Looking forward to this one, MM's attempt at covers have been of a good effort in the past. Personal Jesus by Prince though wouldn't quite cut it for me, that song has a lot of edge and is not his style.

Co-Sign.....

I dread the day Prince makes an album that EWM likes.

sabaisabai said:

I don't. cuz he's right. I really really really really love this album but it is far from what Prince could be doing musically. Especially with that band.

He needs to release an album that will straight out scare the fuck out of most people because it's so musically wicked and fierce. I want to hear it too Evil....

Evil, I think we're being twinsies again

I think we could be triplets!!!!!
I completely agree. I would love another Prince album to kick my fucking ass!! I know, deep down somewhere in my being...he's capable of it...but I don't know. There is doubt. I don't want pop/hiphop or watered down funk...I want something original...something that moves me. But when he said "all thanks to Jehovah" in the HOF speech, I kinda lost all hope for that. He's not a badass anymore, he's not hungry...he's just a musician who feels he's paid his due. And rightfully so. (I guess)

But it still fucks with me.

EvilWhiteMale said:

Why do you think he is capable of better. He WAS capable of better when he was a younger man, but age has retarded his songwriting abilities. Well, he is still great live and he's given us more great music in the past than anyone else, so I've let him slide for a few years and for the future. I'll always be a loyal Prince fan, just based on what he did from 1978-1988. Everything else is just extra.

It's disappointing when a new album is released, and one thinks "Damn, what happened Prince?"

But gotta agree with you really, 1978-88
Everything else, just extra.

Nice outlook

Then how sad you're sticking around on a Prince fan sites after nearly 15 years of alleged total irrelevance.

The Beatles aren't still together, but do you see anything wrong with being on a Beatles forum?

Idiot

I'm not the one throwing personal insults at people just because they don't like the same pop songs as me.

EvilWhiteMale said:

my thoughts exactly (and i never agree with you). First, it sounds like a bootleg. Now I see why no studio wanted to touch it. I also see why he is touring with his 80's & 90's hits (again). Chocolate Invasion would have at least put him back on the map musically. What a waste of pomp and circumstance.

I don't agree with EWM's opinion on this album, or on many of the recent Prince releases. That having been said, I just don't get why folks have to start calling him an "idiot" because he isn't following along with the majority here. I got a taste of this recently, when I was called names, and told my opinion was worthless because I disliked D'Angelo's "Voodoo". Why is it that people can't debate these points without silly name calling? EWM and I have debated MANY times on here, and we rarely agree when it comes to Prince, yet we've always had a mutual respect for one another. His opinion is just as valid as anyone who praises "Musicology", and he at least backs up his opinion with proper analysis. Many folks just get on here and say "it sucks" or "its the greatest recording ever", but don't present any valid points to back up these statements. Personally, I'd rather have someone who presents an honest opinion, with criticisms to back it, than have someone who blindly dismisses or loves something.

JediMaster said:

Exactly, I respect the guy enough cause he actually takes the time to add substance to his statements.

I'd rather have EWM post intelligently about why he doesn't like Prince's new music than have to read another mindless rant from Zelaira.

HiinEnkelte said:

Sure, I'll admit it. I'm always honest in my posts. But all it takes is one listen for me to decide if it may grow on me or not. So far I've given ech song about 3 listens and I know there's not gonna be any growth. It's not the style of music I like, so I'm not gonna get into it.

Unfortunately that's true.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Well you're absolutely right. I know Prince said he doesn't care to shock people anymore, but that's kind of a dumb attitude. He doesn't have to be sexually provocative or anything, but the music should be a kick to the teeth and make people say "Holy Shit!! Prince can do that?"

What is the MM cover of "Personal Jesus" from? A soundtrack or new album? I'd really like to hear this. He usually has a pretty cool take on his covers.

Did anyone hear the cover Jonny Cash did of this on his last album? I absolutely loved it!

RupertZ said:

I think he can do better cuz I see some good moments. I think the problem is his new belief system and his current taste in music. He wants to be all clean and holy, and play pussy jazz/funk crap. If he suddenly had a desire to play some real rock/pop stuff, I think he'd be okay. He could fuck that up too, but if his heart is really in it, it could be possible.

Romance1600 said:

Absolutely not, since that situation precludes pointlessly needling fans of recent material over and over and over and over -- just for the heck of it.

Be careful, agreeing with me could get you lynched around here.

JediMaster said:

Thanks Jedi. If everyone could debate the way you and I do, the Org would be a much nicer place. Unfortunately, the Org is filled with a bunch of $#@%$ers who are incapable of holding a real debate without getting personal. They're computers make them tough.
