After listening to the CDs, I'm starting to believe we'll never have another
truly great album from Prince. This certainly isn't Prince's poorest effort
but too much of it seems to be a retread of prior material. Of the two
Prince albums, I prefer MPLSound, although the best songs are on
LotusFlow3r. If he had combined these two instead (like he should have done
with Emancipation), maybe we would have had a really good album. As for
Bria, um, uh, well, I'm sure she'a a lovely girl. It's actually not that bad
(or should I say it's not horrible) but one has to wonder how many copies
actually would have been sold if it wasn't included as part of this set. I
know I wouldn't have bought it.
One thing I noticed about all three albums (especially MPLSound) is that
they all suffer from clipping. This is unusual for a Prince album and a
shame since some of the music is really good. Does anyone know if the
downloads suffer the same fate?
It should be interesting to see how this Target deal works out for Prince.
Will the average Target shopper who is a casual fan or is still mostly
familiar only with Purple Rain be picking this up? If they do, I think most
of them will be scratching their heads upon the first listen. Caveat Emptor,
as the price sticker on my CD says, "This item can only be returned if
UNOPENED."

<Moderator: I am still pretty perplexed by the Bria album being included at
all. Prince has made zero effort to introduce her to his fans let alone the
world. Serious waste of an effort. -Derek>
