Prince's new site
LotusFlow3r.com
offers the 2 new Prince albums
LotusFlow3r
and
MPLSound
for download and also the Bria Valente debut
Elixer
. It is perhaps the worst website ever constructed from a userfriendlyness point of view, so I wish you good luck and a lot of patience if you decide to dive in. (hint: find the ticket on the rock and then enter: 1986, LA). The albums will also be released as proper cds if you decide to wait instead.
The
LotusFlow3r
album is partly a rock album with references to Hendrix and Santana. It also has several more pop-oriented tunes on it and even a bit of funky stuff. I guess I should be very happy and filled with joy since I've been asking for a Prince guitar album ever since the excellent never-released-as-an-official-cd
The Undertaker
[1994] album. But somehow this bag is a little too mixed for me to fully enjoy.
I have played the album many many times now and I certainly don't dislike it. It might even grow further in the years to come. But after listening to it for about a week now, it's just not quite the rock album I'd been wishing for. It ain't no new
The Undertaker
. It has some guitar and then a lot of other stuff in between.
My favourite tracks would be
Colonised Mind
and
Wall Of Berlin
, both tracks we already knew from various internet downloads. A pop tune like
$
is also really catchy and happy. Another example is
Dreamer
which pretty much sounds like a Hendrix song with a Lenny Kravitz production. Great guitar but not that overwhelmingly interesting to be honest. Worth noting is that
Crimson & Clover
is not included on the album which feels like a weird decision since it is a great cover version and would have fitted in perfectly.
Oh, the lyrics you say? Well, I don't have a clue what he is babbling about. Probably some Jehovah bullshit mixed with other weird shit. Prince lyrics don't really interest me anymore. They are not like in the good old days of
Sister
,
Head
and
Darlin' Nikki
.
I wouldn't really call the album consistent due to the many genres that colide but somehow it doesn't feel like a complete mess either. At the end of the day it is certainly not the worst Prince release in recent years and there is even the possibility that I may actually learn to appriciate it more in the years to come. I would have loved to award the album with 5/6, but for now it will only earn 4/6. Maybe I'll change my mind about that at a later point.

Just received the cd package in the mail. The tracklist of the LotusFlow3r album differs. Crimson And Clover is included while The Morning After has been omitted. The cd package itself is a simple fold-out cardboard cover with the 3 cds in it and no lyrics or anything else of interest.
