this sounds so promising

"Emancipation", closely followed by "Come". "Emancipation" is the worst though, for the sheer quantity.

How "come" people say "Come" is bad? The title track "Come", "Pheremone", "Papa" are GREAT tracks... even "Loose"... I liked "God" so I like "Solo" as well...

Don't know. Don't forget "Dark" and "Letitgo".

It's not a "worst album" thing..more a case of general quality control over the past 15 years.....

okay i'm gonna flow with u 4 minute and want 2 know how is it possible 2 compare what he's done 15 years ago 2 now? should he still sound like he did back 15 years ago and continue doing the same thing over and over?

L4OATheOriginal said:

Not at all!

That's exactly my point...I wish he'd do something new and exciting!

In chronological order:

New Power Soul 4/10
The Rainbow Children 5/10

How come so many in here say Come is a good (or great) record even?

Apart from the songs Papa, Letitgo and Dark (mediocre to good) the quality of the songwriting on this album is very poor, the production is lazy, the deliverance is mostly on auto-pilot / bored sounding even.

Its like he put a random selection of third-rate outtakes / demo's together and called it an album.

5/10

In my opinion every album since and including Emancipation are utter rubbish - too hard to pick just one.

wow!

tough crowd

I agree w/ this completely, although I'd add "Come On" as another good track from NPS. The rest is largely unlistenable.

I totally disagree; Come is terrific, IMHO. It vies with TGE for my favorite of his 90's albums. I don't see the production as lazy at all. Space, for instance, has a great vibe to it.. i love the breathing woven in through the music and background, gives it a really nice feel... and Dark is one of his best old-school soul ballads. Pheromone is smokin hot ferocious sexy funk, and Loose is just wild. Solo is stark, haunting, and unlike anything else he's ever done. I personally think Come is highly underrated and a hidden gem.

"Come" and "Pheremone" are more listened to at this point by me then anything off of Parade or Purple Rain. "Pheremone" has so much production detail and ORIGINAL mood and structure that was still listening to it two days ago in the car.
