Without a doubt! Again, like true Prince fashion, the man is ahead of the times. This is really a great buy a little preachy but in time you will look back on this investment and say " Dang, I'm glad I got this" Go buy it. Buy one for a friend to!!

THAT ALONE SHOULD...um, I mean, that alone should cause you to want to buy it...

It's a great, musically brilliant album in my opinion...the lyrics do get a bit too goofy and obscure at times, making it hard to connect and relate to the things Prince sings about at times...(although "She Loves Me 4 Me" is easy for me to relate to...I'd love to be able to say those very same things someday... smile )...

The album was not my favorite of mine initially. It grows on you, however (altered voice and all). Good Musically, interesting lyrically, it's a significant upgrade over New Power Soul & Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic in terms of production.

Actually, I thought this album should have been formatted very similarly to Lovesexy (as one continuous track), but then I remembered...


Wedding Feast (truly the worst Prince track in years)!!!sad

Oh well,

Peace

Music is Good...the voiceovers threaten to derail the whole project.

A definate must own. It is a departure from Prince of old, but I think a good one. It has class, is tasteful, musicly masterful, the lyrics are a witness to the positive influence his religious and spiritual journey has had upon him even though they remain very symbolic and not preachy in my opinion. Many I have recommended this album to as well as myself have really enjoyed it.

one thing that should be said about the lyrics to TRC...

many people have said that the lyrics are too preachy, goofy or just plain out there. everyone is entitled to their opinion and they should be respected, however...

you have to admit, as goofy, out there or whatever you want to call it, they are very cleverly put together. i feel that one can enjoy the flow, even if you don't agree with the idea. and maybe, this may be a stretch, you can even be impressed with the way he has chosen to arrange his message. you may not dig the content, but you can still respect the delivery...

by the way, i dig the whole thing...

It is a good album. It is in the form of a rock opera.
It has a scarry monster voice on it that narrates the story but I try to ignore it.

if you like albums as a whole, then definately get it...

if you only like commercial stuff, then maybe not...

if you are secure enough in your own beliefs and can jam on music regardless, get it...

if you are looking to prince for a license to do whatever you please in life and have expectations of who he should be, better not...

if you can really appreciate an eclectic array of sounds and ideas as only prince can deliver, betta head to the wrecka stow right now...

and finally, if you have truly been listening to prince over the years (especially in betwwen the lines) and you want to hear the first real "prince" album in years, get it and then try to listen to it all the way through the first time...


Yup right on the money, everything pete just said. I suggest you go to your nearest Best Buy and purchase. Here in Detroit, Wrecka Stows like FYE, Sam Goody etc are charging 20.00. At Best Buy it's 13.99, beautiful!
