Is it a greatest hits album? Those are all familiar tracks...

Tom said:

hehe,they certainly seem to be , looks like Mr.Day's creative well has run dry , maybe he should go knocking on the purple doors where all his best material came from in the 1st place.

Tom,

i don't about U all - and by what I've read already you don't like the Morris Day stuff. I like the 4 new tracks. I don't see nothing wrong with them. You have to admit it's better than the last album he did a few 100 years ago. The one after Daydreaming. It was bad.

Maybe it's just me, But I likes the new tracks.

oh lawd - i think i'm gonna need a two drink minimum . . . ahawl

morris morris morris . . . nice try superfligh . . . "last night" has wee potential but the lyrics are "7 days" baybee. and you can't go selling a new album of all your ole shizt that Prince wrote . . .

eh - he's still Morris, right?!
and for that he'll always be c.o.o.l.

i listened to fishnets...why is it only 2 minutes long...????? Shouldn't it had been at least 12 minutes mininum to be live?? I hope that was just a snippet on vh1.....

This CD is great!
I listened to the whole thing, and u can't complain - it's pure funk, and the new songs aren't as bad as some of his previous solo stuff.

Should include "get a job" and espically "somebody's watching me" though - that's funky as hell

Go Morris, Go Morris!

It's not great and it's not horrible.I'll buy it to add to my collection.Although,it is kinda' funny (not funny, ha ha)to me that he is using The Time to market his new solo stuff.And the new stuff is simply solo stuff from Morris.I would love to see a new Time album.And why does he never include any of the cool tunes from his first solo album w/the live stuff?And why the hell is "Fishnets" so sawed off? He should have consulted me on content before releasing.

I wonder why this is not called a "Time" album but a Morris Day album.
It's more "The Time" songs anyway.

In case anyone is wondering here's the track list (there was also a note that famous "hip hop" artists will join in on the songs....what the hell does that mean?) -- note no time listings:
1. Get it up (live) * (0:00)
2. 777-9311 (live) * (0:00)
3. Cool (live) * (0:00)
4. Girl (live) * (0:00)
5. Gigolos get lonely too (live) * (0:00)
6. Ice cream castles (live) * (0:00)
7. Fishnet (live) * (0:00)
8. Jungle love (live) * (0:00)
9. The bird (live) * (0:00)
10. In my ride (0:00)
11. Two drink minimum (0:00)
12. Ain't a damn thing changed (0:00)
13. Last night (0:00)

"Last Night" has a sample of a Public Enemy Loop. I wonder if it is credited.

Last Night is pretty cool, certainly worth a listen. The track, "In My Ride, " is pretty tired. I think the whole car thing has been played out and done too many times by the rappers that this song just sounds so out-dated. I would love to have this on bootleg, LOL.

Give Morris and the boys a break! They've only had about 13 years to come up with some new songs. You don't expect them to actually work, do you?

Well, this will be worth a download from a.b.m.p, but I wouldn't pay a dime for this weak-ass effort.

I hope when I'm Morris's age I'll have written so many COOL songs, sytill be lookin good and kickin it live. I mean this guy's still got the funk!

manki said:

Prince owns the rights to the name "The Time". By releasing live tracks under the name "Morris Day" it changes the whole rights issue and affects cost and permission.

Damn, Morris has sure dined well for the last 20-something years for simply coming up with the groove to Party Up - it's gotta be one of the sweetest meal tickets of all time

It's good to hear'em live; very cool

Thx for the link

New album my ass..lol

After listening to audio clips of the new "Morris Day" album, I have to say that most of the new songs sound like a cover band doing Beyonce, Nelly and most other "current" Pop. "Last Night" is the best offering of these tracks, but even this sounds like a Morris DAy solo effort, not a collaboration with Jesse J, and the boys.

DMSR said:

Name 3 "COOL" songs that Morris day wrote. I can't think of one.

chaz said:

Jesse Johnson hasn't been in The Time for over 10 years.

What the hell is this!!!!! Ya'll would never let Prince get away with this. (E-40 where did they dig up this guy, why not Young MC or Father MC) Before I get beat down I'm a huge fan, but the same ol routine, same tired-ass songs, 4 new songs that sound like crap. Give me a break.....

how pathetic.

the greatest hits thing is bad enough

then cheezy fuckn r and b!!!!
it's disgusting. it sounds like selwyn. R and B is the end of the earth. the devil. where is music going???

The new songs are OK. Nothing great, but definetly better than guaranteed. Atleast they have some of the "Time" humor that doesn't come out on most of his solo stuff. What annoyed me the most is that the live stuff is out of order and edited

daddypop said:

Sorry Y'awl but im not feeling the new stuff @ all... i like the demo form of "Old School" better than
that. yikes
