I need to listen to Rave again...at the time it felt like..mmm too much, i dont know...I will listen to it again.Lament wrote:I can see how it would be a good, accessible album for people who are coming to his work at what might seem like a dauntingly late point in his career. I guess as someone who never stopped paying attention to him it was just a letdown after The Rainbow Children (which for me is far and away his best post-1995 work), and N.E.W.S. (which hinted towards a lot of exciting things that didn't start to manifest until Planet Earth and MPLSound, and to be fair didn't end up being as exciting as a lot of us had hoped). It has some decent songs on it, but in terms of his late career attempts to make more accessible music, I prefer Rave over it (even though Rave in retrospect was a false start, and Musicology obviously accomplished what he wanted it to).VinylGuy wrote:Musicology is the album that got me interested again in his music...after so long, i remember watching the video and just dance through that sexy bass line.
I would say its his last great album, and one of the most accessible one, specially for starters.
The good thing with Prince is that i might hate an album that eventually love. Its weird, but it happens with him all the time.
