Come: A not so good intro that should have been only 3 minutes...

Space: Those remaining minutes of Come should have been in this song as it's much better. Very nice atmosphere...

Pheromone: A good dance track.

Loose!: Kicking it up a notch with this one.

Papa: Was always my favorite from this CD.

Race: A piece of shit...

Dark: The token slow song.

Let it Go: A mediocre pop song. Sounds like it was made specifically for radio.

Orgasm: Nice and wierd ending... Liked the sample from Private Joy.

Funny, my favourites are Come, Race and Letitgo.

I mostly agree, except I like Race.

What about Solo ? You left it out !

Wasn't there a sample from Ronnie talk to Russia in Orgasm as well, or was it just from Private Joy ?

I think, like most people, I hated this album the first time I heard it. But it has grown on me over the years. Certainly, at the time it was a huge disappointment. Coming off a greatest hits album it appeared to signify that Prince was finished. And I think he would have been wiser to release the Gold Experience instead.

My fav tracks are

Come
Dark
Papa

Its an ok, sumthing u listing 2 now and then,


papa i never liked when i got it, but now i love it.

I've always felt the 'Come' was an 'almost... but not quite...' sort of album.
I like just about every track on it, yet it doesn't quite seem to add up to a great album.
I've always thought that it suffered from the fall-out between Prince and WB, and that if
that had not happened, it would have been a much better album. I prefered some of the
earlier sequences of the album, and if the two had been combined then it could have been
a classic.

I actually quite like it, in a squirmy cringeful way.

I have to admit that it is different from anything else in his catalogue. I give him points for trying. But for me it just doesn't work.

Sorry guys, I am kind dumb when it comes to bootlegs. What was the original tracklist for Come? Were there any other different tracklists other than the original and what was released?

´Space´ had a kick ass live version in the Miami B-day bootleg 94. Prince does a beautiful guitar solo in the end.
I prefer the ´Universal Love Remix´ and the acoustic one is very nice. The album version is nice, but a little bit ´plastic´.
I love the solos of ´Letitgo´.
´Loose´ is very nice too. And ´Dark´ has some nice drums in the end (and a rocking guitar too)

´Come´ is my fave. beautiful harmonies and great horn solos.

Oh yeah, Solo... Great song! You can feel the low feeling he is emoting.

I think Come is Prince's great undiscovered classic. There's a vibe to that whole album that's just amazing and unique.

COME is great to listen to by yourself on an overnight drive on a dark highway...

I dig the record a lot. COME, LOOSE, LETITGO and SOLO being my faves. But to me its a "by yourself" record. Headphones usually, or driving. Its not a party record like 1999 for me. Its kinda personal and subtle.

And I don't think I could listen to ORGASM with another person in the room unless we were doing it!!

Right, every now and then, you put it in. I usually play it in the car, when the passenger complains about the current P music I'm bumpin. THen they go off into this whole thing about Prince being a freak. That's when I put in COME, and play the last track...

Then I'll look at them and say, "He's a freak, but she's not complainin...is she?"

Blue

great album!!!! Space w/ the remixes is fantabulous!! (univeral love and acoustic versions) wowzers!!!!

love Loose, Solo, Letitgo, Papa

Phermone's okay . .

"Vibrator" is definitely sampled. That's Vanity's voice saying: "Ready or not - here I come".

space/race/dark , my faves from the come album

like Come, Papa, Solo, and Dark the best

I think I was glad that he decided to sample the end of 'Ronnie Talk to Russia', it was a bad song that needed to have some relevance with the late 90's pop market.

I was disappointed when this CD came out, and it didn't have Love Sign on it. I think that song would've fit perfectly after Loose!

I also liked the earlier, more techno version of Come. I'd love for that to be made available soon!

All in all, it's a pretty good album. I don't know if it would be in the upper half of Prince's albums, but it would hover somewhere in the middle . . .

Mine too. When I'm in the mood for it, I like Solo as well. The rest I don't really care about...
