Query: Not bad, not great

Musicology to me lacks what the majority of the Prince releases in the last 10 years or so have lacked, creative songwriting. From the meandering "jazz" of NEWS to the bland throwaway funk vamps of Musicology, he never seems to invest in the craft of songwriting anymore. This was supposed to be a return to that, but with a few exceptions (What do you want me to do, A Million Miles), it dissapoints. The slow songs included do not break any new ground and sound like the same old tired r&b grinds of before.Make no mistake, the man can still bring it on stage and when he comes to your town run don't walk to the ticket office and go see him live. By the way, when you do, you'll get this CD for free...which makes it a bit more palpable than paying for it.
