Really, In my opinion Running Game is better and musically more interesting than Welcome 2 America (not a real song and a bit repetative and boring) and Hot Summer ( bland , light breazy pop) combined. I am not saying it is the best song of the album. But in the top five for sure. It is stuck in my head. Like beginning endlessly was for me on the 20ten album. Also the second song of the album

I think the weakest track is "Rin tin tin" Something doesn't gel well...like there is something missing Not a horrible track by any means just the weakest on the album and yes I even like Hot summer better One thing I love about Prince...if I can borrow a line from Forrest Gump."Life is a like a box of chocolates,you never know what your gonna get".Same thing with Prince,you never know what kind of album your gonna get,funk,pop,rock,jazz,a Jehovah witness album,a political album,a album of him chasing the charts sounding like current pop.He is truly one of a kind. I am still enjoying the album.Suppose to get my official deluxe set tomorrow in the mail For those who already have it,how great is the Blu-ray?? | |

It's on the streaming  . Same popping sounds in Stand Up. Been singing it all day, a bit disappointed about that, but it's still a bop, me thinks. Album is fire, welcome 2 more stuff like this.For all time I am with you, you are with me. | |

Lotusflow3r does it better, the music just doesn't resonate as well as I'd like. My opinion may change however and I am happy with all the press he's getting. Excited to see the DVD ⚡  | |

Damn sad that “the noises” are there. Gutted-Gate the sequel. The album is too good to have been lazily sourced from an old and slightly damaged CDR. Prince deserves better than that and so do we. "That's when stars collide. When there's space for what u want, and ur heart is open wide." | |

This morning I get to experience a feeling that I have been missing way to long: Listening to a fresh album from my favourite artist. Reading the lyrics, enjoying the music. That is a fantastic feeling and a day to remember. And I think the Estate did a great job promoting it. there are reviews everywhere and even friends that don‘t listen to Prince much have been texting me in the last days to inform me that there is a new album coming out (as of I didn‘t know  )See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star... |

As an Album, I actually think it’s flow is pretty great and I much prefer it over 20Ten. However, the sound quality at times is trash and some songs don’t sound complete. Pleasantly surprised! Keenmeister |

Just played Stand Up and Be Strong through my speaker system - those clicks 😳 like honestly… where’s the quality control? Keenmeister |

now we just wait for the usual apologists to tell us we're being unreasonable and negative and bitter for having legitimate complaints about serious audio quality control issues Hard to believe I've been on the org for over 25 years now! |

FunkyStrange said: now we just wait for the usual apologists to tell us we're being unreasonable and negative and bitter for having legitimate complaints about serious audio quality control issues I'm not sure if I fall into that category of "usual apologist" but I still don't hear anything wrong with the sound on Stand Up And B Strong. Other than the song itself being fucking awful, that is. Though I must admit, I've not listened to it all that much so maybe on repeated listens, I'd hear these issues. But luckily for me, I hate that song so I won't be listening to it much  | |

I find the second half, starting with Check the Record, much stronger than the first half. Highlights for me are Check the Record and the insane harpsichord solo on Rin Tin Tin. And good to hear proper sexy Prince on When She Comes. Just wish in general that the production was crazier - there's potential for a full-on psychedellic Funkadelic/Eryka Badu record here. PIPS! Eurgh... |

Tell you what, I love this album now, nothing negative from me, not EVER on a new release Cos I can tell you one thing, getting even one album is better than nothing at all. Yes, grateful....imagine if it stopped right now, then there would be moaning | |
