Rebeljuice

4/5
A brilliant album split in two halves with a more traditional first half and a sublime, atmospheric second half as good as anything he has done before.

1/5

Worst non instrumental album of his career, essentially eurodance with dull rnb, and a disguised instrumental cover of forbidden Colours called Way back home.

5/5

Classic Prince circa 2014. His best since Lovesexy.

4/5

Thick poppy funk diluted with souful & stripped down ballads both seductive & soul searching.

2/5 More formulaic plastic R&B lite with no memorable songs.

I can't really make up my mind about the album to be honest. I do genuinely think it is a step in the right direction ( a different sound and a little more experimentation), but something in the back of my mind keeps nagging about exactly what you've just mentioned here. confused

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

2/5 better than all his really bad albums, but only hints at the greatness of his golden era due to a co producer writing the music on the songs that don't completely suck from prince inane lyrics and redundant music

IMO it's the most enjoyable & cohesive album since Emancipation. Funky, quirky Prince has finally returned.

Get well soon Rosie Gaines (the most awesome vocalist P has worked with).

5/5. One beautiful funky trip.

I'm struggling to find a fault with it, the only one is maybe the placement of Funknroll in the running order.

This album is the best album I've heard since Outkast's Speakerboxx/The love Below

This, and also pretentious.

LOL. 100% disagree apart from AOC but totally hilarious comment nonetheless!! 4/5 IMO it's the most enjoyable & cohesive album since Emancipation. Funky, quirky Prince has finally returned. Get well soon Rosie Gaines (the most awesome vocalist P has worked with).

Better than I had hoped, and I had high hopes!

I can't help but wonder about outtakes, maybe we'll get some good B-Sides

2.5 out of 5. A few interesting ideas, but too many down-tempo fillers towards the end of the album.

3.5/5. Fun, challenging and experimental with successful collaborations. Its not a classic because 2 tracks are shite and the rest are jumbled.

4.5/5

I'm sure this album will grow on me over time but it is really good, it's probably his best since Emancipation or Musicology, I love it listening to it now as I type this.
