Purple Rain

A few good songs and quite a few less good ones, all totally dominated by horrible 80's drum mixes. Purple Rain is a brilliant song, but that doesn't save this.

I understand that most people hate this take, but this has everything I don’t like about 80s music. Weird production, everything is overly dramatized, and image seems more important than substance. Prince is very talented but our tastes don’t have much in common.

A little bit hard to listen to this. Except the main song "Purple rain"

I feel bad for giving this such a low rating but it just did not move me. I understand why it's so beloved, I just found it exhausting. Sorry.

неземная тоска

Not a prince fan.

Over rated

fun fact, I share a birthday with Prince. I do not share his taste in music, but still a decent album.

Second album proposé par le générateur après 1999 que je n’avais pas apprécié du tout (noté 1/5). Ce second album contient quelques tubes dynamiques (Let's Go Crazy ++ avec des parties de guitare électrique sympa : +1), mais aussi (et malheureusement) des morceaux plus lents et ennuyeux (The Beautiful Ones --, Purple Rain). Le son a un peu mal vieilli je trouve, noyé dans les effets. Et je n'aime pas les hurlements désagréables de Prince sur quelques morceaux. Je ne l'écouterais pas une seconde fois. =>2/5

I like the guitar work and the solos, but the cheesy 80s pop shit and the unrivalled horniness of Prince I just cannot enjoy whatsoever

I do get the significance, and I do know the talent and honestly, he's just an ICON for sure... however... ugh, half this album is so annoying, honestly.

Some nice songs

………..i’m sure it was groundbreaking once. Can recognise Prince’s talent and influence but yikes

I really want to like Prince just for his persona and was hoping this album would feature anything I can point to and go "I might not like purple rain, but this is great". Sadly, it doesn't. I don't know what it is with Prince's music, but it just doesn't faze me at all. All I hear are frustratingly generic 80s synth pop beats and the occasional good guitar solo.

I gave this a listen, but it confirmed that I'm not a Prince fan. I do think that he was a very good guitar player.

It captures the 80’s perfectly in its sound, but considering it came out two years after Michael Jackson’s thriller it seems a bit mediocre. Also fairly corny.

Come To conclusion I don’t like Prince and this overall importance. I get an intro but seems like every songs take 30 seconds to a minute to get going. I hate things that try to sound self important. His screaming hurt my ears. If it wasn’t for the title track this be getting a 1/5. Sorry Prince but not a fan 2/5

Hi honestly not my fav for some reason? I only like 3 songs

It's alright. Definitely listenable, but I didn't really feel as though I got anything from listening to this one outside of a few songs that I've heard in passing. The spread of genres is pretty interesting. If the R&B/funk roots were trimmed I could see myself liking this one.

Not for me

I did not like this album one bit

Unknown to me aside from the couple hits. Very electronic. Would definitely describe as experimental. Lyrics to Darling Nikki caught me by surprise.

I liked it, or maybe not...

I refuse to apologize for the fact that I don't like 80s synth pop, overly dramatic screaming or having every song be about about sex. This album has plenty of all three. I get it: Prince is a musical genius. I just don't want to listen to it.

I liked, or maybe not...

It was fine. Must have been a bigger deal at the time, but by current standards it's just fine.

Не распробовал. Ставлю плюс одну звезду за то,что у бати есть майка с этим челом

Never been a fan of the Purple Prince, too poptastic and alternately bland for me, great musician, guitarist and producer though he was. Purple Rain the track is a highlight for so many, including many well respected artists but to me it’s a bit of a drone. Sorry 😂

Do you like background music more than the lyrics? If so, then this is the album for you! The lyrics are just horrible in my opinion and his voice is not good. The instruments are amazing, and have a good baseline. The guitar is my favorite part of the songs. So that is why if you like background music more than the lyrics, I recommend that you listen to this album.

Do you like upbeat music? R&B/Soul? If so, this album is for you! But in my opinion, I don't really like this album. I feel like it's because I can't tell what the lead singer is saying, and because I feel like the background music is a little two over the top. I mean they are good, but I feel like they are bigger than the lyrics. I only recommend this album if you like upbeat R&B/Soul, and pop/rock music, but if you don't I recommend that you don't listen to this album.

I think this album is okay. I like the beat but the lyrics are a bit repetitive and are hard to understand at some points. If you do like soul music though, I recommend it.

Today, I find it even more annoying than when it was released.

29:16 of filler and 14:35 of hits. I’ve never listened to Prince before aside the obvious hits and any Dave Chapelle bits. I was throughly disappointed with the rest of this album it was a drag to sit through, I don’t think a single additional track stood out to me or was particularly catchy. Meh record.

Clearly one of the few who cannot stand Prince’s music.

Fairly annoying.

This album didn't really do much for me. The hits I'd heard and they're fine but the rest just didn't resonate very much. Obvious disclaimer, the man can play guitar.

Je n'accroche pas des masses

I don't understand pop or he doesn't want to understand me, especially the 80s, it's just fucking like, I don't understand all this. Maybe there are exceptions and I forgot, but definitely not this in . Yes, the influence on music and pop and non-pop and the appearance of electronics on such platinum albums and how it should all be shown, etc., etc., but fucking it was the hardest 87 minutes of my life. Yes, I'll listen to him twice!

I don't get it. At most it's an okay pop album.

- least favorite album so far, just not a fan of the funky pop - guitar solos in when doves cry were pretty cool

Not a huge Prince guy. Nothing on here was all that bad but it’s not something I’ll revisit. Even purple rain doesn’t really do it for me. Songs feel disjointed or just outright weird and for a guy who’s incredible at guitar he really doesn’t do a lot of guitar playing. Tons of drum machines. Some would say too many

I can appreciate Prince's genius. I understand his influence and achievements. With that out of the way this album did not do it for me. I liked the obvious tracks Let's Go Crazy, When Doves Cry, and Purple Rain but with the other tracks I fought the urge to hit 'next'. A great album should not bring about those urges.

Purple rain is full of ideas. Some work, most don’t. First two and last two tracks are terrible. But there are a couple of songs in the middle I enjoy parts of. But all song structures are weird. No track work as a whole. As soon as I find something I like there is the next moment or track to ruin it. Prince is a burst of creativity lacking cohesion. His ideas are everywhere but they are just so fleeting, never fully explored, always on to the next thing. ADHD in music form. Purple rain feels both extremely dated and uniquely weird. I understand that some people love him. Songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, star quality etc. But I can’t understand the near universal acclaim. There must be a lot of people NOT liking Prince? I mean, thin drum machines, eighties synths and electric guitar wailing can’t be everybody’s cup of tea? Although I have started to understand that funk with pop appeal has maintained a huge mainstream audience for decades, and that Prince fits the bill for a renaissance in contemporary American culture I still don’t get it. For example, his contemporaries Madonna and MJ have a lot more big hits that still work today. I’ll just have to accept that I’m in the minority here, that this is not for me.

Loved this album as a youngster. Found it to be a disappointing listen now.

No me gusta jajaja

I like 2 tracks. Just don’t really get it.

Not a fan. Some bits sounded like genesis. Derivative

Ugh. Prince sucks. Talented guy but so what.

Not my jam

Stora förhoppningar på Prince. Aldrig riktigt lyssnat på honom. Prince har agerat alldeles för weird utan att kunna backa upp det. Lets go crazy, nej. Inte bra. Förvånande dålig. Take me with U, inte särskilt bra heller. The beautiful ones, nej nej nej Computer blue, nej Darling Nikki, ansvarig för PAEC When does cry, nja. Men bäst hittills. Otroligt 80-tal Orkar inte kommentera resten. Är iaf väldigt besviken på Prince. Purple rain är den enda bra låten. Tidlös.

Vähän mitäänsanomatonta. Purple Rain on ok. Muuten aika mid. Parhaat: Purple Rain

Over rated

I suppose it’s great if you like Prince.

Overblown, boring

I only listened to the first few songs so I really do need to finish. Prince is one of those artists that people with really great taste love, and I I just don’t get it. This time around I didn’t enjoy what I heard, but this is clearly a me problem.

Purple rain en de crying doves one zijn nice, maar de rest is echt niet mn vibe🙃

Good, not my cup of tea.

Lahmer Funk-Pop.

still dont really get this. listened 2x. 2.4/5

Didn’t like the album as others might have did, wasn’t the biggest fan of ‘The Beautiful Ones’, just sounded uncomfortable to me. I was able to feel the talent, just was not convinced that this is one of the greatest albums of all time. His guitar performance for ‘While My Guitar Gently Weeps’ is one of the best live performances ever, I’ll give him that.

This album is turning 40 years old this year just like me! I can appreciate that Prince had a huge impact of music and was an incredibly talented musician - but this music/album just doesn't do it for me at all! I did enjoy 'When doves cry', it makes me nostalgic for the Quindon Tarver cover on the Romeo + Juliet sounds track. I wish I could rate it higher, but I really didn't enjoy the album and don't see myself listening to it again. So 1 star for the album and a bonus star for the influence Prince had on pop music.

Gotta be honest, I don’t think Prince is as good as he gets credit for. As a performer, he was larger than life (though actually quite short! Few know this). Talented musician, unique, but does that make him a good songwriter? I actually find the majority of this album annoying and unlistenable. I would honestly never put this on and listen to the whole album. It’s a shame that the album’s title track and finale is lumped in with the rest of this, because Purple Rain single handedly outscores the rest of the album combined. The moment he comes in with his trademark falsetto in the solo… chills, no matter how many times I hear it. Makes sense that it’s the last song, because what could follow that?

Kommer aldri til å like Prince, uansett hvor mange ganger jeg prøver

Две звезды. Вычурно, витьевато, психоделично, но по-плохому. Вообще не зашло, честно говоря. Но отвращения не вызвало.

Honestly, I stopped partway through. Every song sounded the same to me. And if you already don't care for Prince's style that's kind of a death knell for the album.

Just a couple songs.

Rock avec changement de rythme fréquents

not terrible. not great either.

Didn't really land with me

80s, pop, erster track ganz ok, naja geht so.. when doves cry ist nicht schlecht

Very 80s. Somewhat unique, but just not my style. I'm not a fan of falsetto and 80s music in general. Apparently this is the album responsible for Tipper Gore's campaign to have parental advisory stickers. I guess I'm glad I listened to it so I know what Prince is all about, but I probably won't ever listen to this again.

Ok.

Mostly pretty cringe. The lyrics are pretty horrendous. The production is ok, but doesn't hold up

I truly do not understand the hype behind Prince. Amazing performer no doubt, but the music is pretty cookie cutter 80's pop. My two favourite tracks were Computer Blue and Baby I'm a Star, the least Prince sounding tracks on the album. I think I just don't like Prince.

This sounds *incredibly* dated, with the sole exception of the title track, which isn't dripping in 80s production values quite as much as the rest of the album. When Doves Cry is the one track where those production values... Sort of work. Surprisingly tough to listen to.

Scooby Doo music. I don't get why this is considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Annoying vocals, goofy instrumentals - my only enjoyment was getting to hear him ejaculate during the ending of "The Beautiful Ones". Might just be brain damage on my part though, sorry.

Can't get behind prince

Purple rain the song is OK but the rest really not my cup of tea

When doves cry is decent but I'm really not a fan of any of his music. It's very jumbled disjointed and filled with voids. I generally don't like how slow yet fast paced each song is. It's just not my type of music but I can appreciate that Prince was very influencial and important in his time. These songs play quietly in consignment store at 6:45pm while the employees consider the sweet release of a semi truck.

Let's Go Crazy has a cool intro. I'd like to see more albums with intros like this one. Take Me with U sounds like something that would play over the credits to a 90s kids TV show. Not in a good way. I'm being yelled at on The Beautiful Ones. What is even happening on Computer Blue? Darling Nikki is not great... For "pop" music I'm not really sure how this would have been popular. I'm not into the screaming, falsetto, creaky voice, or other weird vocals. Was Prince the Pharrell of the 80s? There's a couple of bops on here that I'm fine to listen to a couple times a year. Didn't enjoy listening to the album as a whole.

Too much eighties and dancy.

Honestly was disappointed with this one. Knowing the famous songs made me think it would be a great album, but I didn't really enjoy most of it.

two good songs.

Not a vibe

I like the songs Prince has written for other artists and don't disagree that he is a virtuoso, but his own work is just not my jam.

This is more the sound I associate Prince with. Unfortunately, still not good. Purple Rain is so incredibly overrated

i didnt really like it..

2/5 Best: Purple Rain Worst: Darling Nikki

Best part of this album was when it ended and The Go-Go’s came on

Okie

the hits are hits, but otherwise too '80s sound

prima niet mijn smaak

I wasn't really looking forward to this one and sure enough it was just as bad as I remembered. I had to endure this album being played over and over by friends when it first came out and it hasn't aged well. I was glad to get to the end of it. There are a few tracks that are okay, plus a lot of filler, shrieking, bad guitar. Not my kind of music. Very 1980s; best left in the 1980s. I do actually like a few songs by Prince. I like his earlier stuff, also some of his later albums. I still remember the outrage when he appeared at some music awards ceremony and wasn't humble enough for the UK press. That has to be worth a star or two I suppose.

Well I listened to it. I liked it. Nothing terribly special. I had some notes in here earlier that got wiped away. I'll try to remember what I wrote. I think it was something along the lines of. I couldn't name a single Prince song, and that I know he was a big deal, and that this album was a big deal. I saw a video of him jammin out to guitar one time, and was really surprised how awesome it was. He can really jam! the first track had an awesome finale. The rest of the album I listened to at the gym so I wasn't totally tuned in. Purple rain was def catchy. And supposedly John was listening to that song this morning. What a quinky dink.

Pränz! Plätschert für Prince-Verhältnisse beinahe ein wenig generisch vor sich hin, When Doves Cry und Purple Rain sind aber natürlich herausragend.

I did not enjoy the other songs. Purple rain really stands out and the other songs are just not that good and that someone that loves guitar. Also, whats up with the screaming bits? Seems out of place.

I'm going to try my hardest going into this album with a blank and unbiased opinion until I hear the music. I do not think that I am the target audience of Prince's music to be honest. I have heard the songs "Purple Rain" and a cover of "Darling Nikki" before, but not the original. Having listened to "Purple Rain" again, I think it's an ok song. I can understand why people would enjoy his music, and I think he was a super talented musician, his work is just not for me. I am willing to give other albums of his a chance, but I am not optimistic that I will enjoy them.

Prince oli niin kiva viimeksi. Kivuus mennyt jonnekkin. Teeppä parempaa musiikkia ja viihdytä paremmin.

I fucking despise Prince, its not a bad album, but I still dislike him

Only a few really stood out to me but they definitely represent a certain time in music history

Ik ben blij als er een hit voorbij komt. Vooral When doves cry is een lekker cheesy '80's nummer. Een betere in zijn soort. Laten we het tweede sterretje daar maar aan koppelen. Want dat geschreeuw in die andere nummers is verre van prinselijk.

Prince is zo'n artiest die door de snobs wordt gezien als een van de beste muzikanten aller tijden. Lekker 150 euro voor betalen op North Sea Jazz om daarna te kunnen vertellen aan iedereen dat je erbij was. Ik vind het zwaar overschat allemaal. De hitjes zijn wel aardig, maar verder is het bombastische aanstellerij.

Bit disappointed tbh. I don't really know much of Price and have to say this didn't appeal. Awks

Očito mi stvarno Prince ne ide u prilog.

Nimikkobiisiä laskematta en lämmennyt. En tosin ole oikeastaan ikinä löytänyt prinssin musan syvintä olemusta muutenkaan, joten ei yllätä.

Ei ainakaan täynnä sitä kaiken hypen arvoista.

I just don’t ‘get’ Prince. Kiss and Sign o' the Times are great pop songs, but a lot of his work (including this) just seems unfocused and indulgent. Parts of this made me think I was listening to Van Halen or some other rock guitar noodling. I get that there are some quirkier moments in there too, and his lyrics are somewhat risqué, but this isn’t enough to make me feel this is something special or unique. It sounds of its time, and for me hasn’t aged that well. There may be some good songs in there, but they seem buried in layers of instruments and a dated production that - for me - covers up any of the songs' possible merits. Just because you can play 27 instruments, doesn’t mean you have to. And certainly not all at the same time.

Mid

Fun 80s pop, but by a ver creepy Prince. ick.

Mmmmm

It was ok

Lots of accolades and adoration for this album, but it’s just not for me. You really needed to be a fan of it growing up in the 80’s to like it now because Gawd is it ever cheesy and dated sounding now. I thought it was overrated back then, and I still do.

I really tried to give Prince a chance. No matter how often I hear it, I find his music (particularly the guitar parts) banal and tired. Plus I really don't care for his voice.

I don't get Prince, probably never will

This album sounds like the 80's, and that's not for me. I don't think this album has aged as well as others from its time, it has become dated, not historic. Prince is to be respected, but I can't say this album was worth my time.

Another album I figured would come up on this and I was looking forward to actually spending some time with it. However, beyond 'When Doves Cry', I didn't really enjoy it. It felt really oddly produced, even on the 2015 remaster. The high percussion is in your face and the vocals are set way back. Maybe I'll prefer his earlier stuff.

I've never understood the appeal of Prince. Some of the rhythms are good, but I don't find most of his songs to be very tuneful. Never cared for his voice, and the lyrics don't do much for me. That said, I did enjoy the lyrics to "Baby I'm a Star."

Purple nonce. It's better than the other Prince one we've heard, but I'm still not arsed about this violet violator.

not for me mr. prince 2/5

meh.. PURPLE RAINNN

Some parts were kinda cool; some parts I hated. Prince is phenomenal at guitar but WOW does he underutilize his guitar playing. His songs are totally not for me, I wish he spent more time shredding and less time rabidly obsessing about sex The ratio of "how much I enjoyed this album" to " how acclaimed it is" is extremely low

Listened to before in other list.

Couple of brilliant tunes but can't get past the fact most of it is nonsense and he is individually repulsive.

Was familiar with the album but never listened from start to finish. I can see why it is in the list, but not really for me.

Couple of songs

2/5 - Nope.

Overrated. Honestly can't stand most of the songs. 5/10

Bit rubbish. Not a fan

After seeing numerous Prince Tribute acts with Grant Cabaret Connor. I must concede that it's not as terrible as I remember. 2 stars

Just not my bag at all, but can appreciate the genius still

“Purple Rain” by Prince and the Revolution (1984) A Prince fan recently told me that one cannot understand the message of “Purple Rain” without seeing the movie. Uh, okay, but since this a review of the ‘album’ and not the ‘album+movie’, I’ll set the message aside, other than to say that the lyrics are thoroughly unimpressive. Musically, Prince’s guitar stylings are outstanding (if underutilized), and flawlessly performed. He has real guitar skill. And the pop arrangements, heavy with keyboard support and occasional string ensemble backing have undoubted popular appeal. Drum machine, however, is a definite minus. Seriously. Lead vocals by Prince, while demonstrating expansive tonal range, evoke soulless pretension, providing the listener with baroque frills, but with tragically understated passion. Rhythm section is uniformly mechanical. Prince the arranger seems to think a rhythm section is an annoying necessity. “When Doves Cry” is (apparently) entirely composed, arranged and performed by Prince alone. It has plenty of flair, but its lacy decorations seem to grate against the meaning of the lyrics. Perhaps the movie explains this awkward tension. Likewise on “I Would Die 4 U”. Actually, the same could be said for much of this album. “Purple Rain” comes at you like a heroically expansive gospel anthem dressed to kill. It has a very nice string arrangement in the outro, marred by dubbed audience approval (giving the listener a hint). But in order to get excited about this song, I’d have to know what the hell it’s about. Maybe you really do have to see the movie. I’ll do movie reviews after I die. 2/5

Some good songs for sure with mass appeal. Then some songs that very artsy and out there. Not sure I would call it a masterpiece since there are some weak spots.

Pop puro y duro. Letras malas. La única que se salva es Purple Rain.

Was just OK, not really my style

1st track is bearable. Others got old - they are too cheesy and banal to bear, both lyrically and musically. Nice thing for boomer-glam-costume-party, but these occasions are getting rarer and rarer.

Well it‘s Prince...not his best album. I don‘t think it shows his singing skills very well.

gay

Better towards the end, Purple Rain obvs a banger, good to learn additional Prince

all the good songs on this album were already independent hits that they play on the radio. All the other songs sounded like kinky 80's space pirate music.

not as good as I expected. I don't like rock 'n' roll. saved 1/9 (purple rain, but I'll probably shelve it), shelved 2/9.

Alt for poppet

simplesmente decepcionado com o album. esperava algo grandioso e tudo o que eu ouvi foi barulho, e musicas que parecem musicas genericas de discoteca dos anos 80, 0 profundidade nas letras ou nos instrumentos. a unica exceção do album é purple rain, é a unica faixa que possui uma letra bonita e com significado, atmosfera incrivel e um solo de guitarra insano (apesar de o solo de guitarra ser quase inescutavel na versao de spotify por algum motivo). decepcionado. nota: 2

I don't care about this music at all and resent people telling me it's good

топ обложка стильно, мне даже немного понравилось, но альбом так себе

Can somebody, anybody explain the appeal of Prince to me? This album is musically dull and lyrically trite; lazy, bloated and self satisfied.

Niet mijn muziek

J'aime pas désolé vraiment j'ai meme passé des musiques tellement j'ai trouvé ça ennuyant par moment

Small in stature and in talent.

Once i embraced the kitsch nature of the album (cover, music, lyrics) it was a fun listen. 1.75/5

Not my style

Look, it’s Purple Rain, what more do you want me to say?

I’m definitely not in the majority with this one but I really didn’t like the album? I feel like it was more reflective of the times but didn’t age well it feels like an album from the 80’s not necessarily timeless I know prince is talented but this album wasn’t it for me.

Awful. Disappointing.

jobbig störig musik!

I was always on the Nirvana side of millennial music. Don't get the 80s. This is a jazzercise aerobics VHS.

Boring

Never could get into Prince. 1/5

Don’t like prince

boring, geen cohesie

I know it's controversial, I'm just not a fan of Prince Don't get me wrong, I know how insanely talented he was, and as an artist, he is nothing but impressive. But I find a lot of his songs dated and somewhat boring, was hoping that listening to this album from start to finish might help me see the appeal! But if anything, I felt more of the same, also listening to Purple Rain the song for the first time in a long time, it's just a song I do not like in any shape or form!

Eventually I've got it - Music by Jay from The Inbetweeners" Absolute Dross. 3rd Prince album, all the same. Absolute dogshite.

the hits are big enough hits that i can kinda see why this is still on the list, but as an album experience this is dreadful. outside of the opener, doves cry, and purple rain every single track on here is the most annoying prince ever was.

Doesn't exist.

Ugh. Well. I know the title track is a big stink pile, but this was bound to happen. Every self-proclaimed music fanatic’s favourite pop icon. I am prepared to be a hater as always. More pop for dimwits to intellectualize? Most likely. J Geils band type beat. Wasn’t this song actually something else? Flashback? Feed down? Whatever. Something. This is dog shit. But he’s cool right??? Garbage radio pop with a token guitar solo. I’m sure I’ll be going crazy by the end of this. OH THE SONG IS FREEZE FRAME. He actually stole from the J Geils band. Man. You could’ve stole from anybody, and you picked a slightly worse redux of “Freeze Frame.” This should be one hell of a ride. Esoteric Dungeon Synth featuring Cyndi Lauper. It deescalates into a super boring song with a big violin backer. He sounds asleep. 0 for 2. Man. I expected to be lampooning this album for being radio pap, but this is something far more dire. This is a shy boy with no musical talent whispering into his iPhone so as to not wake his disappointed mother. This is almost punk in how bad it is. If it wasn’t delivered with such a depressing earnestness, it would be kind of campy. Oh no. He’s gettin’ fired up. He doesn’t care that he’s waking mom up. He’s going to be a star. I do like some of the screeching, but we were too far gone to start. Ok, Computer (Blue). All roads lead to Radiohead. This one is at least kind of fun, but it’s still stupid. About 1:30 of song followed by a lame guitar solo that sounds like the closing credits of a bad anime. This is a joke album. I’ve decided. The greatest prank ever pulled. It’s a brilliant takeoff on the state of pop music. These lyrics are terrible. Considering they’re front and centre along with light drumming, they’re kind of hard to ignore. With different lyrics, this would be better. Alas, we don’t live in that alternate universe and unfortunately “Nikki” has “ground” this one to a halt. Think of Milhouse. Think of Milhouse. That’s not just to distract me from the frequent use of the word “grind” to describe sex. Michael Jackson “hee hees” aside, this vocal hook is grating to me and the music is nothing. Lyrics are, again, terrible. But let’s ride it into the ground. Prince? You would… Die? 4 Me? This makes me feel bad for saying your music is so terrible this whole time. On second thought, and considering this individual is actually deceased, I’ll leave the whole concept of death alone. I will not leave this track without saying that this is one of the worst songs I’ve ever heard. Listless. There is something so lifeless about this album. I don’t know if it’s the production, the environment I’m in, or hell, maybe the volume. Purple Rain is so overblown. A song for losers. I can’t articulate how much I despise this lighter waving pile of dreck. This feels like an excellent time to mention that this guy was also anti-gay marriage, and referred to a 16 year old as his future wife (he was right) when he was 32. I don’t know man. From the terrible music, to the sketchy details about his life, this was a downer. But once again, the geniuses of music review have sainted ol’ Princeton (full name) here as the second coming. As a musical idiot and I suppose a general all-purpose idiot, I certainly hope we don’t see a second coming of this loser. An album that enters with a whimper, stays there, and leaves with a slightly more tired whimper. Truly awful. 0 HIGHLIGHTS: Serfdom seems preferable

Don't want to listen, it's a no from me.

The whining bastard.

Just nope. Not for me.

I'm not a fan of Prince, this was a hard listen, the difference in vibe between each song is jarring, the first song has a shit ton of reverb that makes it sound like it was recorded in a cave.

At the outset, I confess that whenever I've listened to Prince's music I've never found it particularly engaging. Maybe it's an age thing. I've played Purple Rain three times now. And that is three times too many. It's shallow, crass and dull music. It seems to be a product of a sex-obsessed bloke in frilly shirts and high heels. I just don't get why Prince has acquired this aura of god-like genius.

Don't like any of his music

Surmonté, bruit ambiant et mix sale. 1.5/5

I wouldn’t enjoy this even if I was dressed up as disco stu

He's so talented and just makes such trash music

4.13 rym eppure so che lo odierò ho chiuso dopo due canzoni lo trovo insopportabilmente allegro

Sorry - can’t stand this guys music and don’t care about his backstory.

J'aime d'autres albums de Prince mais là trop musique de centre commercial 80's un peu... Oops

Я не знаю с чего он так возгордился и задрал нос, но мне не понравилось вообще.

Another highly overrated “artist”. I just don’t get it - what is supposed to be so amazing about this guy? Yes he’s a multi instrumentalist, and maybe quite good at it….but, the songs and the singing are nothing special - poor in fact. Not a fan.

Pop, 80s, keys, male, mid/fast, sooo theatric, soooooo much drama, echos everywhere (especially on the drums), the guitar solo are unbearable, as well as the claps and keys/synth. Not aged well/at all, please excuse. Only adequate song is the last, still not protecting from 1 point - especially with 2 minutes guitar and piano outro.

Prince aint for me

Never was a fan, couple decent pop tunes but overall album nah..

Never my jam but decided to give a fresh listen. Still does. Do it for me…too much 80s synth dance vibe.

TIL that Prince is a whiny little bitch. 2/10

This is the music I wish was left in the 80s. Prince goes from sounding like a women to a cat dying to a man in an outfit that is tight around the crotch. I’ve never listened to Prince and have only ever heard one song of this album: I would die 4 u. The sounds are cheesy and loud for no reason. I thought he was known for being this amazing guitarist so I was pretty surprised when there really wasn’t that much guitar and it was not even close to amazing. I actually found his singing and guitar playing more annoying than anything. 2/10

I thought I liked Prince music & 80's music, but I am actually surprised how much I disliked this album! Couldn't wait for it to end. I think it's all the synth that's driving me crazy. :(

Screaming!

Nah

Disappointing

Tried listening to it. Just not for me.

Ostatnia piosenka Purple rain warta uwagi, natomiast reszta jakas taka bez wyrazu.

No es para tanto

Funk-pop. Tråkigt. Bara titellåten håller.

Bad version of emo/grunge

Insupportable

Non.

Nope. Prince is extraordinarily talented but the music just grates on me.

Not my favorite prince... can be top cheesy and lack of funk

Nice.
