I'm not sure, you may be right. Personally I didn't love the Rainbow Children. But I do have to admit that it was very cool to see Prince do something he's never done before. I think I would rather see Prince aim high and fail rather than release "safe" albums like Musicology (which I loved, but it wasn't really anything new). When he takes chances sometimes great things happen. Sometimes they don't. I think many fans liked Rainbow Children because Prince was finally trying something new. But I am a little puzzled that so many fans rank it as his all-time best. To me, it pales when compared to much of his '80s releases. But that's only my opinion. | |

Soo DARKYNIGHTY have u gained anything from u'r thought provoking thread? DOO U DIG what Dorothy dug at the end of the rainbow or R U still a child that is looking in from the outside at what the other Children have seen (heard).

Thats basically what im saying, except i used a little more abrasive approach just to get more heated responses. Needless to say that it worked. (Insert something clever here) |

DarkKnight1 said: How many of you claim to like The Rainbow Children because you want to appear more musically enlightened? MOST OF YOU WHO SWEAR BY THIS UNINSPIRED ALBUM. I have loved everythng that he has ever released, including NPS, The Vault, and every other obscure album that he has put on vinyl, cassette, or CD. Im sure that some of you truly like TRC, but most claim to like it when they actually rarely spin it. Before you even say it... Im not enlightened on jazz, Im enlightened on what music Prince releases and more importantly what music misses the mark. IMFO IMFO IMFO IMFO
I'm not going to argue the merits of The Rainbow Children for the millionth time. I simply know what I like, and I think The Rainbow Children is one of his best albums. It has some of his catchiest funk numbers, it has some very rockin' Purple Rain-ish tunes toward the end. And then there's some weird Lovesexy type stuff thrown in, just to keep you on your toes. The CD has tons of variety and I loved it the second I heard it. It's not because I'm trying to be "elightened." To me the CD is ear candy. It's also energetic and exciting and, along with The Gold Experience, is the only album he released in the 90s that can really add up to classics such as Purple Rain, Lovesexy, Parade, etc. Luv & Peace, Alex Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w.

DarkKnight1 said: Im not looking for an excuse to why I dont like it. I just dont. I really started this thread to bring out those who love TRC and give their feelings about the album. Theres no doubt that it is different than anything that he has ever done. So different that I want to know how this album is appealing to some fans who do not like what he has done in the past few years. Im not shallow in my music tastes, I just dont feel the energy that you feel from the album..I Really Want To because I love everything else that he has ever done. The Bob George voice is done in a totally different context. I get that, just like with the voice on 1999. But not so much now
DarkKnight, you're spinning this as an educational thing for you, but the title of the thread and your remarks throughout "im not ignorant enough to compare TRC to ATWIAD." "Maybe if I borrow your rainbow colored goggles, I will see the light." "do you like the Darth Vader voice?" "What moves you about this bland sound?" proves that you are just poking sticks. You're trying to get a rise out of fans of this album. You admit to liking absolute CRAP such as Xpectation and then doubt other's taste for enjoying one of Prince's funkiest, inspired and most rockin' records? If you don't like TRC, you don't like it. That doesn't mean your taste is right (I'm seriously doubting it is, after hearing you "love" N.E.W.S. and Xpectation -- the earliest albums voted off in the survivor game we're playing, and Prince's most pretentious albums. Who has "fake deep syndrome" now, doll?). Who's to say that you aren't the one with bad taste? Who's to say that something about the album just rubs you the wrong way? And why are you saying (in both indirect and VERY direct ways) that those of us who LOVE the album suffer from some sort of "syndrome?" Maybe we just recognize good music when we hear it. One thing's for sure: I sure as hell recognize a troll when I see one, and you're pretty recognizable. Luv & Peace, Alex Clubbin' in Mpls/A Night w. Prince [Edited 9/13/04 0:08am] | |

starbuck said: EvilWhiteMale said: You'd have to be high to even tollerate that shit album.  Evil, i see you dissing this album quite alot, what Prince albums do u like? Evilwhitemale likes all those Prince albums performed by Metallica.
He only hangs with Prince because one album turned him on, Purple Rain. Because of PR, he liked a few select rock songs off a few more Prince albums, mostly created in the 80s, but he only wants Prince to do one style of music. He seems unable to expand.

I did just call you a shitstain though. I didnt say that i love expectation and news. I simply would prefer those albums over TRC. Dont end your message with peace and love without the ability to look at things from a little lighter side. One of my favorite albume is 0+>. If you called me a fake deep album lover for liking that album, I wouldnt give a 3 paragraph on poking people with a stick. I like to joke. If I took it too far with people that I dont know very well, then it is my mistake. (Insert something clever here) |

psykosoul said: As a supporter of The Rainbow Children, I'll take the bait.
For me, The Rainbow Children represents Prince getting back to some musical attributes he abandoned for several years. One of the fascinating things about Prince is that he's always been able to take his influences and unify them while creating sounds that were uniquely his. Six years prior, when Prince released that album "he was born to make" (remember?) the majority of the music I heard from it and future releases were plastic, cold and uninspired. Out of the 4 or 5 albums he released since that time, I could probably compile a single album out of the tracks I truly enjoyed. For the first time in a long time I heard elements of classic Prince albums. I also heard echoes of Sly, Jimi, Miles and James. Beyond that, it was the first album in a long time containing predominately live instrumentation. It didn't sound forced and it came across as Prince naturally doing what he does best. So why must anyone who enjoys the Rainbow Children be victim of a "Fake Deep Syndrome" Conversely, I see Prince as the one who was a victim of a syndrome by attempting to follow hip-hop trends and formulaic R&B for all those years. Spoken like a true scholar. I could not have expressed it better myself! FYI: The Vault included some highly underrated gems. Emmancipation included some of the best ballads i've ever heard. | |

OK.
I propose this. Sign of the Times is the kind of CD you reward yourself with listening to after a long hard day at the office. The Rainbow Children is the kind of CD you play 24/7 to weaken your enemy combatants--it's real fine line between affective interigation techniques and torcher--THe Rainbow Children is one of those brilliant gems that seems to fall in that catagory. | |

The latter is well informed and interesting (and incidentally I agree with it) and the latter is rude, ignorant and dull. Hey Vivid(video?) Be sure to answer your phone when it rings. Saturday Night Live will be calling once they see your rapist wit (I hope there isnt a 2). Anyways, I dont think that both can be the latter. Regardless, thanks for your participation in this rude, ignorant and dull topic. Ouch!  The topic is fine mate, the pejoratives were aimed at how u gave your opinion. But you're welcome anyway. | |
