Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Certified at 4 million units by the RIAA. (3/99)

Amazon.com

Prince's fifth album came right before the lascivious multi-instrumentalist became a huge star with his 1984 film and soundtrack, Purple Rain. But Prince had already proved himself to be the most audacious talent to emerge in the 1980s, and 1999, the bulk of which features Prince on all the instruments, reflects the dance-rock styles that he also brought to the acts he produced, particularly the Time. Prince knows how to run a one-man-band individual instruments don't blend together as much as they compete in a funky showdown which allows tracks like "Automatic," "D.M.S.R.," and "Delirious" to sustain their long playing times. But the album's two enduring hits, "1999" and "Little Red Corvette," outshine the rest, and define the essential roles that rock and funk play in Prince's music. "Little Red Corvette" is a sexy song about a car, which would have been enough to make it a terrific rock song even if it didn't also boast an infectious chorus and a great guitar part. As for "1999," count on it being the dance song of the millennial year. --John Milward

Not as accessible as "Purple Rain", but fans of the style and of (poppier) Prince will still love it!

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2006

Verified Purchase

I'm going to make the claim that Prince's "1999" isn't as cool as "Purple Rain" (this one starts off worse, at least), but if you like Prince or pop music then you're going to love it anyway. Every song here is great straight-up pop music and everything about it is well done. Prince is still a great singer here, although I WOULD argue that he's more of a guilty pleasure here than he is on "Purple Rain". That's not too much of an issue, but it's something to keep in mind. I would argue that, if you're not into Prince or pop music all that much, then this isn't the Prince album to get. "1999" is the most accessible song here, I think - it's a relatively sweet dance track. Anyways - the musical style here is pretty similar to "Purple Rain", too, as it's essentially new wave, pop and a little hard rock thrown in to make one interesting sounding package - it's definitely 80's, though (it's a tad dated sounding). Its historical importance and style definitely add to its rating and worth. The lyrics are usually pretty interesting and catchy, so they're also worth paying attention to. Overall, I think that this is still an awesome and original Prince album, but I don't think non-Prince or pop music fans will like it necessarily. They might, but the chances of this are less so than on "Purple Rain". If you like the style, though, this is a great CD to own! Highly recommended!

Highlights include:
the entire album!

Apocalyptic and weird, but enjoyable nonetheless

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

I suppose it goes along with Prince's apocalyptic theme of the "1999" track, but the 1999 album is a smattering of progressive tracks that are all delightfully weird. He plays with a lot of sound effects here. It's also perhaps one of his bluest albums in that he says "f---" several times (that doesn't bother me at all, but for those of you who might be offended, it's good to know). I've been listening to this album for years. Insofar as deeper cuts are concerned, I would recommend "Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)" - this is one of the "bluer" tracks I mentioned before, but it's just such a great mix of being both weird (with the sound effects and all) and surprisingly vulnerable. "Automatic" is another good one. Many of the tracks here, like "Lady Cab Driver" and "International Lover" go on for a while, with full minutes of Prince just jamming out, so it's easy to just sit back and lose yourself in the music; you just might (or maybe not, depending on your preference) prefer to be sober when you do. The music is trippy enough without any help.

Pure Genius!

This is one of my all time favorite albums/CDs EVER! It was so far ahead of its time, as is usually the case with Prince's music. I listen to this every day while driving in to work, sometimes while doing homework, or cleaning house. Regardless of what I am doing, as soon as "1999" starts I am ready to take on anything.

I adore Prince and admire him for his God-given musical talent and his self-confidence. There is something to be said for a person who can write a number one hit overnight AND play all of the instruments on that number one hit (When Doves Cry from the Purple Rain CD). Not only is he one of the most forward-thinking musicians of all time, he is, without question, THE most talented musician in pop history. He is also the sexiest musician I have ever seen. I thought that when I saw him in concert in 1986 in England, in the movies Purple Rain and Under the Cherry Moon and still think it today, over 20 years later, when he performed the half-time show for Superbowl XLI. Even now, in my 40s, when I watch his movies I get chills just listening to him sing and scream. To meet him would be a 20+ year dream come true for me.

My 1st Prince album (vinyl) was a Birthday present from Best Friend Darnell. <3 it! 1999, Little Red Corvette, Delirious

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

'82 Release, 11 Tracks - All the tracks are good, hadn't listened to it an a long time, bought the CD, we were Dancing to it at wife's 1999 Christmas Party, fitting.. 1999, Little Red Corvette, Delirious, Let's Pretend We're Married (like *smile*), D.M.S.R. (like it-Dance Music Sex Romance), Automatic, Something In The Water (Does Not Compute), Free, Lady Cab Driver (favorite also), All The Critics Love U in New York, and International Lover. Album is a good choice, but I have other top favorites, Purple Rain Soundtrack, Girl6 Soundtrack, The Beautiful Experience EP, Emancipation (3 disc set), Graffiti Bridge (liked album better after seeing the movie on cable), & Lotus Flow3r 2009-3 disc set (found unloved at a local Walxxxt) when fresh AA batteries needed for gas fireplace starter before Christmas - store music selection was awful), Rather do Amazon, less aggravation, hate stores where no one knows music. Miss the LA area record/cd stores, 2000 miles away in IL. Enjoy your Prince! I do mine, a musical Hero in my book, hope he keeps it up, does not self destruct. -30-

Prince 1999: nasce il Minneapolis sound

Reviewed in Italy on January 26, 2019

Verified Purchase

Uscito nel 1982, questo doppio LP è il manifesto del nuovo genere inventato da Prince.
Si tratta di una destrutturazione della canzone pop riutilizzando i generi già esistenti ma in forma nuova, su ritmi spesso ossessivi e tribali, che impareremo ad apprezzare negli album successivi dopo esserci abituati all'ascolto.
I vinili sono di ottima qualità, piatti e silenziosi. L'acquisto è consigliabile.
