Biography

Few artists have created a body of work as rich and varied as Prince. During the '80s, he emerged as one of the most singular talents of the rock & roll era, capable of seamlessly tying together pop, funk, folk, and rock. Not only did he release a series of groundbreaking albums; he toured frequently, produced albums and wrote songs for many other artists, and recorded hundreds of ...

5.0 out of 5 stars An opinion from a loooongtime fan December 2, 2004
Format:Audio CD
I remember how excited I was to get this cassette tape the day it was released. My boyfriend and I were going to a friend's house, and as Mark was a fan, too, we listened to it in his 69 Rally Sport Camaro. After it was over, he looked at me with his "what the h--l was that?" expression, while I sat, with a blissful look on my face. He wasn't a fan after that day. I was even more enraptured with Prince than ever. (I knew then that the relationship with my boyfriend was doomed.) Throughout the years, the cassette stayed in my collection. I loved loved loved Pop Life-- as AIDS was really making news in those days, the song held great significance then. Around the World In A Day and Paisley Park were favorite driving songs, ones that helped when I was sitting in stop n go traffic here in Houston. America was, and still is, a staple on my running tape, now CD.

And Raspberry Beret? I tired of its constant repetitiveness on the radio at the time, but as it introduced my DAD to Prince's music--before, he was blinded by the sexually suggestive posters on my wall, prejudiced by the news coverage and controversy regarding his stage show and lyrics, and deafened by the rantings and ravings of Tipper Gore and her PMRC to actually sit and give the music a listen--and now he is a fan as well. His 2nd favorite song by Prince? Cream!!

Anyway, ATWIAD opened my 19 year old mind and enabled me to be more flexible when it came to my favorite artists expanding their style. Now, I'll listen to a CD three or four times before actually passing judgement, and you know what? Rarely, if ever, have I discarded any CD since.

5.0 out of 5 stars Way underrated... September 7, 2003
By Mr
Format:Audio CD
This is one of Prince's very best...just as good as Purple Rain even if different. At the time it was released it disappointed the mainstream audience that didn't understand that Prince was much more than a mere hits maker. Still i don't understand why it didn't get more recognitions. But i think that nearly 2 decades later any true pop music lover would agree that this is a masterpiece.
Around the world in a day let you hear Prince at his warmest, happiest and you can feel the inspiration on each of the 9 tracks...Paisley Park is a psychedelic masterpiece, The ladder sounds like Purple Rain going gospel whereas the haunting condition of the heart stands as the album emotional peak. Even an apparent minor track like tambourine sounds refreshing and playful. There is not a weak momement on this album but just great music from start to finish.
Any Beatles fan should check this one out...

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Prince
If you like Prince from the 80's, this is a great record. It has a few familiar tunes, but overall this is a classic Prince feel.

4.0 out of 5 stars How do you follow up Purple Rain?
If you're Prince, you do so in the most unpredictable of ways. Almost nothing on this album sounds as if it could have fit in comfortably on its predecessor. Read more

It is a very well-known fact that Prince Rogers Nelson is a musical genius. And yet, people, in 1985, were quite surprised when he introduced this album to the world. Read more
