Why do people hate on COME?

This has always confused me. Personally I think Come is amongst his best work of the 90's. From a pure production standpoint it's nearly flawless (listen to space for reference). It's a dark record with great songs and highly creative. It has aged remarkably well and I'm surprised he doesn't play any other these tracks at aftershows. Different strokes for Different folks I guess. What are your thoughts, or am I the crazy one (wouldn't be the first time)? I mean these great songs:

Come
Space
Pheramone- what the hell is this song about?
Pappa
Dark
Solo- yes this song is vastly underrated here. Vocal performance is amazing.


maybe it's me. I mean I also think Controversy is a better album than Dirty Mind I seem to be in the minority there as well.

I have Solo on repeat right now. I can play this one for hours!! Literally!! It's so peaceful to me with his voice and the harp. faint love smile

I really like the come album. It is one of my favorites of the small collection that I do have. smile

I don't know why people hate on Come, it's a great album! i love the overall mood and feeling of it.

Prince's vocal performance on "Solo" is really refreshing.

"Papa" gave me chills when I first heard it.
i love the lyrics..."if u love somebody, your life won't be in vain and there's always a rainbow, at the end of every rain."


"Space" is a great track too. cool

Come is a very good album. Come, Space, Pheromone, Papa, Dark and Letitgo.

...but Dirty Mind is better than Controversy.

Come is generally referred to as a throw away record. I don't need to substantiate it. You can do a search where people rank all albums. Come usually comes in pretty low.

Sorry, just weak cd to me. I don't mind papa and letitgo but just don't mind- don't love the songs. Whole cd seems like filler to me when you compare it to most of his work.

Personally speaking I don't consider any Prince cd a throw away record, but myabe I've just been chugging down the purple Kool Aide a little too often hmmm
Seriously though, everyone's personal opinion of each ablum is going to be different. It amazes me how we beat up on each other because someone likes something that the other person dosent rolleyes

I prefer the rockier version of 'come'. The big vamp at the end is incredible.

I love Come. In fact, I love it so much that for the last four days, I've been working on a follow-up to my hit Come-threads of a few years back. It will be the Ultimate Come-thread. So stay tuned for that. biggrin
