yep...along with "Chaos & Disorder", and "Lotusflower", its one of his worst albums

I got into Prince after that album...3 favorite songs right on that album: Love, The Word, The Dance.

Love, Fury, The Word, The Dance are probably the most consitant songs on an album especially after the 00's... That's why I don't understand how 3121 can be that "awful" compared to his other albums released in the 00's...

Lotusflow3r besides Colonized Mind and Dreamer has more filler than Emancipation... MPLSOUND is just God awful. Planet Earth is the most boring and bland Prince album he has ever recorded, with the exception of Somwhere Here on Earth, which loses points for the cheesy line in the middle of a beautiful chrous, "In this digital age, you could just page me..." Pager in a digital age...

20Ten is started off good but it just became an OK album, nothing special besides Sticky Like Glue and Future Soul Song.

Musicology is an average album at best.

AOA is an average album, but it lacks substance as a whole...

Plectrum Electrum isn't that great.

HitnRun is a miss except for the excellent 1000 X'S & O's and HARDROCKLOVER...

Personally I feel 3121 as a whole has the most consistant songs overall.

SNL version of 'Fury' is quite better than the studio version, because guitar is louder.

'Te amo corazon' is flawless ballad, authentic Prince ballad, video is beautiful.

'Incense And Candles' is a very cute and sexy jam.

'Black Sweat'...hot and funky.

Get on the boat people...i mean, you can't get more that this, amazing closer, groove, funk, energy..

On Satisfied' i got somehow a 'International Lover' feel..

Long been one of my favourites too!

+1

Ooops really?? One of his worst.. imo.

I find it so average, I only like 1 song from 3121.. and that's Black Sweat......

It's a weak album in my opinion. Nothing really stands out at all. Too many tracks ruined by poor production.

3121 is a very good modern Prince album. But I don't think it came touch TRC.

Yeah, this and that!

3121 is the most consistent and solid album bar TRC. It has some real classic tracks too; Black sweat, The dance, The word, the funky title track and the sweet Te amo corazon. Get on the boat could have been left off.

AOA come close to 3121 though. A million miles away are Musicology and HNR1....
