... except 1999: New Master. There are NO good tracks, and it WON'T grow on you. It's just pure, unadulterated SHIT.

Every Album has atleast 1 good song..

except.

1999 New Masters.

It's total dog shit! BUY/GET every album except that one

Not technically an album anyway, though i'd rather get an STI in my earhole than ever hear that again.

EmeraldSkies said:

Honestly, there isn't an album NOT to get. What we say you shouldn't get may wind up being your favorite CD. People trash the shit out of "Planet Earth" but it may be a masterpiece to your ears. Get it and then judge for yourself. Hope this helps you out.

Chaos and Disorder. Worst Prince album ever.

Also high on the fluff/cheese list are:
- Rave
- Rainbow Children
- Batman

The Truth
NEWS
New Power Soul

I like all of Prince's albums, I have all of them on vinyl, some on cd's and some others on mp3/FLAC editions.

What can I say? I REALLY listen to Prince while I'm working, eating, writing, having a shower and even ironing.

Once I had sex listening to 'One Nite Alone' all the way through ('twas good).

And by the way, I listen to all of them, evidently I listen to my favorite ones, of course, but when I feel I had enough listen, then I put on some less favorite albums, just like 'Rave Un2' or 'Graffiti bridge' rather than 'Newpower Soul'.

I really enjoy listening to all of his music, honestly.

But still, I don't have '1999 - The New Master'.

GOLD NIGGA! BLOWS BIG TIME!

If you a Prince´s fan you should get or know everyone don´t matters what the others say, what you think is about

Being a fan that has all except Goldnigga, I would say you really need to have them all to enjoy the full Prince experience, love it or hate it. The ones I like the least are 1999:The New Master, but that was really an EP, and Kamasutra, but this was kind of a toss-away, anyway.

Well today I got Controversy,Prince,The Vault,and Lovesexy. I haven't had the chance to listen to them yet,but I will get on that tonight.

Get it all...what's $10? Here is the thing...there is stuff I think sucks and other folks on here is praising it like it's the best thing since Purple Rain...It all depends who you are..... I say get it all.

I'd say get everything too. I'm still accumulating albums, and some that aren't my favorite at first I just have to listen to more and I'll find things I appreciate. At first, I was sort of dissapointed with Emancipation, but, having listened to it again and again to know the songs and such, I've found some songs to be classics imo like "Style," "Face Down," "In This Bed I Scream," "Sleep Around," etc.

I have to admit though I'm still working on NewPower Soul. Those croud shoutout samples bug me for some reason at the moment. But I think he really shines with the ballads on that one though.

What's so bad about the 1999 new master? I kinda like it. All of those other remixes I could definitely do without, but the New Master track itself is good In My Opinion. But I do think that those 'Inevitable Mixes' or whatever are kinda unnecessary

YEAH..... I'll tell you an album you should't get:

N.E.W.S.
Expcectation
Madhouse 8 16

Don't ever get those. These are NOT the Prince you want.

mydrawers said:

But there again who knows what they want....Like I said...there are albums I think SUCK and folks on hear would want my head if I even said it out loud...it all depends on the person.

I rock, Therefore I am is a jam but folks on hear can't stand it....

Run screaming away from The Rainbow Children.

LuneCerise said:

Already have it,and it's not to bad,it had it's moments.

I was hatin' on Emancipation on a previous post. I had sold it years ago. I felt like I needed to give it another chance so I bought it again. I listened to about half and now I plan on using it as coasters.

sparklyboy said:

You just made my point....I think there are some good stuff on there...

It wasn't as GREAT as the hype but it was good.

I don't care much for his 90's stuff, but whatever you do stay far away from that garbage Graffiti Bridge. If you must get 90's prince, new power soul is okay

I couldn't get into rainbow children either though I wanted to, I just felt too ADD when I first listened to it.
