Upon listening and discussing with fellow fans, the controversy arises not from the religious concepts discussed within the album, but whether the "Darth Vadar voice" ruins the record or not. For me the answer is "no." Taking us back to 1982's "1999," this album begins with Prince speaking in an altered voice, proclaiming "For the accurate understanding of God & his law..." Well, he might have used his regular voice if he wanted accurate understanding. But what strikes you is the music, which sounds nothing like anything Prince has ever done before. What I noticed first are the real drums, always a welcome addition to Prince's music. Then we notice the jazzy feel, flirted with on many an occasion, but never so fully embraced. Then we notice the absence of any pandering to pop trends, which had been an unfortunate trend in Prince's own music since 1991's Diamonds & Pearls. Many fans of Prince will be disappointed by the lack of cursing, sex talk, or simple songs. But what made Prince the legend he is today is his ability to surprise, and his willingness to take chances. The Rainbow Children shows that that spirit has not died in Prince, which is something his previous few albums were not able to do. The title track, Everywhere, 1+1+1 is 3, The Sensual Everafter, Mello, Family Name, Everlasting Now, and Last December are all songs that quite simply could not have been accomplished by any other musician. Playing virtually every instrument except the drums, Prince shows what a truly professional pop musician is capable of, and what seperates him from peers such as Michael Jackson, Madonna, or (yech) Usher. He takes music to heights that only the true greats can reach. But to many, this album is narrated with a weird voice, so it's no good. It shows the unfortunate state of popular music that it took a far inferior but much more accessable album, "Musicology," to reaffirm Prince as a force in music. Review: TIME TO REVISIT THIS ONE - Lifelong Prince fan (since 85). This one was a big deal because it marked his return to using the name Prince (after the symbol years). Did NOT like this one much at the time, though I tried HARD to enjoy it. Maybe I was expecting more a return to more conventional pop songs, which this is NOT. Anyway, this album is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than I thought it was when it first came out. I broke down and bought the LP for the slipmat more than anything- but the album being so much better than I remembered was a treat. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00005RFQ6 | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,181) | | Date First Available | February 10, 2007 | | Label | Redline Entertainment -- Red - | | Manufacturer | Redline Entertainment -- Red - | | Number of discs | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 12.6 x 12.6 x 0.16 inches; 10.58 ounces | ## Images ![The Rainbow Children - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61QRSnl5ENL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Controversial Classic *by A***T on February 19, 2005* The Rainbow Children, the first cd by the newly rechristened Prince, wears a sticker that proclaims "The controversial new album by Prince."
