Open ur ears, man.
The only problem is "Million Days".

Pseudo-emotional, kitschy shit.

I have to respectfully disagree with you on that. "A Million Days" is my favorite track off the CD.

I'm not diggin "Life of the Party" much, in my opinion, it's the weakest track off the CD. It reminds me of a track off the "New Power Soul" CD with the horn arrangement and all.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Yeah, it's pretty awful.

"Life O The Party" is to Musicology

as

"We Gets Up" is to Emancipation

I agree. I hate both. Stop with the party anthems, they don't work.

its a funky track, and there aint enough on this album.

skip button is pressed on million days and on the couch.
musicology the single is pretty crap too, theres nothing there really, just a vehicle to get his old skool message across.

I can honestly say, I've never seen a Prince album with such a varied reaction on the individual songs. With albums like TRC, folks either loved or hated the whole thing. This disc is really getting all sorts of reactions on each track. Some folks site "Cinnamon Girl" or "A Million Days" as the weakest track. To me, WDWM2D? is the worst song, but so many people love it! Its crazy, but its kinda cool.

As for my thoughts on "Life O' The Party", at first I didn't care for it, but the more I listen the more I like it. Its almost worth the whole thing for the "...all U Purple hippies bang yo heads on the one" bit.

This is getting scary..for different reasons
Oh my, oh my.

I listen to 'Life O the Party' way more than ICP&C, this gets me grooving & movin, both songs do, but most people here 'LOTP' for the first time and like it already, although some people have a problem with it around here...???...

Agreed.

The problem begins with the Opening line "So, you're having a party. Well, bully for you! "

Bully for you?

That is so lame, it's embarassing.

I cringe and it's difficult to listen after that.

The rest of the lyrics are almost as bad. Groove be damned, the lyrics suck.



Er...the lyrics in the cover say it's "goody for you"

Me too! This is one of those songs that grows on you. I find this is one of the songs that stays in my head and I find myself singing Candy's part of the song. It's not bad to me and I hope I hear it live later this month. Goodie 4 me!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

I like it - except for the "Poom Poom" all the way through.

Does that come through live ? Maybe that's why it's been said it "sounds better in concert than recorded" ?
