I would not call it "a piece of shit", but if I have to vote for Mr. Purples worst album, Come is definitely one of the No. 1 candidates imo. This record also could've been called "I just do that to fulfill the contract I've signed 2 years ago and got tired of just a few months later". It's a dust collector in my CD collection, to be honest.

Come - Great song, I prefer that version over the "electronic" one, good horns. But apparently, the only reason for making it that long is to get some minutes for the album. Dark is o.k., nice soulful tune, Letitgo is not bad, though not a really strong single, and anyone who ever complained about Emancipation-style production might explain to me how he or she can like that track as it is clearly synthi-made R'n'B. Solo and Orgasm can be omitted and are just there to end up with 10 songs imo. The rest is, more or less, filler.

So, what we have here, is an album with only 8 real songs, one cool title track blown up to 11 min. or so, two or eventually three o.k. songs and the forgetabble rest.

But I might give it a spin again and discover that it actually is a brilliant record. You never know with P. biggrin


Space is the best track on "come" & certainly aint filler ..... then Pheromone , then Come ..... Letitgo is probably the worst (i aint counting Orgasm)!! IMHO

'Come' is not the worst album he's ever released,but I was underwhelmed by it.I think it was a huge disappointment after the amazing 'Love Symbol' CD.a few songs are cool ("Space","Dark") but it's not a CD that I re-visit very often.It's mediocre and bland.

Come is a very original piece of work. It took me a few listens to finally realize it, since I knew going in that it was during his dispute with Warner Bros. at that time. But other than, it's pretty magnificant by itself. Most artists can't create something as dark and experimental as that.

Come is an EXCELLENT album! And who said C&D was his poorest album? Man o man! C&D, TGE and come were the last great albums the man released... It all went pear shaped from there...

I agree with the Beautiful Experience version of Come being much better. Also think Space (universal love mix) is by far the better version of that song... But those aside, and take away orgasm, and you have a brilliant album... Papa and Dark are inspired tunes!

Most definately THE worst album is Rave... Closely followed by Musicology.
