| Professional Review: |
| Maybe this music by Prince & the Revolution will never quite sound as, well, revolutionary as it did in 1984 (and nothing else has ever sounded like the extraordinary cooing and fluttering of "When Doves Cry"), but it's a pop landmark in Prince's Artist-ic career. The hit movie was really just a big-screen showcase for Prince to perform these songs (some of them in tear-the-roof-off "live" versions set in a Minneapolis club). I don't know why that warped sermonette introduces "Let's Go Crazy" (one thing you've got to love about Prince: he's always been weird), but somehow I'm glad it's there. Other highlights include the sexual scorcher "Darling Nikki" (with its crazy backwards coda) and that anthemic title tune. Don't you miss Wendy and Lisa, too? --Jim Emerson |

 Written on October 22, 2006 Summary: Maybe The Best Original film Soundtrack Ever... Whereas the movie has (for better or for worse) indeed become a relic of its time, the amazing soundtrack truly holds up as a timeless listen; one of the cornerstones of 80's pop music. As a whole, this is Prince's greatest album, at once edgy and mainstream, dark and effervescent... this is one soundtrack that defies classification because of it's diverse musical influences, even as it hangs together as a wonderfully cohesive whole. Every song on this album is a classic of its type. The fact is, there wasn't anything before it that sounded quite like "Purple Rain", nor has there been anything since. A must for rock, funk and pop fans alike. Written on September 19, 2006 Summary: What an idiot!!! Mr williamson please please get off the pipe!! It kills ya know!! MC Hammer ripped off Prince! People like Mr. Williamson need to be reminded to keep their opions to themselves, when they don't have a clue what they are talking about. This album is phenomenal!! Mr. Williamson please buy MC Hammer album, and listen to your hearts content, while the rest of us listen to the real thing. Written on September 17, 2006 Summary: the best prince album ever with a name like prince ,its speaks 4 itself.this album is a masterpiece.a work of art and in 1984 this album this album ruled and still does.prince your one of the greatest.in the 80s prince ruled and still does.no one can out do him. Written on September 13, 2006 Summary: The very best Prince album There is no understating how huge this album was in 1984. All the various styles and influences of Prince's career intersected in this one album. From beginning to end, this stands as Prince's most unified, cohesive, accessible work. Many Prince classics are here, from "Let's Go Crazy", the ultimate party track, to "When Doves Cry", possibly the most perfect song Prince ever did, to the title track. The other songs on the disc are not merely filler, either. "I Would Die For U" was a hit song in its own right, and "Darling Nikki" is perhaps the most notoriously famous song on the whole album. Yes, "Darling Nikki" was the reason Tipper Gore got so hot and heavy into album ratings for children. Actually, it's not as erotic as most of Prince's earlier work, it's just Mrs. Gore never noticed until this. Anyway, this album equaled the record for most consecutive weeks at #1 on the album chart, and had two #1 songs and a couple more hit top ten. Of course, Prince has never equaled the impact or achievement he got with this album, and really there's no way he could. With the #1 soundtrack, movie, and single all at the same time, Prince was everywhere in 1984. While the album doesn't seem so ahead-of-its-time anymore, hardly a surprise 20 years later, the music is still incredible. I consider this Prince's finest work, and so very worth being in anyone's music collection. Written on August 6, 2006 Summary: #72 on the RS 500 This is an amazing album with gutwrenching emotion, and explicit feeling. A work of art and a high point in pop musik.....worms of the masses enjoy! |
