That's 'cause it's Dear Mr. Man...and a grade of "D" is a joke.
This it my favorite song on the CD.
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I thought about the newness of some of the tracks compared to how many have grown on me and no I don't think I was harsh on the new ones, thats because I graded not just on the fact that I liked the new music. Here's a few matters of enjoyment that I considered when grading.

smile Studio Recording
smile Song Composition
smile Creative Instrumental Licks and Sampling
smile Comparison to Previous Work/ Albums
smile Catchiness & Colorfulness of the Grooves
smile Lyrics & Vocal Arrangement
smile Excitement vs. Dullness
smile Fun
smile Boldness or Babble
smile Joy of Non Joy in Repetition
smile Freshness vs. In the Can

So what does everyone in the org think about these (here copy and paste)

Living proof...
Thats why Musicology is trully such a dud... no real chatter about the album.

Whenever a new album comes out. you hear tons of cheers and jeers about the tracks...
but this time around.. There is no buzz about this bore..
All we see is off the cuff posts over and over again from the same
ranting about how great this outdated flop is.. but no reasons why they think so.

I've spoken with dozens of Prince fans on the net (out of the org) and most confirm that
the entire album is a stinker. But at the same time.. the 2001 Music Club tracks (and ONA) get raves in comparison!
