What has been your reaction to Musicology?
- I was really pleased. What is your favorite song so far? I'm really really diggin' "The Marrying Kind/If Eye was The Man in UR Life". The groove is irresistable! What is the song you dislike the most? Probably "What Do U Want Me 2 Do?". It's just bland to me. Which songs would you replace on the album? See above. I'd replace it with "extra lovable" 
Which songs do you think might grow on you? "On the Couch" and "Dear Mr. Man" Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? Maybe. I feel this is Prince's best chance to try to be a "chart-topper". Its commercially viable- yet non-format friendly. Plus, it just plain fukkin' rocks! If he doesn't connect with this album, he never will. What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?[/quote] This one. now i know what this is all about. now i know exactly what i am. | |

What has been your reaction to Musicology? [i]- I was really pleased. I can hear the potential of more than a few songs to be turned inside out live. What is your favorite song so far? Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance. It has that beat, it has the groovy lyrics. Then Life O' The Party for the fun groove. Dear Mr Man is instant Prince classic, ain't it? It will be the overall fave song for sure. And then Reflection ("I was thinking about my..... mother"... that made me cry like a baby, y'all, after just having lost my mother. Makes me cry while I type this, damnit.) What is the song you dislike the most? A Million Days. Cuz I wanna sing 3 Chains O'Gold or Strays O' The World whenever I hear that easy rock guitar. Which songs would you replace on the album? The afore mentioned Million Days. The Marrying Kind. And some songs, like If  Was The Man In Ur Life, have that rock guitar again, even some tired breaks, but at least have fun vocals.
Which songs do you think might grow on you? If he cranks up the organ on On The Couch live, I might be tempted to play it more often. It's a bit bland to my taste. Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? I am afraid not. It will be moderately played, as Prince at least gives it loads of promo attention. I think Musicology LIVE, with them Controversy's and D.M.S.R.'s and I Feel For You's will make the public go buy him again. But then again, a good promo of Dear Mr Man and Life O' The Party might take this album a long way. What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed? Aw, that´s mean! Honest? The live recording of Bataclan performance. Official? Aw man! CAUGHT! The Gold Experience. Alas. It had the spunk so many of his albums since missed. TRC I liked music wise, but made me sad lyricwise. Again, honest? I really like some cuts on this album. Dear Mr Man is a Prince classic. Musicology is fun, but won't stand the test of time, as I keep humming HOT PANTS during the song. Now I am off playing Controversy live again... | |

Well I did suggest a Musicology Forum over at "the org" forum but no-one saw the sense of that at the time!
What has been your reaction to Musicology? - Sheer joy and and exhilaration. What is your favorite song so far? Dear Mr. Man. - the whole feel of it and the lyrical content What is the song you dislike the most? Life of the Party - too many Jughead similarities for me! Which songs would you replace on the album? Life of the Party. Plus make the rest longer. Which songs do you think might grow on you? A Million Days Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? No. But if he plays "the game" right, the follow up will. I see Musicology as being "1999" to next years "Purple Rain" (whatever that might be). What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?

What has been your reaction to Musicology?
- It was ok. What is your favorite song so far? Cinnamon Girl, Dear Mr Man , A million days What is the song you dislike the most? Illusion, pimp etc Which songs would you replace on the album? Illusion, pimp etc Which songs do you think might grow on you? um, it's taken 10 listens to like the ones i do, so i suspect i'll only like them more from now on.. Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? sadly no.. I've come to almost all prince's music retrospectively, and it took me at least 10 listens to feel this album, and i'd consider myself a fan of every other album (yes, even NPS, which i happen to think is one of his better ones).. so i doubt anyone new to Prince would be attracted by this, though i do concede that almost every one of the songs is a pastiche of at least two of his older tracks.. It's what 'Love actually' is to all previous richard curtis films.

What has been your reaction to Musicology?
- Sheer joy and and exhilaration. What is your favorite song so far? I find myself singing 'Musicology' all day long in my head and now Cinamon Girl is slowly creeping in. What is the song you dislike the most? 'Life Of The Party' SHould have stayed in with the other New Power Soul outtakes. THe only thing that redeems this song is the break where he talks about himself never having a nosejob. Funny s*%! Which songs would you replace on the album? Life o the Party and um... that is all. I would have remade EXTRALOVEABLE, like he did with Tick Tick Bang for Graffitti Bridge. Which songs do you think might grow on you? On The Couch. And Call My Name has already started. I hated HATED What Do You Want Me 2 Do when I first heard it in Glam Slam, but now I looooove that song
Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? Definitely. People are ready for something new. I was in the club this last weekend here in L.A. --- club called IVAR-- and I found it hillarious that they still play the same tired shit that they have been playing in the club for the last ten years  -- 'Aint No Fun', 'How Do You Want It', 'Up In The Club'  and of course the new stuff that sounds just like the aforementioned songs: 'Tipsy', 'Yeah', and something by the Neptunes. C'mon! I felt like going out to my car, getting my copy of 'Musicology' and telling the DJ, "Put it on track one bitch!" IT's time and I think it can definitely go number one.

What has been your reaction to Musicology?
- I was really pleased. What is your favorite song so far? Probably Reflection. I like the title track a lot as well. I,C,P,C keeps getting stuck in my head. . .like it, but wouldn't say it's a "great" song. A Million Days has one line in it that makes me adore the song (the suitcase one). What is the song you dislike the most? Cinnamon Girl. Blech. Which songs would you replace on the album? Cinnamon Girl, The Marrying Kind, IIWTMIYL Which songs do you think might grow on you? WDYWM2DG. Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? If he releases a good video with a couple of songs, yeah. I would suggest I,C,P,C ('cause it's catchy) and Mr. Man. In fact, though it may seem an odd choice, I think Mr. Man is the single on this album. Hard to say why, I can just see it connecting. Again, he must make good videos if he wants to be commercial. Musicology is a good start. What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed? I've enjoyed them all, but The Truth is the last one that I liked and still listen to. Oh wait, I forgot about ONA. I love that album. ONA.

STANDARD MUSICOLOGY QUESTIONNAIRE
The Powers that Be have let it known that they are not happy with the proliferation of aimless, repetitive musicology threads that force busy Orgers to visit a thousand pages to have an idea of everyone's opinions and thoughts. I have therefore taken it upon myself to make your input available at one handy location. We want to know what you think and the Org is such a slow loader these days, so be a peach and answer the following questions. What has been your reaction to Musicology? - I was really pleased. What is your favorite song so far? A Million Days What is the song you dislike the most? Cinnamon Gril Which songs would you replace on the album? Album stands on its own with all the songs. I always find one or two that don't groove me but really do someone else. Which songs do you think might grow on you? On the Couch, Call my Name...always the ballads for me. Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper? What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed? The Rainbow Childrean Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?
Missed this one...only if it gets retailed right. A DVD of the LA concert I think will get all that saw it to buy the album again as they already know musicology as an album at least decent to buy. Christian Zombie Vampires | |
