Prince said nearly a year and a half ago that the PR remaster he gave to WB was the "EXACT SAME ALBUM" only with the volume turned up. So we do know for a fact, that there was no attempt to edit Purple Rain by Prince. | |

My unsolicited opinion: If the album comes out with Stare & Free Urself and any other previously released songs, many people on here will complain about already having those songs for months. Maybe even some of the people currently claiming it's a good thing (wouldn't be the first time). Don't hate your neighbors. Hate the media that tells you to hate your neighbors. | |

Just like when The Gold Experience was released- if you've already heared everything a year before, you really can't get excited about an album. | |

I agree but only to an extent: songs work very differently in the context of an album. Never cared much about What It Feels Like when I first heard it, and it became one of my favourites once AOA was released! | |

Yeah that's kinda a given. That's been going on for years. That's not going to change. I can't wait for HNR2 - especially since I haven't heard any of the songs he has released. | |

I've enjoyed being a Prince fan way more this decade than I did the previous one and we're only at mid-point.
In 2020, when we're all older, variably healthy and good looking, I'm willing to bet one of those Best of the decade threads will have tracklists that sound better (and more fun) than one you could compile from Zero Zero years.
That's why I'm very interested in HNR2. It sounds like Prince went back to his standard modus operandi, but informed by a couple of years of trying different things with younger people. From that era, we got AOA and a couple of great songs from HNR1 and the 3EG singles/record -- yes with a good share of not so great songs but all the same. the lows were what they were, the highs ARE what they are.
He's done a better job at keeping me interested, so I'll be looking forward to HNR2.
A future with Prince unable to release music?
Come on people.

I haven't stopped listening to all of that while listening to some of this. If even half of Phase 2 is new to me I would still be excited for Phase 2. More so than I am for a Purple Rain remaster even if there is an outtake or 2 added, or not. So, I won't be complaining. What? | |

. So it's utter lack of sales and it's complete absence on critics' "best of 2015" lists are just coincidences? © Bart Van Hemelen

It was originally released on a streaming site and the physicals didn't come till later. If they were after sales, this wouldn't have been the strategy.
As for critics list, since when do they mean anything? I'm willing to bet most of them will put Adele on it and her album is utter, utter, shite. |

We Live 2 Get Fucnky would be the weakest link so far. I hope we get this album, though. It looks promising. | |
