LOL. I mean take a chance and listen to Rainbow Children again!!

As many have pointed out the change of sound, trying to do something different is what makes this album outstanding.

The lyrics may be confronting to many, but Prince has always been preaching. Anyone can take what they want from the lyrics, I just take the music.

I always play this album back to back with the Black Album, so I dont come under the spell.

The album is fairly poor for Prince standards. Too much Darth vader and too much JW nonsense. The only true classics on the album are The Work Pt.1, 1+1+1 is 3 and The Everlasting Now.

I like that list, I see it all the time here. But my one's better.

I don't want to throw the music critic card on this one, but I have to more than agree with the music critics on this one. Even omitting the ton of mostly negative reviews, Meta Critic gives this one a low 54. If they actually compiled more national music critics it would be a hell of a lot lower.

I can't help it. I have even given this really dumbed down piece of work more than enough spins, and just cannot get into it. Cheers, or rather my condolences to those than can tolerate it.

I would put this at the bottom of Prince albums next to MnplSound. MnplSound which received a much higher 62 on MetaCritic

Every time these RBC threads come up, I am tempted to give it yet another shot. But the only shot i have left for that album is through my skull, and I am too young and have too many unfinished things left to do for that.

In that case, yes, you should shoot yourself. But don't delay, do it today, do it now!

I'm sure you love Crapology, 3121 farts, Planet Dirt, 20Turds.... right?

Most folks completely missed the point of this music project.

I had a total brain-melt over what the hell that was.

TRC is the official abbreviation, and any deviation, will be met with no celebration.

Totally love TRC, thanks 2 u guys. When it first came out I hated it. When I join this site and kept reading the comments behind it, I would give it a try until one day it clicked. I could not believe the beautiful music of this album. 2 me its one of his best ever albums. It gets more play than any other cd I have of him.

Yeah, the "the work and 1+1+1=3 are the only good tracks" attitude is a lazy one. Like saying Kiss is the only standout on Parade - FAIL.

I don't Musicology, but it's still a good album - and a 1/2

I 3121, but there are a few filler tracks -

Planet Earth has mostly average songs -

And I think 20Ten is possibly his worst album. Either that or Rave. -

So you think that Mellow, Everywhere and Wedding Feast are top notch Prince songs.

It's on my public profile in chronological order (except New Power Soul is in the wrong place), so no best to worst yet.

Each to their own, I guess.

I've done that many times, I've just got a different opinion than you.

NDRU said:

It was like he picked up the baton that had been dropped since 1990. For the first time since Graffiti Bridge, Prince sounded like Prince again.

I don't think Prince sounded like Prince again until 3121.

Ok, you freaks can like "TRC" all you like, but putting in the same sentence as Parade is the ultimate "FAIL"

I would NEVER put those two on the same level - just saying picking the most obvious 'funk/pop' songs on an album as it's only saving grace is lazy.

Parade is on a whole other level to pretty much any other P. album out there

Oh, you beat me here. I was about to edit out the "freaks" and "fail" part and soften the post a bit.

I do not care about you guys liking TRC. Enjoy. That's what music is about. And sorry about the "freaks" and "fail" that is beneath me.

I think so too, along with ATWIAD.
