The Black Album

Okay, I got this album two weeks ago, and I guess you know you love an album when it's all you've been listening to since you got it.

Deeeaaaayum! What was I missing out on! This chit is fonkay! I loooove it it's so good LeGrind Rocks me Hard in a Funky Place (wink), Cindy C just rules and Bob George...weeeeellll, Bob George speaks for itself really.

I know all y'all will have listened to it and heard it a million times, but to me this album (narrowly) is better than LoveSexy, it's incredibly hard to decide, and maybe it's cause this album is newer, but for me, je le prefer. biggrin

Glad you got a hold of this supernatural funk machine. Or rather, that it's got hold of you. It hasn't let go of me in all the years we've been together.

I think the Black Album grows on you... LeGrind is a great funk song... and though I wasn't a big "Bob George" fan at first, a friend liked it a lot, so I listened some more and now I've come to appreciate that song too! smile

The Black Album is defenitely one of his best, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it was better than Lovesexy.

I was listening to Superfunkycalifragisexy today. Just love it. Funkier than anything on Lovesexy.

Lovesexy's the better album though. IMO.

nod The Black Album is good stuff, I got it a couple of months ago. I'm not sure I can objectively rank it against Lovesexy tho...that was my first Prince album so it's always been special to me. dancing jig

I've been listening to this album alot lately. I've owned it a long time and always thought it was ok...i think i was really influenced by the whole 'don't buy the black album' thing so i never really got into it. Now i can appreciate that it is one of his best albums...it is now in my top 5. Superfunky....through headphones just blows me away.

Shall we go back?...let's go.

The black album is a great album ….
There’s only one problem:
It made him think about good and bad, and he got worried about how people would judge him ...
So … he withdraw this great album and started to compromise from that day on

In my opinion the black album is far superior to LoveSexy and everything released after that

Isn't it amazing to think he could throw 2gether a bad-ass funky album like this, then in the space of just weeks shelve it, then get straight into recording the totally different but equally brilliant Lovesexy. Who else has two albums in them (in an entire career!) as totally opposite and brilliant as these two classics?? 'Nuff said.

I had the Black Album for like 6 years and it just didn't hit me. Then one day recently... POW. ROCKHARD IN A FUNKY PLACE!

I like that about Prince's stuff. Sometimes a given record doesn't work for me for awhile and that's cool. His catalog rewards patience!!

It's a great album. In fact, I listened to The Black Album before I heard Lovesexy. It was the first time I hear "When 2 R in Love" which remains one of my favourite songs by P.

Are you effin' kidding me???
You don't have The Black Album? If you want to keep the LaFunk in your name, boy, you better snatch five copies TODAY! And prepare for that ass to be kicked. We're gonna do Le Grind, y'all.

I WOULD RECOMMEND:

1 Black Album (Only 'proper' album in the list)
2 One nite alone (Piano, not live set)
3 1800 New Funk (worth it just for 'Lovesign')

Ordering The Black Album from Amazon as I speak...will give the mistress a reveiw after spinning it 4 a week or so. warn me now....R there any *"quakes" on the black

*quakes - a prince song that sounds kinda corny or attempts 2 be funky at first, (usually due to the camille thing) but then eventually grows on u after bout 6 months or so)

I can't properly answer your question, because the definition itself sets off my D'Voidoffunk detector! cop

Actually, the Black Album did take a while to grow on me. Bob George was about the only song I loved on first listen. Like I've said before, a funk masterpiece of this black-forest-chocolate-cake depth takes time to seep under the skin. In other words, give it more than a week before you prematurely ejaculate a review.

I guarantee, though, that eventually you will be under the spell of the three beautiful wicked witches, Le Grind, Cindy C and Superfunkycalifragisexy. Not to mention their whore of a sister, RockHard in a Funky Place. But not before her pimp slaps yo ass into the middle of next week. I'm sorry, baby. But that's the rules.

A simple "sounds good..hope u enjoy the cd" would of been sufficient....JK ....thanks 4 the heads up...sounds like i'll be dodging some quakes for a lil while, but from what u tell me, it'll all b good once it settles in.
"prematurely ejaculate a reveiw".....tell the truth, did u rip that off or is that an original mistress line. pretty funny either way.
