PrintableTRC is a great cd. I am not a JW nor am I the least bit religious, but I do love this cd. | |

Moonie, I'm not sure I understand. Do you equate best with quality, or preference? It sounds like you equate best with preference given that you rate The Rainbow Children with 5 stars i.e. of the highest quality. Ah, I guess that makes sense.  | |

bullshit... 1999: the new master is the best album of prince's career.
you have kirky j, tony m, and larry graham all on the same cd! what else could you possibly ask for? well, except replacing rosario dawson with tina graham... that would've been sweet!  | |

By quality, it gets 5 stars. By my own personal taste, it would get 4. | |

I have to agree with a bunch of you, it isn't all that great. While it may be his best album since SOTT, that is a sad statement... according to you, he hasn't come out with ANYTHING in the last 15 years that compares to a mediocre jazz fusion album! Damn. There are a few good tracks on TRC, but to say it is his best in a decade and a half? Wow. Prince should retire if that is the case.
TRC gets 2 stars out of 5. A classic? Nope. Overall, good effort Prince. Not great. The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.

Anji said: The vocals, the instrumentation, the lyrics, the attitude. It's a fucking masterpiece!
 The instrumentation is great but, honestly, I find the whole work to be a big bore, imo. I gave it a spin just a couple of nights ago to give it another chance and ... nada. I'd choose Rave (Special Edition) over TRC any day. | |

IstenSzek said: I also count it as one of his very very best but somehow
there is something in my system that doesn't allow me to pick any album over Parade or Sign or Lovesexy. I don't know what it is. Some indefinite voice in the back of my mind that says "blaspheme against the trinity and u shall be struck by lightning next time u take ur fucking dog for a walk mothafucka". So I'll just say TRC is a brilliant album.  Co-sign, only replace Parade and Lovesexy with 1999 and Purple Rain... Oh, hell, keep Lovesexy in there, too... | |

P.S: by saying TRC is my favorite album I not necessarily mean it is his best or most innovative album. It's just the one I've been enjoying most since it came out... RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time... |

I find it very bizarre that anyone could put TRC amongst Prince's best albums. I mean, if you're into that type of music, then I guess I can understand the attraction, but to put it over 1999, Purple Rain, Parade, SOTT, etc. well that's sheer madness. TRC is in my opinion, a complete piece of foulness that should have been erased. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

Dippydippydope said: You knuckleheads don't understand that he is fucking with you. TRC is a shitty album and he was just doing a chump count of who will belly up to the table every time Prince takes a steaming dump on a plate. hahahahaahahahaha.
You're an idiot. You're entitled to your opinion on TRC, sure. But you're still a bloody idiot. It's one of his best albums. You couldn't approach the funk on "The Work" or the pure emotion on "Last December" on the funkingest day of your life if you had an electrified funking machine! If you honestly believe that Prince was just "fucking with fams" with this brilliant piece of music, then someone's evidently been fucking with your Kool-Aid. The Normal Whores Club | |

EvilWhiteMale - ur evil!!
TRC is a good album. Not his best ever - but then I don't know I could easily say that any of his albums are THE best ever. I am still waiting for a Prince album I can listen to all the way through apart from Purple Rain. | |

Wow. Really? You don't listen to "Parade" all the way through? Or "SOTT"? Or... anything since "Purple Rain"? Interesting. Funnily enough, even with that annoying fucking voiceover, I found "TRC" to be the first Prince album in several years that I listened to all the way through. I've heard many folks here claim the opposite about it, but I find the whole experience really rewarding. The Normal Whores Club | |

I get the feeling we'll never again have a Prince album that we can listen to all the way through like the good ol days. Some people feel TRC is just as good as the early masterpieces Well, to each his own. I'll save my money."You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy."

I actually tried to listen to TRC straight through when I downloaded them, but I just started getting sick. I made a few attempts, but then gave up and deleted them. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "

That's for sure. There's not one song on there I can listen to, not one. I never thought the day would come. "You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." "
