What's the fuss over Musicology, it's not that great.The production quality is shitty, especially on A Million Days which is a decent song marred by sub standard instrumentation and crude production techniques. The title track is amusing for about 2 minutes and then starts to dwindle into stupidity it's just a dumb groove. The ballads are cheesy and sappy and the lyrics are just downright embarassing especially on Cinnamon Girl which could have been a decent song. It's really not quite that good. I don't see what the big deal is about. It's only selling because he's promoting it well but most of it is unlistenable. It's not a classic, it's trash. See what i'm sayin'?

Prince started that back in '97 I believe. He said fan is short for fanatic, and he didn't like that. So he came up with fam (short for family) so he could look like he cares about us. It's totally fuckin stupid, but what's even worse is when the real fanatics actually accept the title and call themselves fams.

First and foremost, "since the artist whom created the cd and worked with other very well and xceptional artists in fused with HEAVEN" you are not only slamming your opinion onto other musicans and others; who worked on such a "FINE" production" that has people talking about it all over the GLOBE, but you are testifying that you specifically feel "it should have been done better". Well... maybe you can step up to the plate and make YOUR OWN CD and let us all HAVE our opinions on how well YOUR GIVING IS, since your word here is pretty darn negated. I find it interesting that critics come out to analyze things when they don't even know what a "DORIAN, MIXOLODIAN, LOCRIAN and/or FRIGIAN mode is." I have been in a symphony for well over 12 years and it is my honest and UPMOST opinion and "musicology GRADUATE" that MUSICOLOGY is XCEPTIONAL to say the least and will stand around for a very long time even after I have left this amazing PLANET... we so choose to abuse instead of caress with love. SO "NO" i don't have blinders on in my heart to see what your saying. However, thank you for allowing me to xpell your negativity and bring forth some LIGHT on the SOUND in this thread". MUSICOLOGY is a TRUE "SEED" of pleasant and fortifying MUSIC for GENERATIONS TO COME.

Thank you GODBLISS

I see why you call yourself evilwhitemale. I like the fam idea. I believe he cares about anyone who loves his music. The fams kept him believing in himself when the rest of the world thought he had lost his creativity. Are you really a prince fan, honestly!!??? confused

WORD. EWM sometimes comes out a little too strong for my tastes but I agree that there's way too much dick riding going on. It's ok not to like a record, really it is. It does not mean you're a bad person, really it doesn't.

That's how you find out who the psychotic, dick sucking fams are. Just post something negative about Prince and watch them attack.

It works the other way around too. Say something nice about Prince and watch them haters attack. They might not be dick riding, but definitely taking it in the ass.

Yeah they're the ones who are so obsessed with "fams" they take it on themselves to cricize those who show P love everytime they get a chance. Like I said before Prince has his obsessed fans on this site and Prince's obsessed fans have people on this site that are obsessed with them! By the way EVM, no one is attacking khanada for his/her opinion. Khanada is being attacked for the disrespectful way in which she/he has chose to state that opinion. You too, are calling people here dick suckers what do you think that warrants, an ivitation to tea? If you dislike something fine, but disrespect is something totally different. Find more mature and eloquent ways to state your opinion without making everyone else that disagrees with you feel as if they should be on the defensive.

Too bad you didn't get the album. It's way better than you think -- at worst, it has two or three flawed tracks. Prince has the toughest job in the business having to come up with something that sounds "classic" after only two or three spins.

How bout we all try an experiment? Let's try not to attack the critics when they state an opinion, and see what happens. I bet you the debates will become more civil and respectful. If someone expresses they're dislike for something Prince does, they shouldn't be bombarded with attacks, but debated with in a cool manner. Any other way makes them look like obsessed fanatics who take Prince way to seriously. If you can't help turning a thread into a personal fiasco, then YOU'RE the one with the problem, not the critics.

Well, I can tell you what the fuss is about. Prince has put out a good, radio friendly record that most people on this board are happy with and trust me everyone on this board is not a fam that loves everything Prince does. Plenty of posters hated the TRC, News, Rave, and Emancipation.

Musicology kind of appeals to masses and that was the right thing for P to do at this time.

I also would like to point out that the average person does not give a rat's ass abut the production quality of cd . Most people buy CD's because they enjoy the music. Sony could promote this thing until the end of the time if the public did not like it no one would buy it.

You can use the Janet Jackson CD as a perfect example.

Try living in the real world. If you come to Prince fan site and state a negative opinion people are not going to like it. If you can't take the attacks don't post to this board.

In your case EWM I think you just like the attention. You have only expressed your dislike for Prince and his music 100 f**king times. It gets old real fast.

You crave it, that's for damn sure.

Can't you just admit you love to infuriate and skip the whining about getting what you're seeking?

I guess it is flattering that so many people here love to give me so much attention. Somehow, all the debates leave the topic and become about me. It's fascinating.

Bullshit! rolleyes You one of the primary people who resort to name calling and labeling once your words have written a check that your reasons can't cash. You hop on a thread, call something "shit" and start actin' like a bitch when somebody "tries" to give you a chance to express yourself. "Why are you stalking me?" "Why don't you just ignore me?" rolleyes Please quit frontin.
