Well, when he said "albums still matter" it was just after putting one out that had a great attention to detail and sequence--whatever you may think of the individual songs. My Legacy

This is not a comment on the album ... I've not had a chance to listen to it yet (beyond the 30 second preview snippets of each). | |

BS , obviously you do use if you cheat to get access...Periiod..lif you dont use it then you dont use it..You wouldnt need to cheat. I have cheated to listen exclusively to Prince tracks that I have subsequently bought. Some of the tracks I have paid for today I have bought several times before (I have now paid for Fallinlovetonight three times, the rest of phase 1 twice, as well as Baltimore, Groovy Potential, Screw Driver and RnRLA). I understand nobody is making me pay for this music and it doesn't justify me using more than a free trial with a tidal but a) I am not doing anything that they can't put an end to if they want and b) if Prince ran his business in a more honest way, I would not even dream of being 'dishonest' [Edited 12/12/15 12:35pm] | |

For what it's "worth" I paid for 3 months of Tidal. I listened to the same tracks, too. I will pay for at least a month. K. thanks. | |

so you've never listend to a boot leg or any unauthorised songs on you tube? "Keep on shilling for Big Pharm!" | |

Plus the HitnRun concept makes it fairly clear to fans that this is not so much an Album with a capital A but more of a no frills song collection.
It's like... just because you believe in dressing to the 9s for an evening out doesn't mean you can't rock something more casual in the afternoon. Both are equally ok, it all depends what you are setting out to do. | |

I'm hoping that Tidal will soon add an option to download only the new album, or that it will be available on iTunes. I'll buy the CD when it comes out. But I want to hear it before then. Organic funk? That sounds like exactly what I wanted after I didn't like Phase One. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

I would throw my money at Prince if he could find a more successful way of promoting his music. Having said that, Tidal and Prince will get my money again because of this release. | |

I really doubt they will release the CD considering Phase One underwhelming sales.
Fingers crossed. | |

I'll say this once again...
REVELATON
is just absolutely stunning.
Look At Me, Look at U is not bad...
The rest is just ok material... | |

Of course they will.
If the album only sold 1,000 physical copies, that'd still net £10,000 and the majority of that would be profit. |

Fingers crossed. You may be right. I would buy HNR Phase Two today if I could get it alone. "Drop that stereo before I blow your Goddamn nuts off, asshole!"

Hmm....there's some strong stuff on here...Still don't like "Xtraloveable" though. Too tame and misses the bite of the original....But overall some good shit on here (love a lot of the horn work and the mix is beautiful to the ears)...If I were to combine the two joints and make ONE album, this would be it:
X's Face Hardrock Lover 1000 X's & O's Baltimore 2Y2D Look At Me, Look At U Stare Groovy Potential When She Comes Screwdriver Black Muse Revelation Big City June
This^^^^kills.....

Can u imagine listening to REVELATION on vinyl... | |

3 listens in and I'm loving it! I'm glad Baltimore is on this album as I've always liked it, Groovy Potential,Revelation, Black Muse are all fantastic. I was a big fan of Phase 1 and didn't think Phase 2 would be as strong but this is classic Prince, yet again I applaud you Mr Nelson!👍🏼 Interviewer: What's it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world?

I think you will like this one - how do you not just get a free trial with Tidal to listen to it. Only just up to Black Muse, but what I have heard so far - fucking ace. Poor Josh! I'd like better artwork rather than the South Park stuff but thats a minor gripe. Musically it is so 'him' bits reminiscent of other songs etc, and lyrically not as retarded as some recent offerings (yes, I know Baltimore is on there)... . Gonna keep checking Amazon as I need to buy this one - other than the singles and listening to on Tidal I never bothered getting phase 1 (cancelled my pre-order in fact after hearing it). . And, free urself and if i could get ur attention may still need to find a home! Comin str8 outta Preston... | |

Hey Prince....please contact me buddy if you want to upgrade your album covers.
I swear I can do much better for you than what you have been releasing in the last few years.

I come on here every day and the majority not all of you are a bunch of complaining bitches.. Sorry but not to be rude but in the last 24 hours we get a 20 min concert and a brand new album. Does it matter if we had some of the tracks? So what if we did you take that away the album is solid, not many other artists are as prolific as Prince. In the last year we have had 4 new albums name another artist that dose that? You complain when nothing comes out and you complain when it does. Here's a thought quit the bitching and have more listening.. Ok rant over.. | |

Most of it does sound good but Screwdriver sounds horrible in comparison to the rest. It sounds overloaded and distorted. Then again it sounded like that from 3RDEYE Tunes from day one. I also purchased Screwdriver and RRLA from Purple Music and they sounded 10 times better imo. . It's great he decided to release this. A few teases here and there then.......Boom, it gets released. Thank You! . Overall the whole thing flows well even with Screwdriver in there. I'll be honest it's not my favorite Prince sound with all the horns. I'm more into heavy guitar, poppin bass, and heavy synths personally. That said Groovy Potential has been one of my favorites and I'm glad to see it get a more proper release. . I need to listen to again before I ramble off anymore opinions. I will say I would have been much happier if Baltimore was left off and Free Urself was included. Never liked the Baltimore track from day one musically or lyrically and I really liked Free Urself. Not a biggie since we did get Free Urself anyways.

It's not really. It's more "organic" than Phase One but that's mot saying much. | |
