Yeah Emancipation is the bomb. Only problem is that the album is too long. It should have been a single album.
My fave tracks are:
Sleep around
Dadadada
My computer
The love we make
Style
We gets up
Emancipation
One of us (although I'm not religious at all)
Get yo groove on
The jam of the year

Ahhh, finally some luuurve for my first ever Prince experience. First album I ever bought, and everyone talks trash about it. Shame! lol

Mr Happy
Face Down
Emale
Jam of the Year
Emancipation.


There's some brilliance interspersed with some tripe, but overall I believe the good outweighs the bad.

I think the main problem with Emancipation is its consistency

Everytime a good song or 2 goes by a 'Damned If eye Do' or 'Da,Da,Da' gets thrown in
and your left with an album that doesn't flow too well

which is a shame really 'cause the majority of the songs are very good,
and a great double album coulda easily been made out of the most impressive tracks


fave tracks:

Right Back Here In My Arms
White Mansion
In This Bed eye Scream
Soul Sanctuary
Dreamin' About U
Joint 2 Joint
Saviour
The Love We Make
pray love is god, god is love, girls and boys love god above pray

I don't know how anyone can say an album/cd is too long shrug, but I do think there were a few songs that we could've done without. On the whole, I really enjoy all 3 cds.

Better a good thief than a lame producer.

For me it's his second best album of the 90's. I've always loved it. There are a few songs that I don't like very much (We Gets Up, Damned If I Do, Mr Happy, The Human Body, Da Da Da, One Of Us) but the majority puts me on cloud9.

Hello Sweets, I've been suffering with post-drinking blues but I'm feeling okay now. How you doing?

Some great songs are on it, but its a terrible production. All these synths and drum computers take the life from the songs. I wish he would have recorded it with REAL instruments like TRC. Then I could actually listen to it.
