However why does everyone hate Chaos and Disorder.

needed some rock on that album

I haven't bought a Prince album since 1991 when he released Diamonds & Pearls, and for me that's his worst album.

"So Far" his worse is Musicology. Which contained the worse Prince tune ever Cinnamon Girl which is a horrible record by Prince standards. But if Te Amo Corazon is any indication of what's next it could be scary.

Well, for one, it was a PIECE OF MISGUIDED, FILLER SHIT.

Does there have to be a second reason after that?

ok, now how could some of u's dont like RAINBOW CHILDREN

i can c y, because u's dont like jazz music ???

And then I thought, "Thank GOD he's not with Mayte anymore if this is the type of sentimental garbage she inspired."

Diamonds and Pearls.

Aside from "Cream," there's not a single song I even remotely like on there. The record sounds flat, yet too busy at the same time. It's by far his weakest work, in my eyes.

Welcome to Org.

Why bother with challenging people? There are as many opinions on Prince's music or best or worst album as there are Orgers.

What I like are the people that challenge people wy not calling them names, but offer an alternative, or try to questions certain people's choices.


And on topic; to me any album that does not play naturally or sounds too conceived does not work to me.
If I look at albums that I never play as a whole, then certainly albums like The Truth, The Rainbow Children, One Nite Alone (the studio album) and Diamonds & Pearls score high points.

It is just too bad Prince's output after WB is always stained by his own unwillingness to stick with a project and by the highly personla agenda's he tried to shove down our throaths.

At least, when still having to battle up against, let's teasingly call it a 'master', his music was firm. Songs were crafted, polished until they were right, not just whipped out in one morning, just for the sake of whipping out music.

Even though the music did not capture me, at least I liked the way Musicology sounded like it was shaped around a theme, not just a lil' collection of tracks he picked offa the vault shelves.

I miss ART DIRECTION, single sleeves, vinyl labels, a few good photo sessions that tie all the different singles together.

Again, I rather have Prince release tracks as singles and forget about albums. Let him be the modern day James Brown/Miles Davis in respect of releasing tracks. Two new ones every month. Might give NPGmc a sense of direction as well.

If I was pressured to pick just ONE album? Then I go for Emancipation, even though it contains a few ace tracks, as a whole it is just bland and like someone above me mentioned; plastic soul.

Can we please put this thread to bed? It's the third time I've seen it pop up in the last two weeks. What is the point to this negative detritis? Really?

Yeah, you're probably glad about how that baby thing turned out, too...

1989-2006

It's a fair assumption to make (from my dislike for Emancipation) that I don't care for Prince's more "lovey-dovey" sentimental-type music, but don't infer from that that I would wish death or unhappiness on him, Mayte, their baby, or anyone else for that matter.

Sorry you were offended but you just have to realize that some people are going to read something like that and take it at face value. One doesn't need to 'infer' because it looks spelt out fairly explicitly. Teasing or not, for strangers to come across and read, it's no better than the others who are hoping Prince would divorce current wife for whatever personal reasons they have...

I never explicitly mentioned anything about their child in my post--so how could your inference be based on something "fairly explicitly spelt out"?

Furthermore, if you read my post on the 'Prince get divorced' thread (since you mention that thread), I think you'd realize that I am not the type of person that would wish misery or unhappiness for someone... Please do not compare my comment to that ridiculuous thread.

Also, before I judge people online, I take a look at their other posts & threads to try and get a sense of whether I could be mis-interpreting the comment...

Most people just put albums they dont like at the bottom of the shelf, not throw them away. I agree with IstenSzek, what a stupid thing to do.

I cannot decide i thought come was but it is now that it has grown on me
me aunt mother and couswin all say musicology but i dont think so i wouldn't
say the best but not the worst
