Love it. I play this album more than Phase 2, AOA or PE. (Insert something clever here) |

Love 1000 x's and o's, June. Like Shut this down (if I am in the right mood), think Hardrocklover is a flawed and incomplete potential masterpiece (that song live would have been badass), and X's Face is a bit too overproduced but still a great guilty pleasure. The rest of the songs are okay. I prefer AOA (that album is blissfully weird and a slow burn pleasure. Quirky, trippy, 2001- A Space Odyssey like vibe, but it is also poetic, moving and even personal.)

I really don't care much for this one. It's okay I guess. Seems like a one off diversion. There are some remixes of Art Official tracks, most of it comes across like an overblown parody of modern pop music and EDM cliches. I always get the feeling it was like a riff or a spoof on that theme. It's like the turd in the punchbowl between two killer releases.
Granted, 1000 X's & O's and June are pretty solid.
Phase Two however, holy mackrel, now we're talking... That one is a masterwork in my opinion. Bob... Ain't dat a bitch? | |

I really like Hardrocklover, 1000 X's & O's and June but the rest is hit n miss to me. . Some tracks go from the sublime to the ridiculous or vice versa. Like This Could Be Us - the first half sounds comical with the stutters and sound effects but I like the guitar and bass on second half. | |

Does anyone know the exact connection between these two titles and the "hit and run" shows he did around the Parade era? Thanks. | |

Terrible album, I hasn't grown on me at all  1000 X's & O's is my favourite and the best song on HnR1Welcome 2 The Dawn | |

Like A Mack is the worst song he ever released. A billion times worse than jughead | |

I was at PP for the release party for this album and remember being very underwhelmed. It's grown on me somewhat, but definitely not a favorite. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

I agree it’s sort of a “leftovers” album - but it certainly has a handful of gems. Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife.

Can't believe people who say it's actually a bad/terrible album! really? I've been buying his albums on release day since the early 80s and I always like to remember the initial feeling I get rather than pick out the tracks and Phase 1 had a real classic Prince album feel IMO.
The production by Josh was good and THis could be Us was a leve above the original, June is a proper Prince classic - sounds so Prince but like nothing else he's done and you can feel his emotion.
Overall a really good album and so glad glad this and Phase 2 were his last two gifts to us | |
