god, i am torn : musically, i wanna say high, lyrically, i wanna say average, and those DAMN VOICE OVERS make me wanna say low

i guess my vote is average



AGREE nod The music is insanely refreshing, the lyrics are cool. If it weren't for the voice overs, it would be tremendous. However, a non-Prince fan would say WTF is that? As seasoned listeners and lovers of his musical talent, we tend to bypass that and JUST LISTEN.

I reckon this album to rate highly against his previous work, for a few reasons.

First, it can be regarded as a statement of evolving musicianship. Its production to me is showing his few dozen years of experience. For instance, he is showing a fine taste in the thickness of the sound, using exactly apt layers of instruments for the sound to be rich and colourful, without distracting from the song itself.
Also, the album has a live-feel, which, if you examine the components, is quite a challenge, with the bulk of the content being played by just two persons.

I respect a person to be explicit about his religious beliefs, although I do not agree with all his statements. It shows his attitude, that he did not smoothen the message to get it across to a larger audience.

And the artwork is more than decent, and that I do not see as a core quality of Prince, he has proven. smile

For the record, my vote is high.

It took me a while to realise that this CD had a strange effect on me. Whenever I played it, by the time I reached the beginning of track two, I had stopped whatever I happened to be doing at the time and found myself just chilling to the sounds. I didnt realise it had this effect until I burned my dinner three days in a row.

Only a high-calibre album can do that to me.

Compared 2 previous albums: Emancipation, Rave, NPS, C&D, Come etc...
HIGH! Atleast I can listen to it, even if some of it is cheesy I can atleast play the thing.
Personally . I think we are all Boring with No Lives cause all we do is talk about Prince,Criticize and Gossip. I need a Horny Man is what I Need and probably so do most of yas. We are Sexually Frustrated what we R... Amen..!!! - zelaire
