Albums when he releases an album U have never heard B4 do U Like or (God 4bid diss Like it) RIGHT AWAY! ... or does it usually take time 2 grow on U ?? I notice that some albums he releases Have 2 Grow on me ... like Piano ONA was not great when I first heard it ... but at midnite while im on my computer with candles lit - Just 2 relax from life ... it is FANTASTIC and BEAUTIFUL 2 listen 2 ... many of Princes ALBUMS I listen cause it takes a different mood 2 enjoy ... same thing happened with come and Xpectation ... I LUV them when in the right mood ... i dunno why I asked this now so feel free 2 skip this one ...LOL HAHA AFTER U READ THIS FAR Huh? hehehe

All of the other things beore thatI liked, and in time, I grew to love them.

'89 till now = still tryin 2 warm up 2 stuff, but it ain't jivin.

Feeling you.

It was even this way for me during the 80s. I think just one reason is because although every album can't help but have some similarities, they're all different. He's not taking the same musical road map time after time. Even if you don't like what he's laying down, you can't honestly say this album is no different than that album, and that album is no different than that other one, and on and on...as with any artist with longevity there are some of the same themes, but all of his albums have different personalities.
