Musicology is classic Prince

I don't like Rave at all, I hate New Power Soul, I like News but i never listens to it.

Musicology is a great album, all the songs are better than musicology and what you want em to do. It's not as complex as TRC but it'sa great prince album, i liked it very much, some classics here

Nice!! Could you give a little more of detail? Is it more funk, r&b, pop or rock? Is it a ballad-packed cd or it is a groove-filled album?

Thank you!

All songs are great ALL, the weakest tracks are Musicology and what you want me to do.

The marrykind is great, it has some kinda of hapsichord over guitar riffs and it , illusion pimp and circustanec is great too, pimprag old funky. call my name is insatiable 2, very princely ballad, a million days have great guitar, it's kinda better than most his guitar ballad songs, it has a killer solo and a killer scream.

The almbum is very funky, has some great guitar moments, and some beautiful ballads, what more can you ask? It's not experimental at all, it's classic prince, it's not jazzy and has some interesting effects

Thanks for the info. I can't wait to get my copy!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

The album sounds very programmed on some tracks.

Musicology - y'all know about already.

Illusion... - This is a stripped down, programmed sound a la silicon (but better). It's damn cool.

A million days - potential single. Very dolphin-esque. Good, straight guitar pop.

Life o the party. - Welcome to the Slaughterhouse style beat. The weakest track by a mile. Sounds like Prince was just sitting there pressing buttons at a mixing desk. "Think i'll add a triangle here." No melody - just a beat really.

Call my name. - Great ballad. Sounds much better in the flesh than that radio show excerpt. D'Angelo Voodoo feel. And there ain't nothing wrong with that.

Cinnamon Girl - live drums, another guitar pop song. Even more like Dolphin than A Million Days. In fact, this has got Single written all over it.

What do you want me to do. - Stand out track. Very soulful feel. Another potential single. Chilled out, programmed beats, smattering of piano, cool bassline, nice vocals.

The Marrying kind - heavier guitars, another "pop" song. Pretty good, but no discernable melody, really. Solid but not great.

If eye was the man - Synth-led track. Good vibe. Solid, but no single.

On the couch. - Stand out track. Old school, and i mean REAL old school. Got the background organ style. Falsetto, beats and a smidgeon of guitar. Superb vocals. This is the track. I mean, THIS IS THE TRACK, people.

Dear Mr man. - Great beat, live-sounding beat. Synths again. Great baritone vocal - politics is the theme here. "Meek shall inherit the earth", pollution, ozone layer etc. Bit of horns but nicely used - in fact, i'm pleasantly surprised at the lack of OTT horns on the album.

Reflection - sounds better as a closing track, but y'all know this track.
