Prince at his all time best!
Great jazz influence and traces of James Brown funk. I just listened to this CD and in my opinion it is one of Prince's best albums. Love every track on the CD. Highly recommend!.


One of the most deep, dark & out there albums ever made
The title track "come" really takes it to another level sexually when he actually said "can I f***k you baby and can I suck you baby" really must have made some listeners fasten their seat belt for what was actually going to be heard from beginning to end . Of all the prince albums I have listened to since I was 5 years old, this one is truly one of the wildest and wackiest albums in music history. The song "loose" is filled with some blazing guitar work by prince as well as the beginning of loose with prince screaming help makes the song "loose" an unpredictably crazy yet entertaining song.
The track "let it go" is one of the best on this album and should have received some recognition. The last song on this album is truly the perfect way to end an album and definitely is an icing on the cake to the other songs that have such explicitly hard and heavy content. There should have been a special show or segment by the HBO TV network about this album because, this album is as raw as any album I have ever heard in my very life. The HBO TV network is known to show graphically wild, tough, things and I think they would do a good job in making a late night special concert or something to their creativity on this very album alone that seems to tell a story of a world that is straight up wild & freaky. .


Mostly forgettable
"Come" the title track and "Letitgo". There are only two tracks on this recording worth listening to. The rest is a waste of time.


The Revolution of Sound


Warner Bros. Prince was in the development stage of a project based on Homer's Odyssey - Glam Slam Ulysses - that morphed into a plan to simultaneously release a commercially-orientated album (that became The Gold Experience) and one more musically experimental, which is this album. balked at Prince's vision and released the album in August 1994, with the 10 tracks clocking in at 48:43. Recorded between 1991-1994, the album reached #15 on the Billboard album chart with minimal promotion from Prince, who was engaged in a very public dispute with the record label. The single, Letitgo - which charted on four Billboard lists, the best being #10 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs - has lyrics concerning the professional turmoil. Another single, Space, had minimal success, peaking at #71 on the same Billboard chart.

This is not Prince simply pushing back at Warner Bros. ; it is a collection of material from an artist whose aim was to take his fans in a revolutionary new direction. It is a vastly underrated album from a period of incredible output for this iconic figure in pop music.


My favorite Prince album of all-time
Mo') need to shut their mouths about Prince releasing 'Contractual obligations'. For those 'fans' out there (yeah you, 'Dr. Pretty much the only album that Prince released to fulfill a contract would be 'Chaos And Disorder'. Do people just not think that Prince doesn't want to release music? He is a musician after all. This album is great, and if you don't like, you probably are a fan of Purple Rain, and not Prince.

Prince goes all out in experimentation, lyrically, musically, and visually (visually as in the image of Prince standing before a cemetery, a very powerful idea). The lyrics and theme are very explicit, yes, but Prince pulls it off in such unique artistic quality that I doubt any other musician can do. Behind every track is an underlining emotion of what Prince has always been about.

Tracks like 'Papa', 'Loose!', and the A Capella-like 'Solo' are all unique pieces to Prince's usually music, but don't stray too far from what you hear on, say, the New Power Generation album.

Now, if Prince had to release some music for an album, do you think he would really care about trying so hard to create such a strong atmosphere and style? Each track is a masterpiece that I can listen to over and over. Often I enjoy repeating the entire album right through, because I can't get enough. I would even go so far as to consider almost all of these tracks as my favorite Prince songs, especially 'Papa', 'Letitgo', 'Loose!', 'Pheromone'. . . well, I'm not going to list all of them. .
