PrintableAs a lover of 'N.E.W.S.' the only thing worse than fans de-facto putting it in their bottom 5 with the other instrumental records is instead taking it out of contention entirely and having it ride the bench because it's not worthy of being considered a Prince album "proper".

[Edited 6/4/25 3:52am] To be honest, I'm guilty of falling into that category of not considering it a "proper" album. If I did, I'd have it right down the bottom with the other instrumental albums. I'm just not into karaoke versions  | |

I guess there are no Only Fools & Horses fans on the org because my "karaoke version" reference seems to have gone right over people's heads | |

Never watched an episode, but I guess I should. |

But getting back to the idea of "Prinstrumentals", they do nothing for me. I can appreciate the skill level involved and I can hear that it's all very technically impressive. But I just don't like listening to it. Same thing with acapellas. It feels like I'm only getting half a song. I guess I've been conditioned to listening to more traditional, pop music stuff and that's just how it is. | |

1. Xpectation Admittedly it's been awhile since I've heard this one, but I found it incredibly boring and if there were songs I liked they dragged on too long and got boring by the end. Boring is the worst thing music can be if you ask me.
2. The Slaughterhouse The only case where I skipped songs on my initial listen of the album. Blech
3. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic 4. Chaos and Disorder 5. 20Ten 6. Old Friends 4 Sale 7. HitnRun Phase One 8. N.E.W.S 9. The Truth 10. Planet Earth
Of all of these though I'd still say at the very least I enjoy most of them to some degree | |

Nope. The closest I ever get is when a song as a really long intro . I suppose there are one or two exceptions though, to be fair. I have a few tracks from videogame soundtracks burned to a few CDs that I listen to in the car. And some of those are instrumentals. But generally speaking, I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to instrumentals. Especially jazzy kind of stuff. Miles Davis and all that. It's just not my cup of tea. | |

11. Sign O The Times - just never got into the album proper even though there are outstanding tracks on it. And definitely love love the Special Edition

The loudest people are quite often wrong.
However, there was nohing "loud" nor "wrong" about what I wrote. |
