Sheeeiiiit... any of Prince's albums destroys Musicology. Musicology is a huge stink sandwich. Purple Fact #542: Prince can make a Weeble™ fall down. | |

pass the deep voice narrator 
I know, I know...Maybe Im just not deep enough cause I'd sooner listen to Musicology any day over this  I don't think it has anything to do with being deep. I think it has everything to do with being just flat out pinheaded for judging the entire album on what amounts to roughly 3 minutes(if even) of narration. It's actually dispersed quite nicely throughout and doesn't interfere with any of the actual songs. Hell, the last four songs, which are IMO the highlight of the album, don't even have narration. I never get tired of posting how much I absolutely love TRC. It really is the most cohesive and brilliant piece of work he's done in the last 17 years. | |

Brilliant piece of work. RC will go down as one of Prince's best and essential cd's. It's aging quite well IMO. | |

I can't get into this cd with the exception of the title track. And,, that's only because my best friend stated it reminded him of the opening to Fraggle Rock. Now I just listen to it and laugh my head off as I imagine the Fraggle Rock cast singing "Rise Rainbow Children - Rise". _________________________________________

Nahh, TRC sucks.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

I just don't get it. I respect everyone's opinion and know that we all like different cereal in our bowls but The Rainbow Children is crap. The lyrics are obscure and pretentious. The music is okay but nothing earth-shattering. The overall tone is isolated, a man too locked into his own mindset to give much thought to other's views. I have listened to this album on multiple occasions and I just cannot get into it. I just think he has got his head up his ass on this one and before you tell me to stick my own head up my own ass, I just say that this is just one man's opinion and if you dig it, more power to you.
This town needs an enema. | |

Musicology is no classic but at least it sounds like it was recorded for an audience outside of Paisley Park. Any good artist has his/her head up their ass. When you start making art for an audience you end up with Diamonds and Pearls or Rave. Just admit you can't get past the subject matter or that you don't care for the jazz or R&B tinged music. That's understandable. Just don't pretend the obscurity and pretentiousness of his lyrics are putting you off unless you feel the same way about Lovesexy and to some degree every other album he's made. Prince has never been a straight-shooter. TRC will likely go down as a classic Prince album by those in the know. New Power Soul is the only Prince album I would consider crap.

love Amongst some hardcore Prince fans, maybe. Amongst everyone else, I seriously doubt it. Very few have heard it outside a core circle of nterested parties, 4 those who have heard it, u r n an overwhelming minority. TRC is a classic Prince album, which u don't appreciate. love | |

Yes, some legitimately love the album, but I think there are also many who realize TRC is an uneven mess.  The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
