it all that much myself, but I remember talking to the journalist who reviewed it for Dutch magazine Oor back then. He was a big P-Funk fan and gave it a positive review. The P-Funker liked it better than the Prince fan!

Newpower Soul is the album/title track that you're referring to. The album with Prince on the cover holding the gun microphone, and the album with the song Newpower Soul, Come On, Wasted Kisses and The One.

.

New Power Soul is a song from the previous NPG album Exodus.

.

Not really splitting hairs, as they are different projects, similar to how Get Off and Gett Off are completely different songs.

How is liking an album a guilty pleasure? Surely a guilty pleasure woud be something like cluibbing seals or masturbating to hentai?

Anyway, I like half this album. I don't believe it's a shit as most make it out to be.

What a ridiculous statement. Shall I spell it out?

For some, it's entirely correct to define this album as a guilty pleasure. Why? Because nearly everybody else thinks it sucks balls. There.

Is that a "come on" line. Pun intended.

In that case the guy is right. It should be spelt as one word. i totally understand the OCD among hardcore fans...

.

It's not about OCD, the album is called Newpower Soul. Someone who proclaims to LOVE the album should respect its spelling. If you don't, it just shows the world how you really feel about it. The Org is full of people who claim to love some shitty song or album, and then they proceed to write errors in its title.

.

It's a bit like people who use the word "genious": right there is everything you need to know about that person's opinion.

I think masturbating to clubbing seals would be worse, but I'm not judging.

Album doesn't do anything for me, but I must admit I've probably not listened to it start to finish in 15 years or so. Come On is good though, and Wasted Kisses a lost gem.

It is about OCD. you know what i'm referring to. everyone else knows what i'm referring to. there's a way to point it out. your impatience with the error points to your being a hardcore fan, and therefore OCD. i like. thanks for pointing it out. i had never noticed it. but don't reduce music to a technicality. you can love music without knowing the title of the album, and in rock and roll's case, without knowing english even.

About not knowing English... I thought I did, but what's OCD? Now before Bart goes all it's not my native language and I'm not ashamed to admit that I don't know everything.

stuff in another thread

Actually, he should have behaved like an adult and renegociated.

You misspelled this word right here so your opinion is moot. Is this how this works?

Honest to Christ, you really are an arrogant, unsufferable pain in the ass, aren't you? I bet you're a real hoot at parties. Telling everyone how dumb they are and all. What would you be doing with yourself if you weren't out here trying to tell the org how wrong everybody is all the time? Do you have to shit up EVERY thread in the process and insult people for the basic crime of liking things that you don't like?


5,784 posts over 13 years is an AWFUL lot of effort just to say "I hate Prince and his fans are idiots." That's 4,475 days. Over one post a day for 13 years just to say the same fucking thing over...and over...and over. Jesus Christ, go outside or something. Get laid. Listen to music you like and go post about it somewhere. Anything. Please. Thanks.

Shit like this right here. Basically the same post.

You love that song so much you made more than one spelling error.

Plus this is BS. This is your opinion and it makes little sense. Very little.

The fuck is wrong with you?

Have to be a little SICK to post the same negative responses for over 13 years... SICK...
