what should I expect? I have everything from For You (1978) to Come (1994).

Take the weekend off and enjoy! At first u will probably get right in2 it and in a year you will go back 2 the prince of old

Perhaps this can be useful? Maybe not.

I really hated this album at the time. His Emancipation sounded like r'n b lite shite to me. Too many synths too many lame beats blah blah bland. The booklet stinks and the artwork is cheesy. I'm not baiting this WAS my opinion.

It grew on me though. It's not an album that I reach for often but I like about half of it now. I hope you paid about $5 for it because it lives in the bargain bins locally.

You'll have fun compiling a killer single 12 track album from the triple. I did.

cd#2 is classic Pgenius.

all a matter of personal taste some people here love it/like it...others think its garbage/or only has some good songs.

Well summed up Christopher.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

im guessing you like it. sorta?

Christopher said:

What Emancipation? Not really. A lot of 1/2 baked cookies on it. I think it could easily have been edited down 2 a single album.

JDINTERACTIVE said:

id say i like some from each disc...i mean we could have without some of those songs..apart from that its not so bad.

Christopher said:

So if U could edit it down 2 an album of say 10 tracks, what would U have on it?

Curious Child!? At the expense of 'Slave'?

JDINTERACTIVE said:

Um yes...

Christopher said:

Ur a bigger fool than I thought.

When I first bought it (and I did leave it till last) I wasn't impressed. I thought it could easily be edited down to a single album.

A few plays later (admittedly, a few months later) I changed my mind and decided it should be a double.

Eventualy, I realised the funky little fucker had been right all along - it is a triple album. It just took me a few listens and because it was so long it was a long time before I gave it the right amount of listens.

I used to poo-poo Chaos & Disorder when I first got it too, but HEY that's another thread!
