My 2 cents on Musicology

I know I hated on the song "Musicology" being a lead single, I still think it was a horrible choice, but the album overall is not that bad.

I'll get the negative points out first. The song Life O The Party is just plain garbage. It's on the same level as Jughead in my opinion. (well maybe not that bad but close)

I love "A Million Day's" and "Cinamon Girl". Both have a real pop feel to it. I'm still a big fan of "What Do U Want me 2 Do" and I'm convinced this would be HUGE on R&B Radio.
"Illusion Coma Pimp" is kinda funky, not quite "Irresistible Bitch" but funky nonetheless.
"Call My Name" is the standard Prince ballad, pretty cool, but "On The Couch" is better by far. I love the horns here and I'm definately feeling it.

"The Marring Kind" and "Dear Mr. Man" are both filler by Prince standards. If anyone else did these tracks folks would be flippin' but we all expect more from Prince.

Overall a decent CD, not his top 5 but a far cry better than NPS and probably a tad bit better than Rave.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents, I hope the album does well. I still contend with the right single this album could be a smash, let's hope he remixes the single "Musicology" and I'm curious what the orgers think should be the next single. (Because I"m tired of Musicology already)

My vote would be "A Million Days" or "What Do U Want Me 2 Do"

Thanks for reading, Taurus.
