Great Album, he released this before Gold Exp.

Welcome to Famville!





I don't play it that much, but I might give it a blast later.

Thanks for the reminder.

I liked it too. Was Mayte the female voice on the cd?

hooray, more love for an awesome album.

my all time favourite prince cd, such an awesome album, made better by the fact that i thought it wouldnt be too special, how wrong i was, was blown away.

come, space, loose, letigo, solo...works of art, even orgasm is an ace closer. has such a cool edge to it...classic.

I believe the song "Come" is one of the most awesome pieces of music prince has ever created... then ended is just like a huge massive orgasm lol good old prince... tho as much as i want to hate this album, i love it

Classic Prince album??? Damn Right!

Love it.

Wow. 6 1/2 people agree with you PES. A "classic" indeed.

Come and Let Me Lick Your Pussy are 2 of my favorites to dim the lights and get my thang on! Glad U enjoy that funk right there

I love this album

And the title cut

Pheromone, Letitgo and Dark are all commendable but the rest of the album is bland, repetetive and rides the tide of utter mediocrity.
Loose is as pathetic an attempt to sound relevant to a current musical fad as Jughead. I was thankful the Prince persona was dead after this release because it was evident he'd run out of ideas. Unfortunately he's risen again, found Jehovah and provided us with three of the most trite recordings of his career with Musicology, 3121 and the dreadful Planet Earth.

It's a fantastic album, except for Orgasm, which is awful. But the rest of it is great.

SOLO is one of the best songs that he has ever produced.

Granted. But a "classic album" that does not make. Especially on Prince terms.

AvramsDad said:

Yeah...I wouldn't call it a "classic" either.

it definately has moments....

I remember buying it when it came out and the dude at the record store said something along the lines..."This is got to be some of his worst music"...I was like dude, shut the hell up and take my money...after I played it, I thought, damn, ol' boy was kinda right...

it's got some alright songs but not a classic, in my opinion...Space is the only song I listen to with any regularity...

There's great music on this under rated albume/cd. My fave is "Space", very sexual.
and I love "Dark".

Standing up against Musicology, 3121 & Planet Earth, Come is a better album. Against Sign o' the Times, Parade or Even Gold? No chance. About as classic as a Big Mac.

agree 100% about the title track.one of my personal faves.the rest of the album is decent.especially "papa","space"(love the remixes,too),"dark" and "loose".i loved "solo" the first time i heard it.cuz it was so weird.now it's just alright."pheromone" however is my least favorite prince song of all time.i don't know why but i can't stand this song and it completely screws up the album for me.second rate "classic".would have been something of a first-rate one without "pheromone" imo."come"(the song)is definitely a prince classic in my book.

For Come to ba a classic Prince album, it would also have to be a classic album per se. I really don't think it is. There are a few songs that I like but I don't think anyone (other than an over eager Prince fan) would consider them classics.

So, it's a 'no' from me

I really like this album.
def top 5 for me for Prince's work.

i love it. 9/10! there r some real beautys here

not 2 sure about the beach sound effects & shakespeare type rambling...

he could have had so much fun with orgasm. i wish he'd made it more rampant.

No, I don't think so! I believe it may have been Vanity. The credits say 'She knows' or something. I'm sure there are loads of people on here who have much more idea than me though

I love this album too

Yep. Wonder album, but probably not his best.

its alright. my main criticism would be that it really, really drags in places if you listen to it all the way through. dark and come are both too long (come especially so), and letitgo and loose are boring and monotonous. papa is good, pheremone is good, space is ok, solo is...interesting. i love race, though i know generally it's not regarded highly at all by fans. the whole album has a totally weird, paranoid, creepy vibe though which i sort of dig.

i think its a shame he had all his contractual bullshit going on at the same time as the come/gold experience/ulysses/the dawn sessions. he could have made a great double album that was both experimental and commercial if all the songs from that period were combined.

I believe the story is that he wanted to release Come and The Gold Experience simultaneously with Come being his old material and TGE being /new material. WB wouldn't allow that and so began "the battle for the masters/against contracts". The music from both albums were recorded in the same couple of years and the material has been flip-flopped around a lot of times before both were cut and released a year apart.

Early on, after I finally got the gist of it, TGE was my favorite album and I didn't think anything else could over take it. For some strange reason, I got Come and once I "got" it... which took me a lot less time than TGE... the two have kinda been in a rivalry as my favorite album.

I get the feeling that Come is underrated by a lot of people. The last time I listened to it, I think I was just getting off pouring over my paper, so I wasn't quite into it. That's been the 2nd time where it took me until close to the end for me to get into it.

The least I can say anymore is that this album is in my Top 6, but it might be ranked 5th or 6th within those parameters based on that last listen.

I love the experimental edge it has. The title track gets better as it goes on, Space is amazingly beautiful, Pheromone is fun, Loose! is edgy-techno which I dig. Papa is a bit sad, but good all the same. Race I think I liked less than I did because now I own the album and I like the record scratch better on "Continental".
Dark is one of the ultimate-growers. It took me 4EVER to really get into it and like it... but its one of the best done of the songs. Solo is a little hard to listen to at times... I've heard the album many times and it always makes me feel the same... it really gives you goosebumps.
Letitgo is my hands-down favorite, always has been. It's a lot of fun and I love the percussion he uses on it.
And as strange as it sounds, with the segues that run thru the album, Orgasm just works for me. I understand why he put that in there. Ties things together very nicely.

It's a lot tighter than TGE with all the tracks running together as one with the same vibe throughout... but TGE has a couple of tracks that just stand out a lot more as classics (...then again, Shh & Dolphin were slated for Come originaly... and yes, I still believe Gold is a classic and it knocks out nearly all of the tracks on Come 4 me).

The first song I listened to off of this album was "Pheromone" and I was hooked!! I love mostly the whole album, the only thing that I don't listen to on there is "Orgasm" and another 1!
