Even worse than For You or New Power Soul???

I think it is!!!

For You is a great album. Come has some cool hits on it but it does suggest to me that Prince didnt want Warners getting tracks that were any good when he left them.

It's not one of my favorites, but I like it better than "Around The World In A Day".

What's wrong with "For You"? I like that album...lol.

The Mayte Album&then some of His.

"Come" is far from his worst effort. Surely, it may not have pretensions of being his best album, but it succeeds in its mission- to be a dark, plaintive and subtle album without aspirations of commercial success. In my opinion, "New Power Soul" is his worst effort, and even that has some wonderful songs.

ain't nuffin wrong with for you, man...imo, his worst album wuz emancipation.

OH MY GOD! Did U say U liked Come better than ATWIAD???

I don't know 4 a fact, but that comment just aged U by suggesting U R all about beats and bass and not about songwriting and sonic soundscapes.

I like all Prince's albums for different reasons.

By God, yes, I did say that!

No, no, no...it wasn't suggesting anything other than I prefer "Come" over "Around The World In A Day".

I like the Come album. I also like For You and New Power Soul. There are some songs that he's done that I'm not crazy about but I'm unwilling to condemn an entire album because one or two songs on it don't make me feel anything.

I agree, For You, is a great album. But are you serious? You think Emancipation is his worst album?? I have to disagree. Maybe Disc 3 is a little 'skippy' but 1 and especially 2 are great.

I like come more than newpowersoul. NPS is my least favorite album of his, and I joke around about how bad it is, but it does have some good songs. For You rocks!

O+> is Prince's worst album IMO. The songs themselves are HORRIBLY second rate (although the arrangements are top notch) except for 7, and the production is far too glossy and commercial for my taste.

The come album is not bad... I enjoyed Papa and specially "Race" thats my fav from that album.

Come is a whole, good album. The worse album Prince has done, is inevitably Graffiti Bridge. Mainly because it had crap bands (like the time) and solo artists on it, it was hardly a Prince album. The only significant hit was, Theives in the Temple.

I think Come is a good cd, definately not P's worst.

New Power Soul grates on my nerves in sooo many spots. There's very little on Come that bothers me..

and as for 'For You' remember he was a kid when he made that album, I love it, it's good 70s fun...

Now, Chaos and Disorder, there's an album with little or no redeeming qualities... as is 80% of Diamonds and Pearls, IMO

Not even close. Come is very underrated and will gain more and more praise as the "undiscovered Prince gem" as time goes on. Just wait and see.

Come is one his best albums (based on coherence and flow).

Not neccessarily his best songs, but a strong compilation and sequence.

Chaos and Disorder is on my worst list, but I do love the last two tracks on that.

No way! Come is a really cool album. Race, Papa, . Are you kiddin me? You must be! This is a Great Album. There are no Worse albums by Prince. Maybe some were more successful or commercial but they were all Wonderful.

Oh COME on, people! Ever heard of a little stinker called "Rave Unto The Joy Fantastic"?

COME is a fascinating album that takes a while to grow on you, but when it does, there's tons of interesting sounds and lyrics and moods to sift through. It took me a few years to fully embrace this one, and once I did, I was a fan of it. Not my favorite Prince album by a long shot, but I have great respect for it.

Meanwhile, I have to give Emancipation some credit...I've rarely heard two people agree on their favorite songs or discs. I happen to think Disc III is the strongest, followed by Disc I. I don't even listen to Disc II. I thought the songs were weak when it initially came out, and now I think it's depressing to boot, considering the fate of his marriage and his child. The whole disc seems jinxed to me. But other people love it. Go figure. The entire set is just one big Rorschach test, proof positive that musical tastes are subjective. Nice.

Gum...why don'tcha chew that baby?

I do too..."Come", for me, is a better album than ATWIAD...I just wish it didn't end with "Orgasm"...(I bet a LOT of women have said the same thing, but for different reasons...heh)

wellbeyond said something that I agreed with.

LoL..you all do, sooner or later... 8)

- NO! At least Come has some great musicianship in some tracks, and it didnt have the massive presence of Kirky Johnson. ´For You´ is an special album for me. It´s more cohesive than ´Prince´ IMO (there are some great songs on the later, but the ballads are annoying)...
For me, the weakest is NPS, followed by Graffiti Bridge and Batman

The problem about ´Come´is the same that happened to ´Chaos´ and ´The Vault´ and ´Gold´...Prince was fighting WB! So, he wasnt wanting to release a masterpiece album, and he left many good songs as ´Interactive´ as outtakes.
I always get frustrated when I listen to ´The Vault´ because it´s one of my fave albums, but the songs are so short...he could have included many more, like ´I´ll do anything´ and ´I cant love u anymore´ and other jazzy stuff from his Vault

Come is a Great album to me. Always did like it. I think probably my least favorite would be Grafitti bridge, because it is so dated. I hear it, and I think 1990. Same with Diamonds and Pearls. And although a couple of other albums of his have this same quality, none nearly as much as Grafitti Bridge.

There is something I like about all of his albums though.

Hell No!! This is one of my favorite albums! Not in top 5 but I love it to death.

Come is a great album i love every single song on it.

Come has a solid place in my Prince collection. What a great CD to chill out by, play in the background with friends, during dinner, or more loudly with someone special...It's among my most cherished CDs.

Sad to see Graffiti Bridge mentioned here. Any CD that has the brilliance of "We Can Funk" and "Joy in Repetition" can't be that bad.

For me, Chaos and Disorder (I think he was pissed) and For You (pisses ME off that I'm not musically savvy enough to predict his genius from this initial effort) are the dogs.

COME is one of my favorite albums.. I had the Black Album before, but when he released them a few months apart (contractual reasons or not) they seemed to complement each other.. By far, the darkest albums he's released. My girlfriend at the time described COME as "Audio Sex"...
