I am the Anti-Dansa on this one...I love this album. But just in case you don't, you can find it easily for $3.99 in any wrecka stow used bin. Take the low-risk route if you must...

I have to be in the mood for C&D. If you tend to like more of Prince's "rock" stuff, then I would highly suggest it. If you're looking for funk, you won't find it here. My favorites on this cd are Dinner with Delores, Zannalee, and Into The Light.

the first few songs are OK, it rapidly goes downhill from 'Right The Wrong'. I'd give it a 4/10. confused

Music wise it's an okay rock & roll album... but the songs are generally bottom draw stuff.

If it was by anyone else, I'd say it's a pretty good, solid album.

For Prince though, it just doesn't cut it.

It's a contract fulfiller juslyke "The Vault".

However, "Dinner With Delores" is an underrated campfire guitar playing track IMHO.

Okay, I have a huge bias here but I LOVE Chaos And Disorder. It was the first Prince album I ever heard. If you are a fan of Prince's rock side, particularly his guitar playing, I would highly recommend this album. Possibly the most guitar he's played on album. Certainly any fan should own this album. After all of the bad things you've heard about it I'm sure you will wonder why people bad mouth it so much.

1) Chaos And Disorder-Great opener. Energetic rock song.
2) I Like It There-Similar to the above.
3) Dinner With Delores-GREAT pop song. Very underrated, in my opinion.
4) Same December-I know I'm repeating myself, but another great rock song.
5) Right The Wrong-Kind of a silly song. Lot's of people HATE it but it ain't that bad.
6) Zannalee-Yet another rock number. Funny lyrics.
7) I Rock, Therefore I Am-Kind of a rock/rap hybrid? Good song. I don't care for the rappers.
8) Into The Light-Kind of a slower rock song
9) I Will-Part 2 of Into The Light.
10) Dig U Better Dead-Another rock/rap hybrid. Not a bad song
11) Had U-Not really a song. Kind of a fuck you to WB?

Sorry if I messed up the order. Don't have the album in front of me. Had to do it by memory.

I think its one of the best group of opening 3 songs. After that its all downhill...maybe with the exception of "Dig U Better Dead". One of the bottom 3 albums of his career.

i love this one. i like the quickness and looseness of the sound. forget the setting of a theme, forget creating a story with filler between the tracks. its just a tight lil rocknroll album. lose some of the underacheiving rap lyrics on it and it shines thru even more.

I like the title track and The Same December a lot. biggrin

I liked the original version of Zannalee better. If you ask me, he completely ruined the track before releasing it. Makes me think that the original Chaos And Disorder album from '94 was way much better - he just didn't want to give WB any good stuff at the time and we - the fans - were the ones who suffered for it by getting the opportunity to buy a second rate version of a first rate album. biggrin

It's an awesome album that rocks as much as it rolls. It might be even a lil' better than (dare I say it), The Gold Experience. This is one of my personal favorites.

Dinner With Delores says it all. headbang

Yeah, it kind of reminds me of my favorite Led Zeppelin album PRESENCE that way. Quick, immediate, raw and to the point. Is it an elaborate conept piece like TGE? No. Its it an overly polished overture to pop radio like RAVE? No. It is what it is. Probably a week in the life of Prince when he was pissed of at Warner's and taking it out on his guitar.

I enjoy it thoroughly!!

I ROCK THEREFORE I AM/INTO THE LIGHT/I WILL is one of my favorite song cycles on any Prince record.

GET IT! Like people say you can find it used for a song!!
