5.0 out of 5 stars Mini Masterpiece, July 10, 2000

By	Vincent M. Mastronardi (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In many ways one of his most brilliant quirky albums. "Come" is an exciting concept album that flows from everything to sex to abuse to racism to even more sex. The songs not only work great as written poetry but as great R&B music. The album starts out with the sex fest that is "Come" that is extremely long at over 10 minutes but is beat for beat hot rhythms. Followed is the even hotter "Pheromone". Great social commentary's come in the form of the story song "Papa" ("don't abuse your kids, or they'll end up like me.") and the awesome funk rap of "Race" ("I bleed, you bleed. Both the bold is red. Get it"). "Letitgo" is one of those great R&B gems that just doesn't get the radio play it deserves. It's a great funky number and is extremely heartfelt at the same time. "Orgasm" speaks for itself and is just a sex scene with some Prince music in the background. Talk about the conclusion. Maybe the best song on the set is a small gem that just hides within the middle. It's an electronic song called "Loose!" which pulsates with hot dance grooves and tons of funk. The CD is almost worth it just for that track. The album is full of not only great feeling and hot R&B sounds but has light faire like the mellow "Solo" and R&B ballad "Space". It's also Prince's last record and a great ending to an awesome career. The Artist has made some great stuff, but I think this Prince record is nearly untouchable. Eccentric music and creative stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of tha Best, March 14, 2000

By	thomas angelo zunich (long beach, ca USA) - See all my reviews

Maybe if u stop comparing Prince albums to other Prince albumsu might find some redemption in his most recent work.

Come hassome fantastic material on it. I actually consider this one of my favourite Prince albums. Just like the song "dark", it is prolific in it's description of this album. It is indeed "dark". The haunting tune "solo" is a great acapella that transcends u into a dreary isolated world, rain included. It has some poetic lines that chill your soul. "My name is no one?" Can u beat that? "Loose" is Prince's stab at the dance techno genre, and it absolutely rockz. "Pheremone" is arguably the best song Prince has ever recorded, "Papa" is a ode to the fathers of the world who like to beat their children. This song villafies them, with biting avengence. Do I need to go on about the rest of the trax? Yes eye do! "dark" has a mesmorizing keyboard hook that makes u swoon with delight, "Race", (the jughead of this album) combines a message with a beat! "Orgasm", well. do i need to go there? And "come" a prince anthem, an epic of a song that kicks off this 3 ring circus, a 10 minute jam, a 10 dollar groove. "Space" ...a melody that melts u with every listen, again it sends a shock and a chill as it fills the space of your brain.

If u are unfunky, don't bother comin' to tha Come Experience. If u dig a mix of jammin Prince toonz, stay awhile. Listen to tha lyrics, jam to tha original beats of "Prince's" last album.

And check out the killa killa jacket design. Gothic Prince? U gotta love that. The pix in the liner notes are fantastic! Spooky Prince, rest in peace.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complex Emotional Tapestry, May 26, 2001

By	"gemini_j" (Canada) - See all my reviews

Come is one of Prince's most underrated albums. I believe it was an album he was obligated to make, to meet his contract with Warner Bros. The album is a very dark, depressing and morbid in a sense. The Prince on the cover is very creepy and disturbing. The music is some of his most compelling work in a long while. The album tackles various issues. Papa is a song about all those father's that abuse their children, Race is about racism, and there's much more. The album is quite explicit. This is not an album you would put on at a party, or even play really loud. Its just a complex album of songs that require the listener to sit with the songs and take them in. Highlights include the funky Loose!, Letitgo, Solo and Pheromone. This album is not for everyone, if you are a casual listener of Prince you may want to borrow this one before you buy it.
