Would You Buy This Album?

Okay... Hypothetically, would you buy this album?

01. Sleep Around
02. Scarlet Pussy
03. Diamonds & Pearls
04. Love 2 The 9s
05. The Most Beautiful Girl In The World (Mustang Mix)
06. The Jam Of The Year
07. Get Wild
08. Superfunkycalifragisexy
09. Insatiable
10. Le Grind
11. Somebody's Somebody

As individual songs, are any of them completely terrible? As an album, could you sit through this?

Get rid of "Diamonds and Pearls" (I can’t even listen to this song. It just rubs some people

the wrong way. Why not “Willing and Able” instead?) and "Jam of the Year" (Why?

Uninspired funk drivel. Want something from Emancipation how bout the more interesting and

original “Joint to Joint”) and maybe "Insatiable" (take “Adore” or “Scandalous”

over “Insatiable”)…all other songs are great.

Well, I don't know if they are all first-rate, but none of them are 'Jughead'.

Now... All those songs have the same vibe to me as the following songs:

01. Newpower Soul
02. Madsex
03. Until U're In My Arms Again
04. When U Love Somebody
05. Shoo-Bed-Ooh
06. Push It Up
07. Freaks On This Side
08. Come On
09. The One
10. Eye Like Funky Music
11. Wasted Kisses

I'm not saying they sound exactly the same or are better or worse, but they give me the same vibe. Some of the songs ARE better than the other songs I listed.

I still don't get why people hate the Newpower Soul album!!!

I was trying to capture the mood of the songs on Newpower Soul, using other songs. To prove a point. smile

NOPE! Oh so that’s how this post goes. A covert, under the rug, I’m trying to tell ya’ll that

NPS is really a good record, post. No way - IMO you're seriously off base here.

"Jam of the Year" vibe yes but "Le Grind" vibe? First of all “Le Grind” and “Jam of the

Year” have a totally different vibe. No two songs on NPS are as different because most

of the songs on NPS are as uninspired and unfunky as “Jam of the Year.” If you think

“Scarlet Pussy” “Le Grind” “Superfunky…” “Don’t sleep Around” are the equivalent or

are comparable to trash like “Freaks on this Side” “Push it Up” “Eye like Funky

Music”??? Well we just hear things differently.

It's a terrible album, but what can possibly be wrong with Superfunkycalifragisexy and Le Grind ...
Those two tracks are excellent tracks .. as is the complete Black Album
