Wow.. The Gold Experience is the Sign O' The Times of the 90's...

Excellent album all the way through - so many styles and genres, so impressive.. 10/10 maximum

The Gold Experience IS in my opinion a subpar Prince album...i am NOT a fool...

Totally agree. His output during the mid 90's was so mediocre, that when most fans listened to TGE they thought it was the best thing he's ever done...

Why don't you listen to Phase Two and get your own opinion from it. It's a good album in my opinion and the reviews on here seem to be postive if you can get past the trolls who post the same shit about everything.

I thought the animation represented wanking, as in you are pulling yourself with that view

I don't know about that "nutso" animation. You could argue that the melody and playfulness "All The Midnights in the World" comes from the same Universe as "A Place in Heaven", for example.

Because the good to bad ratio is overwhelmingly good but there are still some bad albums?

Probably has something to do with how prolific Prince has been and how many albums he's released. Most musicians of any stature at all haven't even released 10 albums TOTAL, let alone enough material to whittle down and weed out the 10 bad ones.

Unless this is the "Love Everything Prince Does" Forum and I didn't get the memo. In which case, I'll show myself out and let everyone continue the circle jerk.

edit: Planet Earth is just the worst. I don't count Karmasutra and a few others as even really being Prince albums. But Planet Earth was the first time I was just flat out fucking bored and also the first time I really noticed the song writing suffering. I guess I noticed some of it on Rave and Emancipation but I found enough stuff there to keep me interested. PE is just wall to wall BORING and uninspired. There's not a gem on it. I never play it. The whole thing is just flat and weak sounding.

Say what you want about Rave, Emancipation, 20Ten or H&R Phase 1, there's at least a few tracks on all of them that resonate and feel inspired.
