I Like Life O' The Party.I didn't want to say it was my least favorite but that was the question, I think that the album is seriously catchy & the sequencing of the tracks is perfect.

Anyway, Musicology gets a BIG thumbs up, keep bringing music to the masses Prince, even though the world doesn't know it, they've really missed ya!

What has been your reaction to Musicology?

At first I liked it because it was Prince. Then I played it again and again and still liked it. Once I got used to it, I realized it sucked bad. It is just a cheesy record hands down.

What is your favorite song so far?

My favorite song is the song I play before or after I play this cd.

What is the song you dislike the most?

Most of them.

Which songs would you replace on the album?

All of them and would remix Musicology and Life of the Party to make them sound more real and less like studio songs.

Which songs do you think might grow on you?

None

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?

Only if a bill is included inside all the free copies of the cd given out at the shows.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?

N.E.W.S, Rainbow Children

Nothing ground-breaking, but a good PRINCE album all the same.

What is your favorite song so far?
If Eye Was The Man In Ur Life - In fact, The Marrying Kind, IEWTMIUL & On The Couch seem 2 work really well 2gether as a suite...intentional u think?

What is the song you dislike the most?
Not 2 keen on Life o' The Party, but it's better than Wedding Feast, so it's ok in my book giggle
Also, some of the cheesy keyboard stabs across the album are a little overwrought - sometimes less IS more Prince!

Which songs would you replace on the album?
The above - maybe with 'Silicon' or 'Splash' - actually, 'Splash' would have worked wonderfully.

Which songs do you think might grow on you?
I didnt really like Cinnamon Girl at 1st, but a few listens in and I was singing along! big grin

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?
4 a short time, unsure about number one, but hey - it's a possibility.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?
The Rainbow Children, but I had 2 work at it. But that's ok 2 - some of His best work has been the stuff that's taken time 2 digest...

Strongest track on the album crying out 4 a single release:
A Million Days. nod

Overall: 7 out of 10, and happy! music

What has been your reaction to Musicology?

I was really pleased.

What is your favorite song so far?

eye'm sure that eye'm in the minority here: What Do U Want Me 2 Do? It sounds like a SOTT track. Linn machine = old-school flavor = smile on my face! biggrin

What is the song you dislike the most?

eye don't dislike any of the songs; this is such a unique album! Every song on here sounds like it could fit on a classic Prince album. "A Million Days" reminds me of the Grafitti Bridge era, "The Marrying Kind" reminds me of the Choas and Disorder album, "Life 'o' the Party" = Newpower Soul, etc. So cool!

Which songs would you replace on the album?

eye would replace the studio version of "Musicology" with the live per4mance he did on Leno; the Leno version was funky, the studio cut is a bit flat.

Which songs do you think might grow on you?

Every time eye listen 2 it, each individual song just gets better and better.

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?

No, it's 2 unique 2 b accepted by the mainstream public. The title track and "Call My Name" should both do well as singles, tho.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed?

Musicology. eye would appreciate it if some of u would orgNote me so we can discuss this album at length. Supernova, Boris, DavidEye, NWF, BinaryJustin, and others please drop me a line! Thanks.

What has been your reaction to Musicology?
Well, we all like different things about Princes music so we have different expectations. In Musicology I find prince borrowing from himself more than ever!
Most of us diehard prince experts have most of his work, so we'll can spot the similarities. This CD does not sound created from inspiration it sounds forced and lacks the explosiveness we expect from Prince much like the Truth lacked inspiration as in both cases there are exceptions. Prince is talented enough that even when his qualities fail him his talent pulls through. This is the case with MUSICOLOGY.

Here are the similarities
-Musicology is Rock-n-roll is alive
Call my name is a vocal version of either Xcogitate or a track from the news
(I know I've heard it)
Cinnamon Girl is Vava Voom
Million days is 17 days

What is your favorite song so far?
Call my Name & On the couch


What is the song you dislike the most?
I don't dislike any of the songs I'm disappointed in:ILLusion,C,P & C,
Life of the Party (every time he has a song with this type of title it's lifeless
Positivity, Jam of the year, I rock there 4 I am, failed to deliver the punch)

Which songs would you replace on the album?
I would change Cinnamon Girl to a falsetto vocal
and remove I,C,P &C and Life of the party

Which songs do you think might grow on you?
Cinnamon Girl

Do you think Musicology will be a chart-topper?
Not because it's a ground breaking Prince CD, but because it's his turn again.

What is the last Prince album you actually enjoyed
I love One Night Alone! It's sincere personal and eloquent
prince at his simplest and best.
We all want a big hit again because
we want to relive the Hysteria & Pandemonium we experienced
when Purple Rain was Hot. Actually, he doesn't care if it happens again or not.

THE RAINBOW CHILDREN (haven't heard all albums yet...)

On my very first listen, 'Musicology', 'Illusion, Coma, Pimp & Circumstance', 'The Marrying Kind', 'Dear Mr. Man' & 'Reflection' REALLY moved me, but I still have it on rewind right now & each song grows on me (even more) the more I play the CD, so that says a whole lot to me!!! After hearing 'Musicology' the first time, I had a feeling this was going to be my next favorite album & so far I'm right!!!

Loaded, negative question. I've enjoyed every last one of them. Only a non-musician would find any Prince album un-enjoyable, because they don't know what they're listening for. P, you are and always will be, in total control. Teach on, Teacher. smile
