"The Jaded Album (a review just for Fire)
Aerosmith...curse them for making jaded my new word for the year
Jaded according to www.m-w.com
1 a : to wear out by overwork or abuse b : to tire or dull through repetition or excess
2 obsolete : to make ridiculous
intransitive senses : to become weary or dulled
Yep that's what the Symbol album did to me...
The concept was cool (a story album), but I don't know maybe being a Prince fan would let you accept anything. As I always say to folks, being a Prince fan is not an easy thing.

"I changed my name because it came to me in a dream..." Yeah Prince I'm with you. Even started correcting folks. "Don't make fun of the man's wishes" Oh boy were we the fools when it all became clear that it was a legal matter instead of the bullshit that was feed to us.

This album started the wave of "when is this fool gonna make good (Revolution-like) music" questions.

Anyway onto this album...

>My Name is Prince
When I first heard this, I was like Prince is back muthafukkas! (kinda like after I heard "How'd You Get A Record Deal" by Kane. I need to stop saying those things...). Hotness and it was the beginning of many a Prince mixtapes/cds

>Sexy M.F.
All the hype came from the video they wouldn't show you (Sidenote: I would rather see Troy naked than this Halle crap...jaded I is...). The song had a nice lil funk groove, but I don't know...it just didn't move me. Where da hell are the Linns? The synths? The grafting? Don't get me wrong I liked the song but it's never on my mixtape/cds

>Love 2 the 9’s
Loved the melody. The break? heeeheeee

>The Morning Papers
??????? What da fuck is this? Ugggggh. Where's the f-fwd on this bitch???

>The Max
Heard the live version...made me like the song...

>Blue Light
HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...F-Fwd...

>I Wanna Melt With You
Club music + Prince = FFWD

>Sweet Baby
My finger is getting a work-out here...

>The Continental
Ummm...I forgot how this song went...oh well

>Damn U
Did I say this song was a filler? Oooops. I loved this song. There were many a Damn U's in my life. (This album got one, but not in the context of this song. "DAMN U FOR MAKING ME COP THIS ALBUM!!!!")

>Arrogance
I liked the break down

>The Flow
Woooohoooooo! Tony M is rhyming! FFWD

>7
Here's a secret: If I was a terrorist locked up in a Waco type building and yall wanted me out? Play this song repeatedly over the loud speakers. I will be out before the second verse...hell even before the first verse...

>And God Created Woman
No one is fucking with this song. Only problem...why so short?

>3 Chains of Gold
Ok...Dude was listening to tooooo much Queen. I think Prince got into that "Hey I can do the same thing they're doing but better" (also this is Prince's downfall. Trying to up the ones that are out now. Nigga needs to just concentrate on doing what HE feels and not what Tim or the 'Tunes or Teddy were doing). I mean isn't funny how this song was made right after the re-surgance of the Bohoemian Rhapsody? I see you and you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

>The Sacrifice of Victor
You know what? This might be the realest song that Prince ever wrote (ok released cuz Old Friends For Sale...wow!). However since I'm jaded with the album by now, the light is never really seen.

Like I said...this was an ok album. I now understand how my high school teachers felt about me when I would just skate by. They know I can do better, but I would rather settle for passing instead of giving my all and get them high grades. I know Prince could have done better than this (as well as some of the current songs).

So until Emancipation...you will see a whole slew of hatred from me for the next couple of albums..."

We're ><, brah
