Sitting here reading about all the complaining about ONA thinking when I do receive the CD I am going to hate it, I still have not received mine (5/25). Luckily I found it and was able to download it. It is a beautiful piece of piano work. I really like it and think if it is truly a demo it is pretty damn good. Who recently has made a piano based album that is this good? Folks there is a lot of crap out there right now. I like Moby and I hate 18. Luckily I only paid $10.00 for it. Back to Prince, is this CD worth $25.00, NO!!. But remember if you were lucky enough to have the tour come through your neck of the woods the soundchecks were priceless. Luckily I saw the tour while you could still get the cheap seats and attend the soundcheck. Personally I do not think the ONA tour was worth $125.00 per ticket. Also, I think the club should allow the members to download the songs as they wait the weeks possibly month to get the actual CD's. You can send a CD for $1.31 through the US mail and get it well within 7 days. I have sent things across the country at this rate and people have received their stuff within one week. I even sent something to Alaska for the "media rate" and it was there within 2 weeks.

Huh?

"Who recently has made a piano based album that is this good?" Um can you say Alica Keys? I suppose that you could say Prince is riding her jock.

Its a fantastic album with some really great songs on it.

Alicia Keys ... give me a break! Prince trounces her with 'One Nite Alone. Its Alicia who RIDES PRINCE'S JOCK ANYWAY! SHE WAS THE ONE WHO COVERED 'HCUDCMA'! That girl is the biggest overhyped sensation since D'Angelo.

Oh come on! Alycia was just copying Fiona Apple. Which came first the chicken or the egg? What are we talking about? It's pop music for cying out load, it isn't physics or something important.

ONA is good, not super gr8. The only annoying song is Young and Beautiful!! The rest is pretty good and works fine for me as background music

agreed. (although I do like Y & B) The whole thing is a great disc. I've haven't stopped listening to it yet.
