Also & Joshua r fast becoming the new Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis of the twin cities. Everyone knows Jimmy is the main composer of the highly successful duo. With Terry adding the funk juices. It's the same arrangement here but MORE profound...It's a match made n purple heaven...

This new sound is INTOXICATING!!!!

I've always enjoyed this parody account. This might be my favorite post ever. Good one! Hahahahha!

Plot twist: Half of all of the every-day orgers on this site today are the same person. *explosion*

Most of it reminds me of those times when I'm out late on the weekend and I scan my car stereo to find something to listen to but can only find a bunch of loud, poorly mixed house/rap music, so I end up listening to Dixieland jazz on NPR.

I really like June, but I wish it was longer. That's about the best I can say. This could be my least favorite Prince album. Why is he releasing this with songs like Revelation and Stare in his arsenal?

And can anybody tell me why I can't space between paragraphs on here anymore?

for some reason it only works when you press SHIFT plus RETURN/ENTER at the same time.

My new pick-up line. Wish me luck.

So far it's not working. I've been slapped twice and had a drink thrown in my face. Either it's an awful line, or being pasty and bald isn't the "in thing" anymore.

HITNRUN is especially embarrassing in the wake of amazing albums like D'Angelo's Black Messiah, Van Hunt's The Fun Rises The Fun Sets, and Bilal's In Another Life. All albums that have clear Prince influences, but make Prince's new material look like a cruel joke.

oh hush now, you know you'll be back here in 2 weeks singing HITNRUN's praises, just like with AOA

Gah...the transition between HARDROCKLOVER and MR. NELSON. I haven't felt a jolt like that since I was rear-ended in a grocery store parking lot last year.

I first listened on my phone this morning and thought exactly the same. Tonight I've been listening through the Chrome browser and track to track is flowing much better.

Good to know.

There are way too many throwback noises on this record to call it experimental. A few pages back someone used the word cluttered to describe the sound....that's a good word for it.

The effect is that of a kid in a candy store over-indulging. As an artist Prince doesn't need this amount of bells, whistles and gimmicky noises. I would have preferred more nuanced flourishes here and there. Prince has a great voice and the manipulation of it is overused.

I would have loved Million Dollar Show minus the intro. I like Judith's album but she sounded kind of like Rihanna on this track.

Shut This Down was going good until it was ruined by the slowed down vocal.

Aint About To Stop is pretty good.

Like A Mack? I don't get the context in which he's using the word Mack so the song annoys me.

I don't like remixes of any kind from anybody.

The Exes Face sounds good minus the fart noises at the beginning.

Don't like his vocals on Hardrocklover....nice music though.

Mr. Nelson is just silly.

I really like what was done with 1000 Hugs And Kisses. Good job.

June is outstanding. Very poignant and effective in conveying a sense of alienation and estrangement. I played that one over and over.

I am not a musician but I would say that Josh needs to find the right balance by exercising some restraint instead of a one size fits all approach of throwing the kitchen sink at everything. Some of the songs suffer from not having enough space to breathe.

Maybe you need to drink more. Then again, it's Monday night... You could try again later this week...

Ha...or maybe the ladies need to drink more. (In order to make me more attractive, don't cha know. )

I hope some of the songs grow on me. But I'm very skeptical. I strongly dislike this album. (Plus, I was going through some shit right when those AOA singles came out. Thought I had lost a child. Nothing like that this time. Just shitty Prince music!)

wow, that sounds very heavy. so i guess this time around you're head is fully here

and you do indeed, kinda hate this album well, i'm sure we can cope with that,

althoug KcoolAid might make some noise about it

On a recent thread asking for Prince's best opening line to an album, I put For You. So I'm patting myself on the back with the opening line to HITNRUN.

You're a genius. Up until now my ringtone was the theme to Sanford and Son. Thank you!

I was thinking the exact same, but now that you've pointed it out, it will probably takes two months.

Nah, this new album is pretty bad. The style isn't my cup of tea to begin with. But it also sucks because it's shitty.

But you like 20TEN and Rave, so anything is possible when it comes to you and Princey.

Um, who are you and why am I here?

Aerogram said:

So far I've listened to half of it and it ain't half bad. Its definitely a "modern" sounding album(not sure if that's a good thing or not), and regardless of how the album is viewed, I'm glad Prince is mixing it up a bit. Also i Love the bass on the songs I've heard so far. And Prince sounds( looking for the right word)? Rejuvenated, Maybe?

Overall, better than i expected(after reading some of the comments on the org). I wasn't really expecting much but as it stands now, i can see myself listening to this album more than just a few times.

Anyway I'll comment on individual songs later.

well, i feel i should explain, i was listening to "1000 Hugs & Kisses"

again and that last minute made me think of this:

i guess i was thinking about that because i'm a 64 yr old woman,
trapped in a 37 year old man's body

it's cool though, i know what the honeys at the club like.
