Tombstone Mountain Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) The instrumental "Plectrumelectrum" is crazy great. Prince can do it all. The band, composed of three women, are fantastic musicians and vocalists in their own right. Don't delay. Buy this album now Edited November 25, 2014 by Tombstone Mountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album is METAL FUNK SOUL!The vibe of this album is timeless. I'm glad you mentioned the metal aspect. Healthy, heeping dose of in your face power. Prince continues to show so many dimensions of his gift. Song after song, he takes you to another beautiful world. As far as his band goes, well let's just say they are his equal. Wow!

Del_Duio Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 For the most part I stopped liking his entire albums after Around the World in a Day (but of course you had some excellent tracks come out afterwards like Housequake, Kiss, S.M.F, Erotic City, etc). How does this stand up to the epic Revolution albums? Prince is notorious for taking down anything on Youtube in case I can't hear the whole thing before a purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Prince has been spotty for years......the last album i thought was solid was the gold experience.

bluefox4000 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 I finished my first listen and only 2 songs stood out to me......Wow and Anotherlove. The Rest sounds like prince on autopilot with a sound he's done much better before. but hey......I'm just one guy, lol Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Wow and Anotherlove. The Rest sounds like prince on autopilot with a sound he's done much better before.

How does this stand up to the epic Revolution albums? Prince is notorious for taking down anything on Youtube in case I can't hear the whole thing before a purchase. Erotic City is pre ATWIAD. It was a Purple Rain B-side. Prince used to be an artist you could plunk down your $10 for a CD without fearing you'd get some good stuff and a lot of filler. Not after the late 80s early 90s. But when he's on, he's way on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReRushed Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 All super prolific artists are hit and miss. Zappa, Dylan, Prince, etc. There's a lot of substandard material in those discographies. But the highs are the highest of high! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be just me but it's the album that flashed through my mind....Which was a much better album. I just did not hear much to come back too.

But the highs are the highest of high!You're so right with this comment, however IMO Plectrumelectrum is not "hit or miss". Put it in your car stereo and take a 40 minute drive CRANKING this puppy. At the end of the drive you'll wanna hear it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) I finally gave it a spin. It gets a thumbs up. Is it essential? Right now, I don't know. Time will tell...

I really liked "Anotherlove". I'm probably going to listen to it several more times over the Thanksgiving weekend. I tell you this much - it's the frist Prince album in a long time that I had no problem listening start to finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
