I wasn't used to that from Prince. I was used to him breaking boundaries and this was the second album (after Batman) where he wasn't doing that. He was obviously repeating himself. Can't Stop This Feeling I Got, Joy In Repeyition, We Can Funk had all been out on bootlegs before the album was even out. And The Question of U had been played live before the album was out. And then to hear New Power Generation (a term he coined two years earlier) where he spoke about "your old fashioned music, your old ideas"... Well, that's a perfect description of your own "new" album, dude! The Nude Tour was a Greatest Hits Tour and the Grafitti Bridge album featured a lot of old ideas, so this was the first time Prince was looking backwards and a 'new" album wasn't really new at all, just him reworking old ideas... New Power Generation, what a laugh...  Tell us how you really feel why doncha. Nelson George chided prince and Morris for cAlling themselves a new generation at the geriatric age of 31. There Are some real duds on there for me. All the stuff he had other people doing was crap. And. I might not be in popular company but I always thought tevin was a weak singer. | |

It´s hard to pick one because I love this album...I would say the Question of U is one of the most beautiful songs he has ever done. To be honest is between my all times favorite songs.
Also love Joy in Repetition and We can Funk.

I like Prince's songs on this album, I think they are stronger than on Batman or even Lovesexy. Joy In Repeition is my favourite, one of the man's very best songs but Thieves & Elephants & Flowers and A Question of U almost match it. Not so keen on the title song or Still Would Stand All Time though.

"Thieves In The Temple" I think because I've heard it the most being the lead single. I've grown to really like "Joy In Repetition" in later years though. (Late to the party, I know.) | |
