Nope, its too polished and calculated.

Chaos and Disorder (minus the last two songs) is a far better 'guitar record'.

Nah - but it not bad

Am going to combine the best of the 2 albums and make one killer single disc - now that will rock that funk

Undertaker was a far better guitar record as a whole. This has good guitar on it. But the production weighs even that down on several tracks. Still like Dreamer even if a Hendrix swipe. Hendrix swiped too- we just don't have those old blues dudes on cd

Its the guitar record I've been waiting for.

Much better than that fisher priced lazy Chaos n Disorder rock.

i'm forced to conclude that there are disturbing undertones to all this hate for 'the undertaker' and 'chaos and disorder'

It's definately the guitar record I've been waiting for

This album actually brought a 50 yr old(grandfather) out in the open again, he now also has Lotus Flow3r. He's heavily into guitar work and was a big fan of Prince's For U - Lovesexy music


I love this album more than Minneapolis Sound now

From the Lotus
Boom
Crimson & Clover
Love Like Jazz
77 Beverly Pk.
Wall of Berlin
$
Dreamer

are my favorites

He Should've added Habibi and Redhead Stepchild ...Empty Room would've been nice....Im happy with this cd either way.

Oh come on, I disagree with that statement too, but I encourage everyone to speak their minds, even if it not how i feel.

PFUNK and turn me loose wouldve made the whole set above and beyond anyone else

Turn Me Loose was extremely weak in my opinion.. I'm glad that didn't make it

OK, i had to be careful about this one, but for those of you that think undertaker is crap, here is something else

http://www.youtube.com/wa...re=related

Now dont tell me Maceo aint good on the sax

BTW is that Larry Graham giving Maceo grief

PS the sax solo reminds me alot of that in King Curtis´s last performance "A whiter shade of pale"

For me, Lotusflow3r is TRC pt.II with a bid of SOTT.
There are many songs on Lotusflow3r that would also fit on TRC.
If there just would have been The work part2 on Lotusflow3r

So to say, i really like Lotusflow3r, but it isn´t the "guitar record"
i have waited for so long...

Get the 28th august 2007 aftershow bootleg, that should satisfy the wait, although a few of the songs come from chaos N disorder, which alot of old skool-hardcore Prince fans dont rate as a guiter album.

Whitnail said:

Yeah i have that and it´s good, although i would rather like to see this as an official release.
Honestly, i am not that much into the "I want a pure guitar record" like others.
"Dreamer" from Loutusflow3r is what i call a very good "rock" guitar song as well as "Fury", although the studio version sounds a bid sterile.

funny thing about the ones that want that is, they got it in "the truth" from the crystal ball album.

Dreamer is an ode to Hendrix, no matter what way one looks at, and would have fitted perfectly on Chaos N Disorder, very similiar to Zannalee.

Lotusflow3r is a very curious prince album, as you say, it has its taints of TRC running thru it, but I think it also confirms, there will never be a Purple Rain 2, Prince learned a valuable lesson with that, never give the record companies what they want at your own expense, and in his case this was artistic freedom.

It has taken me yrs to figure that out properly, but he has been very successful doing it.

Whitnail said:

Yes, i fully agree on that. And this is what makes it so exciting.

Philly76 said:

Ok, now do me a favour and explain why you gave MPLSound 10/10, I would give it subjectively 6/10, but i know, its different tastes for different folks, but I am very curious why this album appears to be more popular than Lotusflow3r.
