Pros: The most experimental album from Prince & the Revolution's "golden age". Cons: Not as immediate as the two albums that preceded it.
Want definitive proof that Prince couldn't sit still-as if the 30,000 albums he's recorded in the past thirty years weren't definitive proof enough? Well, while the Purple Rain juggernaut was busy taking over America (film, music and tour), the ...
Pros: The Revolution sounds cool. Cons: Prince sounds like a tired mess.
I feel like I've jumped over a massive hurdle with the competition of the first six Prince albums. My expectations are more or less non-existent at this point. While his records tend to be slowly improving throughout time, the overrated Purple ...
AROUND THE WORLD IN A DAY is one of the brightest Prince albums ever. I'm not sure what that means, but its a sense of color and light and freedom that the music inspires. "Open your heart, open your mind," he sings, "A train is leaving all...
Pros: Diverse, colorful, "Raspberry Beret" is of course a pop classic. Cons: The climax of "Temptation." (Actually, wait. That's too funny to be a con.)
Prince Rogers Nelson is a weird little genius that I've respected only from a distance until now. It's probably a shame that I've waited so long to take a concentrated listen to his albums, but here I sit with 1999 < i>and Around the World in a ...
Pros:Pop Life,Raspberry Beret, America, Around the World In A Day Cons:The Ladder, Temptation. This could definitely use a remastered edition, the sound is awful.
Back in 1985, when our brains were still swirling with delight from the delicious Purple Rain album and movie, funk-master-superstar, Prince's new LP Around the World in a Day snuck into our local record store (or is that wrecka ...
Pros: Prince incorporates elements of classic rock and psychedelics into his established funk groove. Cons: "Condition of the Heart" is a plodding ballad. A few overly earnest moments.
Arriving only a year after the chart-destroying smash “Purple Rain”, Prince’s seventh record “Around The World In A Day” was met with a somewhat mediocre reaction after the stunning success of its predecessor, with the artist ...
Pros: Branching out into some different sounds here. Experimentation was in. Cons:The Ladder represents the one side of Prince I don't find appealing.
Despite the money, adoration, and offers of hayloft adventures with throngs of exotic women that were pouring in, it would’ve been tough to stand in Prince’s high-heels in 1985. With Purple Rain setting the bar for all his future endeavors ...
Pros: Production, Instrumentation, Arrangements, Performance, Guest Musicians, Diversity, Lyrical Themes, & Vocals. Cons: Not as Consistent as Prince's Past 2 Albums & Different Musical Style.
After the huge success of 1984's Purple Rain film and its soundtrack album that was credited to Prince & the Revolution. Prince was now a mega-star in decade of mega-stars like Michael Jackson and Madonna. For Prince, he was popular both ...
Pros: Amazing Song Writing, powerful music, excellent arrangements Cons: followed on the heels of purple rain, misunderstood
Prince and his band
Prince is a changeling, and yet he isn't. When his musical legacy is examined whom will he be judged against? Cameo or Van Halen, will he be examined in light of the funk, the rock, the symphonic moments, the ear candy,...
Pros: A lush, enjoyable feel Cons: Only one awful track, but not everything is well-written
I love the sound of this album. Prince's follow-up to "Purple Rain" is freakier and less consistent than its predecessor, but the whole thing is so darn pretty that I can't stop listening to it. Sometimes, I even forget that most of the...
Pros: Brilliantly idiosyncratic Cons: This is where the Purple Rain bandwagon got decidedly lighter
In 1985, Prince was Huge with a capital "H," having achieved that rare double breakthrough of critical accolade and commercial success (both on record and in the movies). Nineteen-eighty-four's 'Purple Rain' was rightly hailed as an important...
Pros: contains some deeply introspective lyrics and songs that have true meaning Cons: a very polished production; nothing displeasing about this CD
I can’t admit to being a big fan of Prince’s music. Outside my meager collection of Prince CDs, there is little in his catalog that I feel very motivated to buy.
That being said, of the few CDs I have of Prince’s music, the one that really...
Pros: One of Prince's best! Cons: Something had to come after Purple Rain.
Around the World In A Day is a wonderfully psychedelic album with a contemporary emotion in its center and full of great messages, both spiritual and sexual, which is Prince at his best. As Prince himself said, "Do you know how easy it would've ...
Pros: something different from the mainstream of purple rain Cons: this cd is for die-hard prince fans like myself
i begged my parents for this album, (yes when it came out it was still in lp versions) i loved this album, and i was very young listening to it, maybe 14 or so. i just put this tape in my car about a week ago and damn if i still love the songs on here....
