by scapp70  - Top 500, Jul 20 '04
Pros: Take a listen, tell me do you like what you hear?
Cons: Just nine songs, makes you miss the Revolution
I have a list of perfect albums that I usually like to forcibly share to people. This album is truly a remarkable example of what one would call a perfect album. This truly has not a weak track amongst the small crop of nine songs. Purple ...

Pros: It has the chops to stand on it own without the movie.
Cons: He doesn't produce this consistently all the time.
I've always loved the music of Prince, I will always be willing to listen to his new music, but it is the older Prince albums that will always have an appeal for me, I own them and I listen to them from time to time. The four that I will be...

by Pantagruel , Apr 21 '06
Pros: Prince's most accessible album; a well-focused, radio-friendly mix of rock, pop, and funk
Cons: "Darling Nikki," but not for the reason Tipper Gore gave
Anger, he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armour --Jimi Hendrix: "Bold As Love" The stakes were high for Prince in 1984. His previous album, 1999,
broke him into the mainstream and critics were ...

by Dionne25 - Top 1000, May 08 '00
Pros: One of Prince's BEST albums ever made
Cons: Since this is an 80s album, there's not much airplay
This year marks 20 years since the release of the movie Purple Rain and the Purple Rain Soundtrack. I was looking over this review and saw that it needed some extra love and attention. Besides, I had to honor the Purple One with a well-written ...

Pros: Songwriting; vocals; ambition; guitar riffs on "Computer Blue" and "Let's Go Crazy"; "When Doves Cry"
Cons: None
Consider the following, generation y: if you had been born 20 years earlier, chances are you would have considered Prince to be one of the – if not the – coolest pop culture icons in the history of film and music. Most teenagers nowadays react ...

Pros: --
Cons: --
This is the review I've been dreading. With so many critically acclaimed reviews, there's no way I could give Prince's Purple Rain a bad review and not expect a backlash by fans of Prince on epinions. So I made it my mission to get to like Prince, ...

Pros: Some of Prince's best songs and great use of synthesizers.
Cons: A few sub-par songs, particularly Darling Nikki.
The name Prince brings to mind many descriptions: flamboyant, sexual, androgynous, or just plain weird. Unfortunately, what is often overshadowed due to Prince's eccentricities is his immense talent. Prince is one of the most talented musicians of the...

by e_burrell - Top 1000, Jan 22 '00
Pros: Vintage Prince, So Many Classics Here, "When Doves Cry"
Cons: Sounds a bit dated at some points
When I was a lot younger and in school, there was this girl in my class that was in love with Prince. I mean this girl was just infatuated with him. She wore purple clothes, and knew every word to every one of his songs. I thought this was a little...

Pros: Prince creates the greatest soundtrack ever.
Cons: Where's Vanity?In other words-none.
This is in my top five greatest albums ever made, ('Abbey Road','Nevermind','The Chronic','What's Goin' On',just in case you were wondering), and for good reason.Prince was at his artistic and commercial peak in 1984. This CD alone should cement his...

Pros: Great Guitar Solos, Strong emotional vocals
Cons: No Abalonia
Being the dreaded middle child had it's advantages, I have an older brother and a younger sister. They both had different tastes than each other and I liked both of their tastes so through out my whole teenage
years I only bought about 5 albums of...

by EFCrow , Feb 19 '01
Pros: A true variety of sounds, styles and beats.
Cons: It pigeonholed him to the point that he could never live it down.
Before I review Purple Rain, I want to make one thing clear. Purple Rain is an excellent album, but it simply was not his best album, and I'll argue that to the death - it was one of the best, and it contains some absolutely essential Prince songs, but...

by cosmicben , Mar 30 '00
Pros: Great songwriting, lots of energy
Cons: Synthesizers, and a whole lot of 'em
For sure, Prince isn't my "happy music"--too many synths polluting his production, too much weirdness, too thin of a feel, even with all of the competing instruments in the infectious mix. It's impressive, then, that half of this album...

by DukeSunflow , Apr 17 '00
Pros: A wonderful album.
Cons: Nobody plays the songs on it anymore.
1984. Only 16 years ago and it seems like centuries. Top 40 radio was listenable. A black artist could play rock and roll and be accepted. Springsteen would follow Michael Jackson on playlists. It's a time that most of us in our late 20s and...

by autoamerican , Jun 27 '00
Pros: Great album, huge 80s soundtrack
Cons: Get the record, not the movie please!
Before Prince turned into "The Artist", or 0-}-> or whatever he wanted to be called, there was an album called Purple Rain.
The album Purple Rain was radically different from anything else Prince had released, being more pop/synth...

by PoloPinoy , Dec 09 '00
Pros: Groundbreaking, classic pop accessible, yet artistic songs, almost everything
Cons: Length
What I consider one of the greatest soundtracks of all time is Prince's(yes, he's back to being called Prince)1984 classic "Purple Rain." Back in the day this musical genius was at the top of the game, and everyone else's for that matter. A...
