A Million Days

What is the song you dislike the most?
What Do U Want Me 2 Do? ...sounds out of place to me on a album where a song that sounds out of place shouldn't sound out of place, if you know what I mean. I wasn't wild about it when it was released through the club, either.

Which songs would you replace on the album?
See answer above. Replace it with "U Want Me."

Which songs do you think might grow on you?
On The Couch. Already has grown on me after hearing it live in Dallas.

Reflection - But only because the acoustic version with Wendy was so lovely.

Cinnamon Girl. It sounds like a bad Fleetwood Mac B-Side.

Which songs do you think might grow on you?

If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?

The album - yes. I honestly believe it could hit No. 1 in the UK Album Chart. The single won't do as well if there's no exclusive track on there.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?

From beginning to end, 'Batman'.

obvioulsy these questions were made by someone who assumes we hate the album... or doesnt like it themselves...

What Do U Want Me 2 Do. I didn't like it that much when it first came out.

WDUWM2D. Maybe Reflection too. I like having it on the album, but it isn't a good final track, and having heard it a million times before makes it feel out of place.

Which songs do you think might grow on you?

ICPC, Dear Mr. Man, and Musicology already are.

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?

I dunno. My sister, whose Prince collection consists of Purple Rain, ATWIAD, Diamonds and Pearls, and The Hits 1 thought it was fantastic, so maybe the album will click with the casual Prince fan.

LOP

The Marrying kind has really grown on me. Wasn't big on this track but I'm coming around now.

On The Couch

Probably 'On The Couch'. It's OK, but I really don't think that it goes with the over-all flow of the album

Which songs do you think might grow on you?

Dear Mr. man (I actually like it musically, it's the overly political lyrics I have to get used too)

I think it'll do better than anything he's put out in the last 10 years, but I don't know if it'll chart very high

Given the creative distribution, officially, no. But I'm quite sure that isn't really what Prince is looking for.

The Rainbow Children

AnnaStesia said:

It's my opinion. I just don't care for it
And, unlike u, I don't presume to "officially deem" any song on the album "shite".

What has been your reaction to Musicology?
- I was fairly pleased.

What is your favorite song so far?
Dear Mr. Man, What do U want me 2 do and The Marrying Kind are quite special, but I'll have to go with Dear Mr. Man ultimately.

What is the song you dislike the most?
Life O' The Party. When you've written 1999, it's no longer a good idea to write a "party song".

Which songs would you replace on the album?
Life O the Party and, so far, A Million Days -- so many like this song and I just find it annoying. Cinnamon Girl is this close from being in this category, but is rescued by its thought-provoking lyrics.

Which songs do you think might grow on you?
Perhaps I'll grow to like If Eye was the Man in your life and A Million Days a bit more. I already like the former well enough. All tracks besides Life O' the Party and A Million Days sound great or at least decent. The slow jams and funk elements are right on.

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?
It depends on how much play the single and the video of Musicology get. Given the fact it doesn't seem to fit rdio formats, and taking into consideration the load of good press Prince is getting these days, I'd say the chances are about 50/50. It could happen, but there's still a lot of odds to beat.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?
Musically, it was TRC. Overall, I'd have to go back to TGE.

What has been your reaction to Musicology? - I was really pleased.

What is your favorite song so far? - can't decide. md, wdywmtd, icpc, m, lotp

What is the song you dislike the most? none. dislike none of them

Which songs would you replace on the album? none. not my album

Which songs do you think might grow on you? all, given time

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? - no, unfortunately clearchannel won't approve prince's innovative ways

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed? news

What has been your reaction to Musicology?
I was really pleased. REALLY REALLY pleased.

What is your favorite song so far?
If I Was The Man In Your Life. I can not stop listening to this song! It's too catchy; could be a hit like Maroon 5's "This Love."

What is the song you dislike the most?
Probably Life O' The Party. It's not awful like Jughead or anything, but it's my least favourite so far.

Which songs would you replace on the album?
None should be replaced, but some could use a little remixing ("Life O' The Party")

Which songs do you think might grow on you?
On The Couch is cool, and getting cooler the more I listen to it

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? I don't know about topping the charts, but it will definitely be his most successful album in many years. And unlike Rave and Gold, he's got positive publicity and a tour going. And unlike Emancipation, the label isn't likely to fold this time.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed? Musicology is honestly the best Prince record I've heard in some time...

What has been your reaction to Musicology?
Pleased.

What is your favorite song so far?
Dear Mr. Man

What is the song you dislike the most?
Million Days

Which songs would you replace on the album?
Million Days

Which songs do you think might grow on you?
Aside from Million Days, the only track that I did not immediately enjoy was Cinnamon Girl and while I doubt that this song will grow on me, it has got be my choice.

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?
That's tough. I sure hope so. The record is easy to listen to...maybe too easy.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?
Symbol. I respect TRC but I only "enjoy" a few songs.
