Seriously...ya'll people need to revisit 20Ten. I'm now hijacking this thread and turning it into a 20Ten appreciation thread!

Agreed. There are some new classics on that album. "Sticky Like Glue" is worthy of being on Sign O' The Times.

Thank you for your input.

#20Ten

9/10?

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

I think Black Muse is far better than those songs

Far better? Ok I take back the "all due respect"

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

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.

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

I gotta say it... What's with all the love for Revelation? Maybe it's another case of hype ruining my expectations, but, I'm not feeling the greatness most here are feeling for the track. Same with Big City. Neither of these is a highlight of the album for me. Not hating them, they're okay, nothing special to my ears, though...

Did you listen in a great pair of headphones? We have a decent, small sound room set-up (hubby is a producer/dj, i used to dj) and played it off my phone through our studio monitors and WOW.

Then I listened just in my iphone headphones, and was still blown away ....

I find the warmth of the production and the aural 'space' he allows - its not as dense musically as say adonis and bathsheeba, but this song lays into your ears like warm caramel - takin its time and he sounds as if he and the horn are in a slow dance, conversing intimately...THAT HORN THO - my god - its beautiful, it's not rushed and the song takes its time where every second is allowed to linger...

so, um, yeah then the lyrics are outstanding...prince seems to equate the love and adoration of a woman as pathway to heaven and the orgasm as a way to view/be one with God...at least thats my take on it...and how does a man mange to find those words, and have the nerve to say them outloud...it's breathtaking ---

so alla dat -- it's a real masterpeice. (as u know who would say)

I'm a DJ myself and I listened on my 800W Peavey system through a pair of 18" full range Peavey speakers.

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.

When She Comes is liked Satisfied Part II.

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.

yes, "when she comes" sounds like satisfied and on the couch, but it also sounds
like "do u lie?" and it's surprisingly filthy. i like it a lot.

antonb said:

When she comes is a great ballad, anyone who thinks not has no taste.

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

Speaking of remixes, how about "Space (Universal Love Remix)"?

But I digress.

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).

I dig that tune. Lots. But its overrated.

Funny thing is at first I thought it was overrrated. Until several more listens.

So genius.
