this should be funnier/juicier than the '80s thread

or perhaps an overall more frustrating/miserable experience

GRAFFITI BRIDGE

I dislike the entire album/approach other than Question of You, Joy in Repetition, Elephants & Flowers, and of course Thieves in the Temple (which feels like the lesser of all his 78-92 classics)

[Edited 11/3/14 8:51am]

so, nobody?

Graffiti Bridge: Tick, Tick, Bang ( the 1980/81 version kicks this one's ass so hard. I hate it)

The Latest Fashion isn't all that either.

I'll keep this restricted to Prince music only ^

.

Diamonds & Pearls: Willing & Able (overrated and unspectacular. Slows the album down).

Jughead

Push

D&P's best moments are breathtaking, but the album as a whole's so uneven.

.

Symbol: Arrogance (wtf is this)

The Sacrifice of Victor (filler type ending)

3CoG grew on me, it's okay.

.

Come: Race (even though Come is a deeply flawed & confusing album. I make my own edit of it)

.

Gold: We March (filler, filler, filler..)

.

The Vault: The Rest of My Life

.

Rave: Rave, Everyday's a Winding Road

.

I skipped Emancipation and Crystal Ball because jeez those two albums are just too long atm. As a whole though, I have to say I loved P's 90s work

How can any Prince fan not like I Love U But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore?

There are a few, contrasts to my 80s list, in which there are hardly any songs until Batman. The list includes stuff I really don't like. I have not included fair or meh! quality songs and there are a lot in the 90s.

.

GB - Quite a few here, Release it, Tick tick bang, Melody Cool, Love Machine, The latest fashion, Graffiti Bridge (Even if u can call this 90s, most of it was written in the 80s)

.

Diamonds and Pearls - Only Jughead

.

Love symbol - Arrogance, The Flow, all the segues

.

Hits Bsides new trax - Pope

.

Come - Solo

.

TGE - None, it is an amazing album

.

Chaos and Disorder - I rock therefore I am

.

Emancipation - We gets up, Mr Happy, Facedown, Da da da, The Plan, Friend mother sister whatever the fuck its called, Slave, New World, Human Body, Lets have a baby, Joint 2 Joint.

.

The Truth - Man in a uniform

.

Crystal Ball - Make your momma happy, get loose

.

New power soul - Freaks on this side, push it up, Soo bed ooh, When u love someone, until ure back in my arms, Mad sex, Eye like funky music

.

The Vault - None all of it at least meh!

.

Rave - Prettyman, So far so pleased, I love u but don't trust u anymore - boring shit,

.

Exodus - a great album, ruined by all the stupid as fuck segues.

.

Kamasutra - all of it, it is boring lift music.

Because it's overwrought and silly? Of course 'Let's Have A Baby' takes the '90s prize there, but still...

I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore is a devastating masterpiece.

You have no heart.

[Edited 11/5/14 6:42am]

never understood why some people tried/try to elevate I Love U But I don't bla bla to the realm of classics...

it's just ONE OF THE MANY adult-contempary/modern R&B so-so ballads he made from 1996 to 2000...

GRAFFITI BRIDGE

Title track I guess. It's just syruping and ick - but hey I know it word for word I even do Mavis' parts, so...

DIAMONDS & PEARLS

Jughead I suppose, other than that nothing. I can live without Insatiable (yet another icky cookie-cutter luuuurv ballad), Cream (overplayed I guess) and something about Live 4 Love has always felt off to me, but it's OK.

LOVESYMBOLALBUM

The Flow, again I suppose - I still listen to it if I'm playing the album. My inner Tony M is there for sure, I love how Prince's mind works where THIS is his version of rap, some MC Hammer clone in a rock opera about an Egyptian Princess who's been groomed for years by a paedophile rockstar, genius! Can't hate it.

COME

Nadda

THE GOLD EXPERIENCE

We March. I'm going on a protest march to have this song erased from history.

CHAOS & DISORDER

Dig U Better Dead, I Rock Therefore I Am, duh. Embarassed for him, bless.

EMANCIPATION

I Can't Make U Love Me, Mr Crappy, Da Da Da, Curious Child, FLSMW (autopilot luuurv ballad and totally icky), Slave (self-pitying tripe from a world famous multi-millionaire), title track (what a let down of a title track of the "album he was born to make" - pathetic attempt really, really no effort made whatsoever, that's when I often don't like something, a lack of effort to do something interesting).

THE TRUTH

Animal Kindom, not crazy about Fascination, One Of Your Tears, Don't Play Me (more self-pitying cum-rag material).

CRYSTAL BALL

Poom Poom - utter shit, it's like MPLSound condensed into one song, hideous. An Honest Man (we got the SHIT version guys!), superfluous remixes and Make Your Mama Happy is very meh, he was clearly holding back the decent mid-80s stuff and threw a bone with this boring slop.

RAVE UN2 THE JOY FANTASTIC

Everything except ILUBIDTUA. Any track that isn't outright terrible is either boring, thoughtless or lacking any spark or energy - or all of the above. Everything is auto-pilot even the "quirky" moments are there to be purposefully eclectic. Yuck, yuck, yuck. And the title track is complete tosh, it was unreleased for a reason. Of all the great 80s unreleased songs to base a comeback project around he chooses one from the very tailend of the 80s. In fact this one track sums up the EXACT moment when he went off the boil creatively. Flatter than a prepubescent girl who just got steamrolled crossing the road on Shrove Tuesday.

Rave title track is one of his best 80s outtakes imo. I think it's one of the most avant-garde songs he's ever recorded. His vocal delivery is on point, very freaky and edgy.

Facedown - Boring and morose rap, takes more than a motherfucker or two for me to like a song.

.

New World, Human body - bad early 90s style dance tracks that have dated badly sound like Madonna remixes from c.1991

.

Joint 2 Joint, ruined by all the jabbering in spanish and the sex me chick.

.

Last song, seriously overwrought and silly ballad, Prince can really kill a ballad, besides the I don't like songs, theres a lot of very mediocre filler on Emancipation.

.

1996 to 2000 was probably his flattest period, autotune and bad rapping along with sugary sickly sweet ballads and plastic drums everywhere!!!!!
