A couple of middle of the road tracks aside, this, IMHO, is the most mature Prince album we've had in a long time. Some real stone-cold classics on this album. Never mind that he compiled the songs over 4 years- his filter was set to 'high quality' for this one. Phase 1 was Prince trying to be current- Phase 2 is Prince enjoying being Prince. Hallelujah. | |

And all due respect, but Black Muse isn't an "amazing track." But "1000 X's & O's" is. (Followed closely by "Hardrocklover") "The password is what." | |

20Ten puts HitnRun Phase 1 and Phase 2 to shame as an album as a whole.
However I love just as singular tracks, 1000 X's & O's, Hardrocklover, Revelation | |

I'll first say that I'm impressed that Phase 2 made it out. The Tidal commitment has lasted far longer than I would have guessed and we have two albums and a handful of exclusive singles as a result. It's the most "committed" I've seen Prince in a long time to a particular project/idea. . On a first listen, Phase 2 kicks Phase 1 to the curb. Yes, it's more "tame" and contains more songs that any hardcore fan has had for a while, but at least they are more polished versions of them to get them into an "album" status, and I appreciate that. Phase 1's "super experimental" (thanks Hanna) sound was complete garbage to me over the first half. . Bundling this for sale with Phase 1 as the only way to purchase it is LUDICROUS. I *want* to buy the new album now, but it's marketed as a PUNISHMENT for owning Phase 1. So yeah - I'll admit to finding it elsewhere to enjoy it until it becomes available in FLAC or physical disk on its own. Where's the love for those fans who bought Phase 1 already? Was it too low of a number to even consider? . That negativity aside, I'm thrilled this is out and look forward to Phase 3. Seems like there's a very good chance it'll surface, too.

maybe u have a problem with me enjoying a song u don't like? Welcome 2 The Dawn | |

It's ok, it starts out great, then just starts rambling on and on kind of like The Rainbow Children album
I think as songs overall, 1000 X's & O's, Hardrocklover and Revelation are so much more solid imo. | |

[Edited 12/13/15 12:42pm] Great post, you've convinced me it's a 'masterpiece'! . I've also listened to it on headphones and as you described better than I ever could it's like smooth 'warm caramel' . His vocals sound as good as ever, I love the way he sings 'it's all coming back to me now' the second time after the guitar solo | |

Good lord, people. The guitar work on "Hardrocklover" is enough to make Phase Two the JV team. Seriously. "The password is what." | |

As for the lyrics, I haven't listened to them yet. My first few listens are all about the overall sound, I don't start to focus on or pay attention to lyrics until my 5th or 6th listen. If I'm not excited about the music the greatest lyrics in the world won't get me into a song. [Edited 12/13/15 13:30pm] Not dead, not in prison, still funkin'... | |

And Satisfied was On The Couch Part II, and that's exactly how When She Comes sounds. Been there before, boring, uninspired. There are some nice songs on this album, but I always skip When she comes. | |

When she comes is a great ballad, anyone who thinks not has no taste. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
yes, "when she comes" sounds like satisfied and on the couch, but it also sounds
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

But it's quite unoriginal. I liked On the Couch and played to death, I don't need a remix of this song. | |

You cleverly edited my sentence ![]() I said it was 'like Satisfied Part II with a Parade twist' and you cut that last bit off. Which the wise Isten also said. . I'm also not overly keen on Satisfied and On The Couch but this is a bit interesting and different IMO | |

Completely agree!!!
Wanted to make a thread about this long ago... These are boring, filler, elevator songs that have been consistanly popping up on almost every Prince album since 2004.
On The Couch Satisfied Mr Goodnight U're Gonna C Me Sea Of Everything What It Feels Like When She Comes
... all boring, uninspired filler songs. | |

Oh lord either he's accused of writing terribly immature songs for teens or barely legal adults or he's charged with writing stuff for geriatric aerobics.
I think Prince fans are just like his mother (WDC's mother). | |

MendesCity said: Big City sounds like it was written for the Wiz redo ![]() It does! Now I'm ashamed I like it. Only two songs on this record I don't like. Stare, and revelation. Baltimore is decent. It has its time and ace. The rest I really really like. Groovy Potential is the bees knees....absolutely awesome. Black muse is just behind it. I have had a Prince record with this many likes in a looong time. A couple months out and shut this down, x's and o's and HARDROCK is all I like from phase one. Booty. | |
