What Album Of Princes Do U Think is Most Over-Rated

In my opinion I just think Lovesexy is a terrible album and i was wondering are there any others out there who agree? (most probably not lol ) also what do you think is Princes most over-rated work?

P.S Batmans a close second

3121. it takes a lot of effort and positive thinking for me to be able to say, "yeah, that's an okay pop album". and while i can do that and appreciate it on some modest level, i don't understand when people fawn all over it.

You guys are all bogus and drunk! The most over-rated Prince album of all time is without a doubt Chaos and Disorder. Why do so many people like this album. It's not even a top seller and I can see why. I'm the only one of my friends and colleages who have this cd and wonder why? Because he was P and tha's my boy I bought it without listening to it first. If I can go back, I wouldn't buy it. Til this day, I don't even listen to it. It just collects dust. TERRIBLE! Just HORRIBLE! That is the worst.

Peace and be wild!

if it sold so few copies and so many people don't like it, how can it be overrated?

and yes, i'm saying this as someone who LOVES that album, warts and all.

I don't like LoveSexy either. It sounds like a big jumbled up mess. Like someone took the entire pallets of paints and threw it all unto a canvas and smeared it around with there hands.

Batman I don't like either. I think it sounds rushed and underworked, like he did it in about 2 days. It could have been good but needed more work. The instrumentation is rough.

I think statements like under or over rated are used for frivilous conversation... A piece of work is all that it is. The music gives you what it gives you.

I remember learning in a poetry class, that a certain poem may not strike the same chord in me as it strikes someone else.

There was a poem about a woman that had lost her mother. A girl in the class was very moved by this poem, however I was not, My mother is still living.

To the generous mind the heaviest debt is that of gratitude, when it is not in our power to repay it.~Franklin

Planet Earth was shit. Guitar was the ONLY good song on that lump of crap. It was such a let own after Musicology and 3121.

Prince may have lost his touch.

Wow, pretty good, i don’t hate Lovesexy but i think your description is better than the album itself.
A HUGE letdown from the heights of SOTT and everything else that came before it.

BUT The Gold experience and Rainbow Children still gets my pick, those are just so childishly bad

Diamonds and Pearls. It had a couple of cool songs on there, but over all, I thought it was over rated. In that period I thought the Symbol album was better.

Yeah childishly bad...I bought the TGE and didn't really care too much for it. That song dolphin is probably the worst song i have heard in awhile, the lyrics are just so stupid. sorry, just my opinion.

I was never crazy,music wise about dirty mind, the subject matter was a good move for him artistically and most point to it as his quintessential album but outside of when you were mine, i thought it was not that great.

The Rainbow Children is Prince's last great innovative album. Prince does music for himself and challenges people to come along for the ride. His music is not for those that enjoy the same old thing.Purple Rain was 25 year ago I am sure we wouldn't what to hear that over and over for 25 years

I wouldn't call Lovesexy terrible but there are a number of albums that I think are over-rated. Like Around The World In A Day and especially The Rainbow Children. The Rainbow Children in particular seems to be mentioned a lot on the org as a very good album and I disagree. Aside from She Loves Me 4 Me and Family Name this album is not very good, not very bad, but quite forgettable. Everywhere has a great start but then it's totally watered down. And there's too much religion; to appeal to everybody, an album should not be too religious.
