I am sure that the CDs 'Come' and 'Chaos and Disorder' were just made to fulfill his contract.Look at the last songs on these albums,they're not really "songs" at all..."Orgasm" is a joke,and so is "Had U".Usually,Prince's albums end with a kickass final song.So,that kinda shows me that he was intentionally holding back on these two albums.

im so with u,I Like it There hit me so hard when i bought that album.to tell the truth,the cover pics turned me off buying it,but then it was out cheap so i surrendered.
I Like It There is right next 2 Peach on any Prince mix i put 2gether.

I said it once and I'll say it again this album is Great. I love it the songs are really cool. I play it all the time. Warner Brothers should have pushed and promoted this album better it's a seriously under-rated album.

I think one of the problems with this album was that the fans knew in advance that Prince was just fullfilling his contract and hadn't spent much time putting it together, people were saying it was a 'throw-away' album before they'd even heard it, not helped by the liner notes about the tracks not originally intended to be released ie. not upto par.

Personally, I love about half of it and I'm indifferent to the other half, there's some great funky fun tracks but it doesn't flow as an album very well.

I have fond memories of it because I bought it in San Francisco when it first came out, I was there on my only visit to the USA and proceeded to listen to it on a Thelma and Louise style car trip over to New Mexico, passing through various Indian reservations. I always think of that when I hear 'Right the Wrong'

"An Indian woman buried her grampa in the Black Hills
When she was young he used to tell her
That these hills belonged to her still
and even though injustice took them hills away
"One day we'll get them back," he said
"and the sun's gonna shine that day"
"When we say, right the wrong"

Before she laid him down to rest
She heard his voice in the wilderness
Sayin "I got six feet of it back"
"and now we can right the wrong"
