Prince just mentioned on twitter that Revelation is on the new album as well.

Did not hear that one yet but gets a lot of people excited over here.

What I've heard of Big City does not make me excited... But the news that Revelation is on this album is really good. I've played the semi-live leak of Revelation over and over again, and it's magnificent.. Can't wait to hear an official version.

Agree with this - Big City does nothing for me really. The Montreux live version sounded a bit Broadway.

.

But I still think an album with the likes of Revelation, Free Urself, Stare could be promising. I wonder how far back he'd go, would he put Groovy Potential on it. Hopefully not, the more new tracks the better. Not that I'm holding my breath that it'll actually get released......

it is because us peasants cannot recognize the magnificent quality of it.

I'm pretty sure no two people have the same taste. This retarded "THERE IS ONLY MY PERSPECTIVE AND A WRONG PERSPECTIVE" shit is kinda boring... and retarded.

Really? The reason I like Big City so far is because it reminds me of Tom Browne's Funkin' For Jamaica. That's hot.

Yes, I picture this at a show with the horns, female vocals and a load of dancers giving it the jazz hands

Even the opening line 'bright lights..' for some reason gives me a cabaret vibe.

I've never heard Funkin' For Jamaica - I'll check it out......

I just listened to that snippet of Big City - more of this please! If HitnRun is a return to live playing (without 3EG vocals), I'm in!

To my awareness, there's no connection in style from Part 1 to 2. Part 2, according to reports, sounds like a vintage Prince album. Hopefully, it includes Revelation. I think the original idea with the three parts was for each to showcase a distinctly different sound and aspect of Prince.

Your "awarness"? I haven't seen any reports from people claiming to have heard the album.

I hope Indifference is on there.

Was there a deleted tweet where Prince confirmed Big City being on HNR2? I thought that song sounded sick as hell. The horns are unbelievable.

Yes, he replied a lot of tweets and then deleted them

Wow could you imagine an album with Indifference, Revelation, Free Urself, Stare... Would be amazing.

I actually agree a little bit with Bart believe it or not...

I think Prince's output in the last 15 years we fans have sometimes become confused on the quality of Prince's music from a technical and musical aspect set to the standards he created in the 80's vs just using an "opinion" as scapegoat.

Some people's opinion is that MPLSOUND is better than SOTT or Purple Rain, but that's opinion, doesn't mean it's correct from a technical and musical and critical standpoint judging by the standards of that certain musician, vs. just personal opinion.

While I appreciate your perspective, to your first two statements I and I would think plenty of others here know pretty clearly when they do and don't like something. Not EVERY orger is a syncophant. I genuinely liked just about all of HitNRun as I did AOA & PE. I don't and have never liked For You, parts of ATWIAD, SOTT, the latter half of lovesexy, GB, C&D, just about all but a few songs off of Emancipations's 3 disks, huge swaths of Crystal Ball, Rave, ONA, and the majority of everything released in the NPGMusic Club. Its NOT just within the last 15 years that he's produced music that not everyone likes. Its been from the very beginning. What I don't like, others love and vice-versa.

.

People have the "opinion" that music criticism is some type of science, but it is not. At all. You can evaluate virtuosity in musical instrumentality, you can evaluate the power of a hook to some degree, but what makes a song good largely depends on whats going on inside the listener's head. Which is why if I were to play you what I listen to when I'm just amongst other Dominicans you'd probably be like WTF is this repetitive shite, but we'd all be like "my fucking god this shit is beautiful". Thus opinion is no scapegoat, its context. It presents itself at the intersection of what makes you you and the particular aesthetic you're encountering. So to take your example above "judging by the standards of that certain musician"

. Thats a perfect example of the inescapability of subjectivity. If I am an expert at an instrument I will know with great detail when I perform less than stellar and the public won't notice a thing. Quality in that performance means one thing to me and another to the public.

.

As stated once by musicologist Winton Dean.. "There is no counter-check outside the critic's own personality".

Could all just be prick teasing. Yeah, these tracks will be on there but Josh will have taken a dump on them and monkey noises and lazers will have been added, he's not tried to ham crusty trance yet so maybe an Eat Static style version of Free Urself??
