CD Review: Music of the LEGEND continues! - Purchased as a gift for a friend Review: Great addition to the Prince catalogue! - This is a really nice ablum...you have to own it, especially as a Prince fan. This is very worth the price and you can't go wrong with this ablum, as you can get it in a 3 cd set! The main ablum, Lotusflower, is the best, but MPLSound is awesome too. Elixer has its moments, Kept Woman, being the highlight. As a single or perhaps even double disk...this would have shined even brighter. It's a great rock ablum, and the cover of Crimson and Clover is better than the original!

Brilliant!
This is the best album Prince has done since Gold Experience. Only bought this in 2013 (some how overlooked). Completely ignored CD1 (not Prince), went straight for CD2. Great tracks on here, Crimson and Clover, 4ever, Wall of Berlin, and the best track, the Jimi-esque Dreamer. CD3 a little different. Still some great tunes on here, Dance 4 Me, No More Candy for You and Ol' Skool Company, and the best track, Chocolate Box. If you are a Prince Fan, buy this album now!

Prince is back
Some very catchable and dancy tracks here. Colonised Mind, Dreamer and Ol Skool Company are worth the purchase price alone. Prince has managed to sound like 2009 and yet also dredge up some of his 80s sound that made him so remarkable. Its the usual rump shakers and slow undress seduction ballads with a decent rocker or two thrown in. Lotusflow3r has a contemporary jazzy sound not unlike his other better 2000's albums, Musicology, 3121 and Planet Earth. MPLsOUND the better of the albums mixes up 3 frenetic dance numbers (There will never be another like me, Dance 4 Me and Chocolate box) some sexy ballads, a hardcore sex rap - Valentina and Ol Skool Company and excellent 80s style rap and then a assured number - No more candy 4 U. This is all fine except for the Bria Album, full of forgettable dance pop and steamy ballads. Its unexceptional sex kitten squeaking, but the Prince albums more than make up for this. If you get only one recent Prince album - get this, plus he's having fun with his music again.

Love Lotus flower
This is an absolutely magnificent album. I have listened to it over and over. Love Lotus flower, crimson and clover, and colonized mind are awesome. MPLS sound is also great. I have not listened to Elixir yet because truthfully I'm not that interested in Bria Valente but will eventually get around to it. Would rather spend my time listening to Prince. Just love his music. ,

Prince is the new Zappa
I have been a Prince Fan for 30 years. Technically my music style is little different now so Prince's Style. He is into classic Rock, Great guitars, a little funk, some Jazz with a fusion smell. I sit and listen to this album and i simply love this mixture that no other musician can provide except Zappa however Prince has the funk to add which makes this album his best ever.

Lotusflow3r is a wonderful CD. If you ever hoped that Prince would make a CD that consistently highlighted his rock side, this is definitely a must. I haven't yet listened enough to the other 2 CDs (Elixir and M. Sound) to critique them, but Lotusflow3r alone is worth the price of admission.

Pour écouter de la bonne musique de prince, pendant le confinement et le couvre feu qui commence vraiment à être long.

3 CDs de superficie negra, presentados en una triple funda de cartón, con una estética muy digital y pulida. El primer CD Elixr esta compuesto por 10 temas interpretados por Bria Valente (el último junto a Prince), el segundo disco se llama Lotusflow3r, está interpretado por Prince y tiene 12 canciones, el tercero y último CD se llama MPLSOUND, lo interpreta Prince y se compone de 8 temas. Es una edición de lujo para todo aquél que disfrute con lo que hace Prince!

Prince、2009年の新作は三つ折の紙ジャケに3枚のCDが入ったもの。 ミネアポリスに本拠を置くディスカウント・チェーン店限定という「謎の」販売方法を採ったせいか、日本での入手も手間取った形となった。 各盤にタイトルが付けられ(ElixerのみBRIA-VALENTE名義)、楽曲名が記されただけで、歌詞・演奏クレジットはおろか、プロデューサーなど付帯情報は一切記されていない。 「ただ聴くのみ」そんなメッセージが込められているようだ。 Princeの新譜が出るたび、「昔(80s半ば)の殿下が戻ってきた、傑作だ」という評価を耳にする。 私の場合、最初そう思っても何度か聴くうち、それが錯覚だったことに気づく。 Princeの音楽は、どの時代の作品も「核」みたいなものは変わらない。 しかし、殿下自身が時代時代に「変革」を求めてきたのだろう、と思う。 とはいえ、いつも同じ水準で創造できるとは限らない。 80sの作品群とそれ以前以降のもの、どちらが優れているか、という議論は差し置いて。 結局、そんな当たり前の結論を抱く。 さて、今回の3枚組。 「ただ聴くのみ」姿勢で、3枚組を総称するタイトルを付けられた1枚《LOtUSFLOW3R》について、レビューさせていただく。 最初に思ったのが「音質の良さ」だ。 今までの殿下の作品には、音楽を創造する意味での「音質変化」はあっても、「高音質」を意識したアルバムはそうなかったように思う。 しかし、今回は音がいい。 過去作は打ち込みが多かったせいもあるだろうが、今回はドラムスの鳴りの良さ、またリズムギターの分離が際だっているように思う。 一方、楽曲はついては、単純なコード進行の、どこかで聴いたことのあるような、わかりやすいメロディーが多い(実際、自作の過去作に酷似したメロディーやJimi HendrixによるWILD THINGを殿下が演奏した曲もある)。 といっても、けなしているわけではなく、個人的には「80sの殿下が戻ってきた」と思っている。 全盛期を極めていたあの頃、殿下はコンサート終了後、バンドを引き連れ、小会場でシークレットギグを頻繁に行っていた。 その幾つかはブートレグになって、コアなファンに、殿下の音楽のルーツや幅の広さや懐の深さを知らしめていたのである。 本作から、あの雰囲気を感じるのは、私だけだろうか。 殿下自身が自他作にかかわらず、好きな曲を思うままに演奏する。 それを殿下もファンも心から楽しむ。 「今夜の殿下は特別だ」 あの時の高揚感を覚えさせずおかない「久々の傑作」ではないか、今の私はそう感じている。
