...second is slower and sexier; the third draws from throbbing, dance-oriented techno. While a few of the new numbers, such as Let's Have a Baby, are as sharply winning as long-ago Prince smashes like Kiss and When Doves Cry, Emancipation is plagued with a lot of filler. In the end there are just too many middling songs. Still, listeners can indulge in a little emancipation of their own and make one great album out of this three-CD set. Directions: 1)Buy Emancipation and a blank tape; 2)Record these songs off the three...
...have a section your senior year, it is probably in some gut of a class you intend to devote as little time to as possible. It is merely filler space for non-thesis work.

...head on the Big Date night. One other roach public television show, "Charlie Roach," shows a glimpse at the movie's higher comic potential, as does some poking fun at the weird-artist stereotype. Otherwise, the jokes simply aren't consistently good enough to hold up the pillowy filler between Joe's episodic job-hunting and Lily-hunting troubles...
