Musicology is better than WHICH Prince albums? Personally, I think it goes something like this. Musicology is a very good album, better than most of his stuff in fact, but not better than the greats like SOTT, Parade, Dirty Mind, 1999, Purple Rain, etc.
So in my opinion Musicology is better than the following: Graffiti Bridge For You Prince Kamasutra NEWS Xpectation Controversy Diamonds and Pearls Chaos and Disorder The Truth New Power Soul Rave In2/Un2 the Joy Fantastic One Nite Alone (studio) That's a lot of albums which aren't as good, so all in all I think Prince has done really well with this album and beaten a lot of his less inspired works. So what albums do you put beneath Musicology? . [This message was edited Sat May 22 21:14:14 2004 by mrdespues] | |

Jughead and Push ruin it for me. Otherwise I like it, but Musicology is better. | |

The Vault No way, one his better albums; better than Musicology. Most people just sleep on this one cause it was a contractual obligation album and ignore the great music. | |

Graffiti Bridge
Kamasutra NEWS Xpectation Diamonds and Pearls The Truth New Power Soul Rave In2/Un2 the Joy Fantastic RAINBOW CHILDREN "Prince," "For You," and "Controversy" are all, IMO, significantly better than "Musicology." All the praise that TRC and TGE get should, IMO, be redirected toward the much stronger, although apparently forgotten, records "For You" and "Prince." ego tripping out | |

So what albums do you put beneath Musicology? Totally agree with your list, Add to that Dirty Mind, Come, Rainbow Children, and Emancipation, possibly even the Gold Experience. I really think it's his best since SOTT. I do kinda like controversey, if it just had a few more good songs it would be better. Albums were so short then | |

I must rank it above anything he has put out since Lovesexy. Although it lacks 80's innovation, it has 80's consistancy. There aren't the frustrating highs and lows that marred most of his 90's albums. I don't have to skip over SILLY rap songs. I can just let it play. It's been a while since I could do that.

Its definatley better than everything that has come out since after the Gold Experience (but thats not hard to do, he released a lot of shit in those years). I need more time w/ it to see how it would compare to TGE and back. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 6, 6... | |

It's better than every album he's put out since Emancipation.
Before that, it's also better than... Grafitti Bridge Diamonds & Pearls Chaos & Disorder 
Come Batman For You It's also about equal to Lovesexy for me, and inferior to the others. [This message was edited Sun May 23 12:53:10 2004 by PurpleKnight] The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

[This message was edited Sat May 22 21:14:14 2004 by mrdespues] Take Chaos and Disorder off of that list, add Lovesexy and Batman and I'll be in complete agreement with you. | |
