For those of us who were alive when Prince started, we're all around the age
where this division of opinion is a good thing.
It's just like how there are still people who go to every Rolling Stones and
KISS show, knowing that the best days of those bands have long since passed.
They're going to relive the good old days. The difference with Prince, I
think, is that we all KNOW that he can do better, and there's the question
of all this genius unreleased stuff he has just sitting around. Do any of
you who say you like this album believe he can't do any better? This is a
dude who sold hundreds of thousands of copies of "Lovesexy", a one track
album. I think "Lovesexy" has more musical depth than Planet Earth, and if
the only reason why is because "he's older now", then perhaps he's done. I
personally hope not, because there isn't exactly any one else out here
challenging the musical (and corporate) status quo like him.
On the average, it looks like everyone has 3 or 4 songs that they like from
this album. Compared to entire ALBUMS we've liked from him in the past. I
think that says something about an artist of Prince's caliber. And what I
think it says is that he's trying to make hits, which is a bad move.
