I just thought I'd point this out.

I don't like anything I've heard from Musicology so far, but we are getting a new album from one of our favourite artists.

At least he's still releasing music, I think maybe some of us fans, myself included have taken this for granted so far - think, at least he's still making music - even if it's not upto the standard we know he can pull off, at least he's still recording and making an impact

I really cant wait 2 hear this album, i just love hearing new music.

Ok if it aint great, i wont be 2 bothered, i will still listen 2 it, im sure there are a few good track on this album.

Have u heard Musicology yet Andy? The single I mean... Imho it's fonkay.

Prince has been talking a lot about this album, and how "the music comes first"... so hopefully im anticipated a great album.

I wonder when it'll get to Denmark?

Can't say I'm too excited. I haven't even bought News, yet. (I'm not really into instrumental music unless it's by John Williams and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra to accompany a gripping sci-fi flick.)

But I am curious about what he has to say in his lyrics at this point in his career, where he seems intent on making a comeback, so I assume I'll be getting Musicology once it's in stores.

As for whether it charts or not, I don't particularly care. If Prince wants a comeback, then I'll be happy for him if it does chart. But considering that the '80s are all the fashion - certainly here in Europe - I have a feeling a remastered Purple Rain with bonus material stands a better chance of putting him back on top. I honestly think Electric Intercourse would stand a better chance at reaching the charts than the song Musicology.

Anyways, I recently acquired the bootleg Vavoom! containing some of Prince's NPGMC releases and wasn't too impressed by the contents, except for the track Vavoom which I think could have been a chart topper simply because it is extremely catchy - something people can sing along to. So, as usual, I'm kinda baffled by a Prince decision. If he really wants a comeback, why release Musicology when he could've put Vavoom on the album and released that as the first single?

I'm a Prince fan 2, but I can't say I'll buy the Musicology CD if it sounds like the single.

I can't support music I don't like, although I still like the musician.

Prince needs to make better music, sorry.

Musicology is growing on me with every listen
Reflection I loved from the moment I heard it
What do u want me to do ? is an ok track
Call my name from what ive heard of it sound cool
so this album if it is anything like the tracks ive heard up 2 yet yhen I for one cant wait

Funny, everything I've heard makes me feel like this'll be best one since "The Truth" at least. None of it feels like he's stretching for a hit single (or preaching at us), and most importantly, he seems back in touch with 2 of his best traits--humor and sex.
