Surely, this is just the beginning, but After being lost in the wilderness (Psalm 107:4-6) for a decade or more, i'm just thankful I got a chance to hear AnotherLove, Dreamer, Revelation, Marz, Dance 4 Me, U Know, Look At Me, June, Stare, 2Y 2D, When She Comes, Colonized Mind, Black Muse, and an intoxicating batch of other songs.

Thank you!

May God Bless those who didn't make it with exclusive virtual live stream access to the entire Vault up there in "Uptown".

Sure, the songs are good.

So he did release a single good song even according to a nega-automaton like you.

Yep.

Oh and for some reason I like the ThisCouldBeUs remix.

Prince is much better when you "surrender ur xpectations." I spent probably more than a decade thinking that the best was yet to come, and then it never did. Then I realized that it doesn't need to. He's given us enough. There has been plenty to enjoy over the years, and also stuff that I don't really like, often coexisting on the same album (Black Muse coexisting with Screwdriver for example). It's par for the course when you're dealing with a diverse artist like Prince.

It would be nice to get one more truly inspired, innovative, concept-driven record, that only Prince could make, with the perfect cover, the perfect font, the perfect liner notes, and the perfect cryptic message, but I'm certainly not expecting it. I'll continue to cull the things I like from his current output and just enjoy that.

For every perfect rose, there are ten butt-scented weeds. But some people like butt-scented, and that's okay, too.

I kind of agree with the sentiment of OP's statement. Prince, was always mostly a sloppy and quirky songwriter. A lot of time sex saved a song that might otherwise have been easily forgettable. He was just as dramatic and unstable in the early to mid 80's as he is today. I don't think a lot has actually changed except he's perhaps even more self-indulgent and a bit sloppy. Social media just makes it all too easy for him to weird out publicly where before he had to call a press conference to vent his bullshit and even then the media would edit him down to present a more flattering view of his state of mind. I think Tidal is the perfect place for him to release his new music. Hopefully all his physical releases will be vinyl only going forward for a while, and he doesn't have to worry about the embarassment of low sales. The audience for vinyl is more sophisticated, imo, and might appreciate Prince's mature songwriting style.

You mean Thisthisthisthiscouldbeus? That's a funny choice coming from you, I tend to skip it.

The remix is really dreadful apart from the guitar solo

If I remember correctly, Josh took a mediocre ballad, deleted most of the horrible lyrics, and put an enjoyable (to me) spin on it.

And oh, there's a nice guitar solo.

We should inundate Prince's twitter with these kind of messages!
