...awright. i had typed up my review of the album once, but it didn't go through cuz i got an error message. here's to hopin it goes through this time.

WARNING: if you are gonna wait till the album comes out in a few weeks and don't wanna be surprised by anything, or are currently in a state of "likeomgthealbumSUX!!!111oneone!!11", then DO NOT read past this warning message. i mean it, NO PEEKING AT MY REVIEW! resist the urge...and stuff.











...so you wish to know what i think of musicology, hm? well, here goes. track by track:

musicology: more than likely you know how this sounds.

illusion, coma, pimp & circumstance: best. song title. ev-errrrr. that, and this is a really nice narrative/story-type cut. that, and it's kinna humorous. i currently have a quote from this song as my signature, cuz it has me crackin up.

a million days: if "dolphin" and "little red corvette" went to a hotel and had a quickie, this song would be the offspring of that encounter.

life o' the party: the music/beat in this song annoys me to death, ya'll. lyrically, it's okay.

call my name: this is some babymakin/quiet storm stuff here. it ain't within the league of say, "adore" or "do me, baby", but it holds its own.

cinnamon girl: another "dolphin"-esque track.

what do u want me 2 do?: most of ya'll may be familiar with this one, thanx to the npgmc and uh, other means.

the marrying kind: ain't too familiar with this cut yet, 'cept for the fact that it segues flawlessly into...

if eye was the man in ur life: ...which i'm not familiar with yet, either. i've listened to this album 1½ times. give me time and i'll come back and talk about these two a bit mo'

on the couch: ladies, you'll dig this one. ya'll shoulda heard it live last night...had me grinnin at both ends.

dear mr. man: very thought-provoking track. it's like a combination of 90% "mercy mercy me (the ecology)" or "inner city blues" by marvin gaye, and 10% "partyup", in the effect that it's like a protest/ills-of-the-world kinda song.

reflection: ya'll should know about this one, too.


highlights: overall, the album sounds very nice. don't matter what era you like the most, there's a bit of sumfin for damn near everybody on here. this album is definitely another "grower", for those of ya'll who need to spin an album more than once.

lowlights: a lot of the songs have beats/music that are either annoying or uninspired, like prince is tryin his damndest to be on b-96 or sum chit. that, and his usage of some new-skool slang makes me kinna cringe--like if i were talkin to an older relative and they decide to drop the "crunk" bomb in mid-conversation, y'know. it's like "wha?"


overall (1 to 10 stars): ½

imo, for those of you who are hoping for a hit song to come off of this album, think again cuz it ain't happenin--"call my name" might have a chance at sumfin, but i dunno. this is all just my opinion here, so don't read into it all extra-close.

...and that's my about it all.

Great review. And i have added confidence in saying that because it's very similar to my first review - great minds think alike, and all

Except...i never would've guessed that after what appeared to be quite a complimentary review it only merited 4 an a half stars out of 10.

Oh yeah, and i love that "boy i was fine back in the day!" Always makes me smile.

you should know by now how picky i am when it comes to p's newer stuff.

Well, I will say there are at least two potential hits on this album. Namely, A Million Days and What Do You Want Me 2 Do? (on R&B radio). Will they be hits? I doubt it. But we'll see how Sony pushes this to the public and radio.

Nice Review Yes, this album pretty much sucks...

Damn haters!

thank u

Oh dear i only have heard the new cd and i already can't control myself...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

the part that had me cringing was near the end of the simulcast where he went "AWWW YEAH!"... ugh... like they weren't showing him enough love or something

Dansa, Dirty Mind review: (1-10 stars) 3 stars.
