A definite Emancipation.

Finally he was free to throw up a lot of shit on us.

Then I realised that Warner was right al along.

Diamonds and Pearls, there are some great songs, but it could do without the Tony M raps and Jughead

Rave

Batman gets such a (unfair) rough ride.

Scandalous is one of his all time greatest ballads. The Future is one of his darkest, most haunting funk jams to date. And then there's Electric Chair and Vicki's Waiting....

Sure you have Arms Of Orion, Batdance and Lemon Crush... but those are the only throw-away fillers on the disc.

3 throwaways on a 45 minute disc?

i like al of batman, disappointed in rave

For me it was Come.You can really tell that he didn't really feel like doing that album.

I admit, I like all of batman too.As I really like all of Prince's albums after I listen to them like a billion times to truly understand what he was doing on there.I just couldn't do it with Come.

meltwithu said:

IMO, most Prince albums have at least two or three fillers (with a few exceptions).

Most albums I own from other artists often have four, five or six tracks I consider "filler".

Maybe my standards are just too high?

Rave.

EMANCIPATION (Can't tell u how dissapointed i was!After all the "Slave/WB/being free in..."-Thing that was all he had 2 offer?)

Crystal Ball, great packaging though.

EMANCIPATION....I still only like perhaps an albums worth of the set.

Emancipation.


Don't get me wrong--it's a great album. But the album Prince "Was born to make?"
Nope. Not even one of his "major" albums. Just a good easy-to-listen to album with a few annoying bumps on each CD.

I thought Rainbow Children , he was gettin' a little weird on us!

TRC also made me cry and quit being a fan

...and...you're still here???


my picks would be

come

and
diamonds and pearls

so dissapointed...but @ least he had the odd gem hidden somwhere in the rough.

Why?

Emancipation. I remember listening to it once and not listening to it again for about 3 years.

- Emancipation.

I remember when I put it on in the car when I first got it, and "Jam of the Year" came on, my brother said, "Isn't this QVC theme music?" I couldn't argue...

An album that screams: follower.


Rave comes in a close number 2.


2 golden opportunities squandered.

Emancipation because of the hype. It's a very average to maybe slightly above average record but after all the buildup I was hoping for another SOTT.

A Prince album made you cry cause you didn't like it?

PurpleKnight said:

I don't know about crying but I do know that I REALLY wanted to leave the game room at Paisley Park when they were playing it for us at the listening party. At the time it was like 70 minutes of torture which I had paid for. The record has since grown on me.

Funny, I love Crystal Ball, but think the packaging sucks ass.

Chaos & Disorder.

I wasn't tapped into the Prince grapevine
when it was released so I didn't know
about a new cd until a few days before its release date
& I knew nothing of its content.
I was convinced it was a Vault CD
& had real high expectations.
Its one of my least favorite cds.

Rave definitely. I was hoping for something great, but as soon as I saw the cover I started to get a bad feeling.
