During the 1990s it looked as though Prince, once one of the most vital and inventive artists in the industry, was in all ways over. Yet 2004's MUSICOLOGY redeemed the man who seemed lost to obscure re-christenings and self-indulgent double-albums by proving he could still deliver the goods with strong songs and tight, funky musicianship. 2006's 3121 does MUSICOLOGY one better. Not only is it full of fine writing, superb production, and infectious, high-energy jams, it is Prince's most focused and consistent effort in a long time. That 3121 doesn't rival masterpieces like PARADE and SIGN 'O' THE TIMES is not surprising; Prince doesn't invent at such a furious pace here. Instead, he sticks with what he knows best--forward-thinking, idiosyncratic funk--and does it to perfection. The rolling stomp of the title-track opener, the synth-driven "Lolita," and the down-and-dirty "Black Sweat" tell us this will be an album full of body-movers, while beautifully downtempo tunes like "Te Amo Corazon" prove the man hasn't lost his sense of songcraft. MUSICOLOGY put Prince back in the driver's seat, and 3121 finds him revving up the engine. Editorial Reviews Rolling Stone Mojo | Find errors in the product description?

Reviews This is definitely Prince at his best. The feel good cd of the year. If you though Musicology was his comeback cd, then you will be in for a great surprise with 3121. This cd was released shortly after the release of Musicology, so not to much buzz from the media. It's definitely a must for any Prince admirer. Review ID: 10000000006343257 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 03/23/08 by: This CD really rocks, it has his classic grove, freak , in your face lyrics. In additional to that this CD does not have a slow spot, this CD is Erotic and to the point. The song I want to satisfy you... perfect for licking the bowl... on a scale of 1 to 10 this CD is definetly 12 licks in my book....it is as good if not better than vanity five, in the sense....wake me when you done...I guess you will be the only one having fun.....Awsome!

I like to display them. Bought it because I'm a Huge PRINCE fan and like to collect his music and memorabilia. Review ID: 10000000004972606 Was this review helpful? Report this review Bought the cd for a song for a line dance and very pleased with the entire cd. Prince has always been an artist that I have found not only fascinating, but his music is different and I enjoy it. Review ID: 10000000004732337 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 06/04/07 by: linkco5211 ( 2 ) I am a big fan of Prince, and had his 3121 cd but my husband misplaced it and I didn't want to buy a downloaded copy I wanted the original cd but didn't want to pay the full price for it again which I would have and to do if I went to a store, and eBay was a perfect way to do it, I got what I wanted at a great price and had fun bidding on it. I will use eBay again, it was great! Review ID: 10000000003706711 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
