Lotus Flow3r is the best album since...

After listening to it about 50 times now I am convinced this is the best album since SOTT. It has been that long since I loved every song on one album. Standout song is Wall of Berlin.

I think Lotusflow3r is a excellent album set. There aren't any songs that I don't like on it, and that almost never happens for me. Sometimes it seems as if not having any bad songs is almost as important as the number of good songs in an album. It's early, but I think it's in my Top 10 favorite albums by Prince.

I really dig Lotusflow3r but I don't think that it surpasses either The Gold Experience or Emancipation. For me it is definitely his best album of the last ten plus years.

Emancipation? I kinda think it is similar. Some great tracks, some good tracks and some filler.

Best since Gold Experience in my opinion.

And he did all of it without help from Will I. Am.

I'd say best since 3121. It's a solid album, but not a classic.

Classic albums:

Dirty Mind
Controversy
1999
Purple Rain
Around The World In A Day
Parade
Sign O´ The Times
Lovesexy
The Black Album
The Gold Experience
One Nite Alone – Piano


Solid albums:

Prince
Batman
Graffiti Bridge
Chaos And Disorder
Emancipation
Crystal Ball/The Truth
Newpower Soul
The Vault... Old friends 4 Sale
The Rainbow Children
N.E.W.S.
C-Note
Xpectation
The Chocolate Invasion
The Slaughterhouse
3121
Lotus Flow3r/MPLSoUND

I'd almost agree w/you. Prince & the Symbol album should be in the classic section.

I say it is the best since The Gold Experience. Not since then has there been an album with this level of consistent quality. At the minute I only skip 1 track on this album (77 beverley park) and that hasnt happened since, well The Gold Experience.

And some of the tracks on this album are better than anything since Sign of the Times and Lovesexy, particularly

Colonised Mind
Wall of Berlin
Dreamer

Love it!

This totally sums up my views on LF. Pretty Good, and better than Planet Earth, but short of true mythic status like 1999 or SotT

I know some people think the styles don't mix, but I think LF and MPLSound could be whittled down to one, stronger Cd

Just listening to this album for the first time right now. (And I call myself a Prince fan! lol )
Why did no one tell me how good this album is?

MPLSound kind of sucks on my first listen (We'll see in time), but Lotusflow3r has been great for every track... so far...!!
