I've listened to it about 10 times already and I'm crafting my review as we speak

for somebody who seems to have been over Prince giving it a listen over ten times is surprising but I'll bet you didn't spend a dime right?

There has been alot of discussion here recently about the 80s versus now Prince, but fact is, that raw energy that he displayed, particularly on the Lovesexy tour, has rarely ever shown up again apart from the Gold tour. Odd thing about the Lovesexy tour was, it was not well recieved in America because of its preachy nature.

The ONA tour followed the release of the TRC album, and from what I saw on the Aladdin DVD, it certainly didnt set my world on fire, same can be said of ONA live, apart from the aftershow. So he must somehow restrain himself, why he does it I will never know, but I know from what i experienced in London in 2007, that the side he tries to contain, pops up now and again and wreaks havoc, like the good ol days.

Now why would I review something if I haven't given it a proper listen? I am totally being fair!

And no, I didn't pay a cent for it. A very wonderful friend who knows I'm a completist gave it to me as a gift! If someone else wants to spend money giving me Prince music or take me to Prince's concerts, I cannot stop them. I won't do it myself though

Oddly enough I kinda understand why..(I have been reading your posts)

Believe it or not, I have something good to say about some of the songs! Prince could have just cut me off at the pass and invited me to his home for a personal apology, but he didn't want to go there

oh how kinky

I'm starting to think the Lotus project is just as good if not a lil better and believe you me the TRC project was one that I was highly impressed by.

this new mixed bag of hit or miss mess pales in comparison to the rainbow children. religious blasts to the head or not, trc is prince at his most inspired and creative in years. the energy was there and the emotion as was the obvious lack of desire to be "cool" or "hip". the best songs on lotusflower make me think the same thing...too bad there's just so few of those songs.

I dunno dude, that's two heavyweights right there...like comparing 1999 against Purple Rain.

All are top 5 in my book.

the alladddin show is NOT a good xample of the fire the ONA show had ..and not even the live album can do it justice cause it jumps all over locations..find one from ONE city and listen 2 it in it's entirity and i'm sure u'll come away with a feeling of DAMMIT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE ...
