Dayum, D! I think that's pretty harsh. I wouldn't say it's a masterpiece but I do think the music on it is a lot more interesting (in terms of bridges, key changes, solos, and orchestration) than Musicology and 3121, especially on tracks like "Planet Earth" and "Somewhere Here On Earth"--two of my favorite tracks on the album. My other favorites are "Future Baby Mama" and "Chelsea Rodgers"--one a classic and classy slow jam (even if it has a ghetto title) and the other a great dance track, something Prince hasn't successfully done in ages.
I do think the lyrics on most of the album are pretty clumsy, heavy handed, and lack the kind of double entendre, creative word play, and poetry that Prince mastered early in his craft. All in all, it meets my 3-song minimum. <Moderator: So do you think it would of made a better instrumental album? I was thinking that the other day. The arrangements rate higher to me then lyrics. For instance you can dance you Chelsea Rodgers as long as you tune out the lyrics and just dance. -Derek> On 7/17/07, Turner, Robin T Ms CIV USA AMC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This sucks.
