Nov 20, 2001 - The Rainbow Children CD released in retail.

A year to the day, and still it's consistently in my CD player. No other Prince album has grown on me in the way TRC has - it's an amazing album.

I can't wait to hear his next 'real' album (ie. not piano, live, instrumental). So come on, Prince, what's next?

A true Prince Masterpiece. It has single handedly rejuvinated my belief in Prince. So much poor material has been released over the last couple of years that I needed this one badly.
I'll not be foolish enough to be writing him off again.

Wow, it's been a year already?

Considering that "TRC" was complete by the second celebration and most of the "One Nite Alone" album was recorded in 2000 Prince has not given us any new music in a long time. I wonder what he has been doing?

Happy Birthday TRC...nice of you to introduce Prince in a return to form. Lick

Today is also my birthday. I turn 20.

Happy birthday TRC. A excellent CD still
playing it

Listening to it now in my computer.

*visit the 'helping our boy wonder' thread*

Damn, it HAS been a year!

This CD has been in constant rotation for me, and it seems like I hear something new every time.

Classic!! A True Classic!!

I've never written him off, because I knew what he was capable of. Even with all the by-the-numbers, lazy songs he released over the last decade. Prince had just about taken me through the gamut of emotions regarding his talent: he can be either the most frustrating musician on the planet, then turn around and remind me why I believe he's the most gifted of his generation.

out of respect that P is a Jehovah Witness,i will not wish it happy birthday,but congratulate it on being a wonderful,musically masterpiecic (if thats a word) album that has grown on me lots,in certain stages.
SensualEverafter is one of the most beautiful & electrifying peices of music i have ever heard,best thing from TRC
thanx 4 another classic Mr Nelson

I´ll never forget the first time I listened to this album the in my room. And yes, it has been a year already. I´ve listened to this record the whole year long and it´s easily one of my favourite Prince-albums. I was so glad to hear him back in form. Can´t wait for the box-set!

Lovemachine said it right. This has really been around for almost 2 and a half years. Prince please give us something else, Iam so sick of this.
What's so great about She Loves me for me and the Mellow song and Muse to the Pharoh?, not to mention the voice before every song? These three songs on this cd is some of the most blah stuff that Prince has ever released.

After he releases the live album I hope it doesn't take him another 2 years to give us something new.

Music for christians.

Not at all. Just music. Fantastic music

Fantastic music? For sure.

But the lyrics were never gonna allow the album a broader audience. A real shame. It deserved a much better fate.

ok, the next person to start a 'happy birthday'thread to one of prince's albums is getting dropped in the alligator moat.
