Hmmm.. I dont know. I wouldnt mess with that one. SOTT is the one album which sound I`d consider the least dated. Are you serious? The least? I love that album too, but Dorothy Parker needs a makeover and Housequake isn't hittin' anymore. Its the live drums which are missing. I agree. "Peace and Benz -- The future, made in Germany"  | |

I love this album, and in many ways feel that Prince delivered what I've always hoped he would. I was absolutely ecstatic as I listened to it the first time through my headphones. It blew me away. BUT, as much as Prince is incredible, he also possesses a great ability to disappoint, since he covers so many styles of music and likes to constantly change his sound. This means he'll never keep all of his fans happy. Hearing about "Musicology" is exciting, and I know excitement is what I should be feeling about a new Prince release, but instead, I feel scared. Scared that he will never reach the heights that I believe he touched on TRC. Basically I guess I'm scared that this new track is going to sound like the god-awful New Power Soul tripe. Please.  i agree trc is a great album, at first i didnt like it, too much preaching ! and segues! and feast !! like you when i played it through head phones , thats when i really got it , i love trc apart from feast. live in concert trc was fab !!! | |

soulpower said: TRC is his funkiest (released) work so far, and it sounds REAL! no overproduction, great rhythm guitar, killer drums, the warmth of the rhodes and a nice, thick live feel to it. If Prince had recorded Emancipation or Rave with the same technique, they could have been great as well.
In the 90s, it wasnt the songwriting that was bad. It was the recording. I agree completely. I would actually love to hear Emancipation-Rave re-recorded with his current band, in the style of TRC. This would excite me way more than new masters of WB albums. | |

What?! I'm scared he'll never reach the heights he touched with Lovesexy and Sign "O"! How easily fans drop the bar. Drop the bar? For me, TRC and Sign would be a tough one to call, though mainly because TRC is newer and more suited to my current musical taste, but I would definitely rate TRC higher than Lovesexy, and I like that album a lot. I think TRC is one of the only things he's done in the last 10 or 15 years that is a great piece of work from start to finish (barring wedding feast, and even that is quite amusing if u're feeling famish). The 90s saw some good music, and the early 00s has seen some too, but nothing I really felt proud to take to a friend's house and say "check out this funky shit!" Except for TRC, which is funkier than a bow-legged monkey. Eeek. Okay...whatever. I'm proud to take over Lovesexy or Sign over to a friends to show off. TRC is good, really good. It's focused and I'm actually okay with the Feast song, it's just a comedic relief, very interesting part of the album. A quirky piece. But TRC is somewhat close to the magic of Lovesexy. You felt the spirituality and confidence of that album. TRC...well, you felt the religiousness and insecurity more. I can't pretend to like that album as much. I had to be honest with my self. Its up there, but not that much. .::. [This message was edited Sat Oct 11 13:42:10 PDT 2003 by FlyingCloudPassenger] | |
