At its best, Prince's biggest seller of the '90s is an archetype of seemingly casual inspiration, thanks mainly to the ease tracks such as "Cream," "Money Don't Matter 2 Night," and "Willing and Able" exude. Of course, he's working as hard as ever, whether in a mellow groove or an aggressively funky one ("Gett Off"). Compared with the masterpiece Sign o' the Times, Diamonds and Pearls is a minor creation, but it's one for the long haul. --Rickey Wright

Loves it!.......2007-05-23

This CD is fantastic! I mean it's Prince, what's not to love, right!

High-Water Mark of NPG Phase.......2007-04-07

The first half of the album is really tight.(I used to listen to "side A" repeatedly on road trips.) And it's a sexy album too, rivaling Madonna's "Erotica" as the best sex/dance album of the early 90s. (My vision of a perfect college party would be going into a dark basement and everyone is dancing to this album and making out.) The only weak spots here are where Prince lets his New Power Generation bandmates shine: "Push" and "Jughead" are especially forgettable. Still, if you like this dirty & danceable phase of Prince's career, this album is much better than the other New Power Generation-era albums, mostly because it's so concise you can listen to it in one sitting. And there are moments of real Marvin Gaye-esque pathos in "Insatiable" and "Money Don't Matter 2 Night".

Prince lite.......2006-04-05

In the early 90's, before the "alternative" music explosion, new jack swing and rap ruled the airwaves. And it's clear that, perhaps for the first time in his career, with "Diamonds and Pearls" Prince was catering at least somewhat to a mainstream audience. It's still a Prince album, to be sure, filled with the usual sexual bravado (on the slinky "Cream" and the throbbing, intoxicating "Gett Off") and mellow political criticism (on the somber "Money Don't Matter 2 Night", and the closer "Live 4 Love"). But the musical influences on the album never stray far from fairly conventional R&B. The album does take a slight detour with the jazzy "Strollin'", but it's a far cry from the sonic adventurousness of "Around the World in a Day", or even the preceeding "Graffiti Bridge". Just call it "Prince Lite".

Diamonds and Pearls - A New Prince.......2005-12-18

The Year was 1991, Prince had released 2 consecutive albums that weren't that good. The Batman soundtrack and Graffiti Bridge to his movie that flopped. This time around he had found a new band "The Power Generation" and had added a new more hip hop influented sound. Basically, the days of catchy pop-funk were gone and he had joined the hip hop revolution. Read on to find out the result.

Diamonds and Pearls is a new chapter of Prince music, although we already had seen hints of that on Graffiti Bridge in 1990, it fully came out here. A very hip hop influented album recorded with new band the Power Generation. It does have other infleunts aswell and some songs still sound like in the late 80's but it's difficult to not point of the sound of hip hop he's added here, almost like a re-born Prince. The album "Diamonds and Pearls" was a big hit, and not surprising with all the good songs it has. Although his top albums of the 80's where slighyly better this got enough good songs to be called "Near Masterpiece".

"Thunder" is a psychedelic-funk song where the hook "Thunder - all thru the night,Promise to see Jesus in the morning light,Take my hand, it'll be alright, C'mon save your soul tonight" is defenitely about religion. "Daddy Pop" got hip hop all over it. If You like songs like "Get Off" you'll this one too. The title track is magnificient. It's a sensual ballad and yet somehwat pompous and duet with Rosie Gaines. Not surprising it was a big hit. "Cream" is one of those trademarks songs about sex, this funky number was another hit single. "Strollin" is a slow and sensual retro-soulish song where Prince sings in falsetto. It got these jazzy infleunces too. "Willing and Able" got gospel choirs in the back and accoustic guitars. A very good song on it's own right.

"Gett Off", with it's hip hop influented sound and introduction of NPG doesn't need further presentation. A big hit and a funky hip hopish number with very explicit lyrics. "Walk Don't Talk" is funny, and it's extremly catchy and it adds sound fom cars. "JugHeads" is hip hop sounding with raps and cool sounds, but it's one of the weaker songs here, but Prince raps on here. "Money Don't Matter Tonight" is a wonderful romantic ballad, it takes up issues like gambling, finding partners for invetsment and killing kids in order to control oil supply. The message is clear though, it's far more important to have a soul then to have cash. "Push" is another hip hop sounding sound, and like the other simular one's it's catchy but lacks a good hook. "Insatiable" is a great erotic slow jam with horns. Lush and beautiful. "Live 4 Love" is another hip hop sounding song, starts with an original robotic countdown. This one also offers a psychedelic guitar solo and a rap. A beautiful closer to a near-masterpiece.

Conclusion, Diamonds and Pearls was a new chapter in Prince's music, he joined the hip hop revolution of the early 90's where basically all hip music had a flavour of hip hop. However, not all songs are hip hop sounding, many still sound like the old Prince of the mid 80's. As a result this album is very rich and is full of variety. Psychedelics, Hip Hop, Romantic Soul and Pop. Perhaps it sound a little unfocused but in the end it's a fantastic album where Prince shows all of his sides, also a big commerical hit. Must have.

Commercial succes, but uneventfull........2005-12-03

What Prince made so special in the 80ties was his abbillity to create innovative music and at the same time appeal to a big audience. Diamond and Pearls appealed to the crowd, considering the 2 million copies it saled, but there is nothing new or exiting to be found on it. Prince even becomes a trendfollower by introducing rap in his music (Jughead) And offcourse there is "Gett off", a nice funk tune, but like all tracks on this cd, very mainstream. Many of the singles that were pulled from this album became great hits (Diamonds and Pearls, Cream, Money Don't Matter 2Night), but they are also amoungst his most uneventfull songs. It shows that being a commercial hit does not equal quality. Only "Willing and Able" and "Strollin'" are showing a tiny glimpse of Prince's true talent and his willingness to experiment with his music. Prince made over 30 albums in his career (I'm proud owner of all of them) and I'm sorry to say this album belongs in the bottomhalf of his catalogue. It was one of his biggest commercial successes and the album sold millions of coppies, but it is also very "middle of the road". It misses spontanity and originality. What is left is a well produced R&B album (perhaps even overproduced), with a handfull of good songs. But non will leave a lasting impression or define Prince's talent. If you seek to be introduced to Prince music get Purple Rain, Sign Of The Times or Lovesexy instead.

One of my favorite Prince CDs........2006-09-16

I remember actually buying this CD many moons ago not even hearing any of the songs on it but man, it was a great purchase and completely blew away all of my expectations that I had for his 1992 'symbol' album. This is easily one of his greatest CDs of his career. "My Name Is Prince" proves this with a heavy driving rhythm, hard-edged lyrics and an extremely funky feel throughout. The album is very experimental and far removed from his more conventional sounding records but it ranks as one of my favorites of his.

It keeps the story flowing..........2006-08-31

It seems that Prince decided to be a storyteller with this release featuring Mayte throughout the CD. But with each story, it flows into one another with spoken "segues" in between the songs. Also features Kirstie Alley as the frustrated reporter, possibly echoing Prince's real-life evasion of reporters! Very enjoyable as it includes the hits 7, SEXY M.F., & DAMN U!

Before Prince found his...well, whatever he found..........2006-06-25

Ever since Prince "converted" there's been a slightly subdued "edge" to his music. The "love symbol album," as this one is commonly referred, shows the singer at his most enigmatic, hedonistic, self-centered, controversial, and, to a certain extent, spiritual, than anything he produced up to that time, and, perhaps, more than his releases in the last decade. When he announces "My name is Prince" in the first track, the listener should be prepared. There is truly no one else like the guy from Minneapolis.

With backing on vocals and instrumentation by The New Power Generation, Prince has never sounded better and clocking in at just under seventy minutes, there's a lot of good music to behold.

The album comes with a "parental advisory" for the album's explicit lyrics and that disclaimer is warranted. Even though many of the songs are populated by profanities, they don't detract from the songs. In fact, unlike others who need a "cuss word" or two to supply a shock, Prince's songs are enhanced by a zinger here or there. But, mind you, the subject matter is definitely for the adult and caution should be advised when playing around "little ears."

Highlights include the aforementioned first cut, the James Brown-like "Sexy M.F.,", "The Max," "Blue Light," "I Wanna Meet with U," "Damn U," "The Flow," the gospel-influenced "7", and "And God Created Woman."

The entire album is a showcase for the funkiness of an artist that has been influential for close to three decades...with many more to come.

It's About The Songs,Stupid!.......2006-05-31

I always have been an admirer of Prince and his music and this is an CD,I must admit I always have trouble talking as a whole.It's a rock opera with a lot of obscure spiritual references.This is not part two of 'Lovesexy' though-the arrangements are far less jazzy and dissonant.Nonetheless Prince tries to do a lot on this album.Especially on "My Name Is Prince" this album is very sonic and noisy.For such a trendsetter Prince spends an awful lot of time following the hip-hop/new jack thing and in this day and age some parts of this album sound painfully dated.Some songs are pretty good such as "3 Chains O Gold" and the frenetic "The Max" but both showcase one problem-both songs turn into rap midway and don't really need to.For ballad purposes the better song is "The Morning Papers".There is a lot of variety besides the heavy hip hop experimentation such as two great rock tunes-"The Continental" and "7",the latter being one of his standards.As far as funk tunes one was a hit-the somewhat rap oriented "Sexy MF",which actually works very well and the more bare bones "The Sacrifice Of Victor",with it's nostolgic take on civil rights.If this album had been wittled down to an album containg nine or 10 of the best songs here,including most the ones mentioned above this would have been a classic Prince album.But due to artist's tendency in the early 90's to fill every available space on a CD this ended up being an obscure rock 'soap opera' that features too much information and music that distracts from some good seperate songs that are wonderful.In my opinion not exactly the highest point in Prince's career.

A Masterpiece.......2006-05-28

I signed up to this web site to pay this album its just due. Largely overlooked, this CD was one of Prince's crowning acheivements. If 1999 was a sign of what was to come with Purple Rain, then Diamonds and Pearls was Prince warming for the Symbol album. The album finds Prince sucessfully covering more musical ground in 75 minutes than most artists would attempt in their entire career. There's something here for everyone - Rock (The Continental), Dance (Melt With U), Reggae (Blue Light), Funk (The Maxx, Sexy MF, My Name is Prince) and everything in between (Damn U, Arrogance and Sacrafice of Vistor). Oh and if you need a hit, this the album where the single 7 is from. Each song has its own distinct personality and so well written that they stay in your head after just one listen. I must admit, this is not my favorite album (that title goes to his 1987 classic Sign O' The Times), but its one that shouldn't be overlooked. When people ask me which Prince album they should try first, I always recommend this one as it can not be categorized... most people should find much of this album appealing. He trades in the raunch of the 80's for style and sophistication. The album has it's sexy moments, but they are much more subtle. If you are a music fan, but not a Prince fan - this is an album you should check out!

awesome.......2006-05-24

An aggressive, infectious dance album that forces me to stand up and move while listening to it. It has aged wonderfully! Heck, it could've been released yesterday and be hailed as an instant classic. "Voodoo People" is probably the most memorable track, but "Their Law" and "Poison" are just as good in my opinion. This is a 10!

'It's like being in a fight'.......2006-02-26

I 've been a prodigy fan since day one and I can clearly remember the first time I listened to this album. To be honest, at first I wasn't too sure, after all my love of the prodigy was based on the old skool breakbeat of 'Experience' (another 5 star album) and I was only 15. But, as I listened to it more I began to realise just what a monumentous achievement it was. This album gets better with time, and for electronic music, that is very rare indeed. Jilted was nominated for the mercury music prize on its release in '94. Jilted is Liams piéce de resistance, he is yet to produce anything remotely as good as this album. Its dark, its edgy, its loud and its agressive and thats what the prodigy is about. The intro cheekily signaled Liams intention to stay underground and then bursts straight in to the fat chunky beats and breaking glass of Break and Enter, pure class. Everything is perfect, the production, the samples, the 'fists in the air' beats. Its a real anti establishment record. Stick it on, crank up the bass and try and hear all the layers of madness that Liam lovingly crafted onto this record. An audio catharsis, buy it.

The 'Reign In Blood' of dance music.......2006-02-12

A lot has changed between 'The Experience' and this album, their debut was poppy, easy-listening and somewhat normal techno. I see it as their most danceable act with cheap ideas who seemed to work out very well. It was easy to see they were skilled, but could we expect the next album would sound like THIS?! It's much tougher, heavier, it's more alternative and at the same time extremely ambitious! Everyone should have heard Voodoo people or No Good on a party once in their life. The first mentioned has a lot of guitarparts with some kind of subtile western atmosphere and was together with 'one love' used for the 'Hackers'OST. The second has a vocal sample of Kelly Charles. Also the alternative rockscene is very charmed by the darker classics such as 'their law' and 'poison'. Overall I think everyone with a passion for danceable music should enjoy this: Horrifying babycrying, formule 1 races,shredding guitars,flute solos, extra-terrestrial life, shattered glass and beauty it's all here!

Very interesting and energetic rave music - it's not for everyone, but rave and electronic fans will love it!.......2005-12-29

"Music For The Jilted Generation" may have more interesting songs musically, but "The Fat Of The Land" is completely made up of great sounding songs. The problem with "Music" is that it starts off incredibly well and then starts to get uneven. What I mean by that is that the first songs are so good and instantly catchy that they basically overshadow the rest of the album - the rest is good, don't get me wrong, but it will probably take you a while to like the rest (they'll grow on you). As opposed to "The Fat Of The Land", "Music" is more interesting than it is fun. The songs are fun, yes, but they aren't trying as hard to be as memorable or as catchy as anything on "The Fat Of The Land" - you're going to be more interested in the intricacies of the songs I bet. This approach may not be for everyone (I bought the album expecting more songs like "Firestarter" and "Breathe", for instance), but rave fans and those who truly appreciate music will love it. Also, "Their Law", "Break & Enter", "Voodoo People", "Speedway" and "Poison" are all very fun and interesting rave songs that alone satisfy the purchase of this CD, but I'm sure you'll come to like the rest in time. I'd highly recommend this for rave and techno fans, but I'm not sure whether other genre fans will like it.

Highlights include:
"Break & Enter"
"Their Law"
"Voodoo People"
"Speedway"
"Poison"
the rest grow on you

After Emancipation's three discs and Crystal Ball's four-pack, here's good news for folks with day jobs: Newpower Soul is one CD. The bad news? It may be less than two hours long, but it isn't any less indulgent or erratic. The fault lies in the Artist's seeming unwillingness to keep abreast of musical trends. It's odd that a musician who, at his height, redefined black music by going against the grain is now content to dredge up the most innocuous prefab funk and expect his fans to take it as innovation. Where once we partied like it was 1999, now the former Prince just wants us to "Push It Up!" to a woeful reprise of Emancipation's bland "Jam of the Year." This is funk as good-time boogie music, which of course it can be, but once he infused the bass line with a sly apocalyptic vision that meant more than just "get down." Unfortunately, on Newpower Soul there's little to be heard of the Artist's raging guitar lines--a sign, perhaps, that the prolific star has a rock record in the works? Best are midtempo tracks like "Come On," which motivates on a slinky slurred synth pattern and has that winking sexuality we associate with the Artist. Not bad but not great either, Newpower Soul is a minor speed bump on the long road that is the Artist's spectacular career. --Amy Linden

Customer Reviews:

Well,.......2006-08-31

I think he was trying to experiment with this release because his songs doesn't seem to flow as effortlessly as his other hit CDs/albums. His strongest songs has got to be UNTIL U'RE IN MY ARMS AGAIN and WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEBODY.

Very Creative No Question!!.......2006-08-31

This is my first review on a Prince album. I can not beleive there are reviews that negative about this gem! I mean sure we all have different tastes and we are not alike, thankfully. Anyone who says this album is not any good, has really not even listened to it at all, AT ALL, seriously, this has got to be the most creative, sexual, one of them all, and not to mention all the different styles and effects on this one! "The One" is truly beautiful typical Prince song and all the great stories like on "Shoo-Bed-Ooh", and the hardcore dance grooves like "Freaks on this side" and "New Power Soul" and "Mad Sex" and "Push it up"!!!! Come on now people, please do not keep others from this one, cause this is it! Prince shines on this album, he is at almost his finest!
You all will love this album, trust me, get it, sit back and INJOY! I know I do, even after all these years, and do not let the fact of that there were no songs that were commercial on the cd stop, songs do not need to be commercial to be good!!!

Painful, but has its moments.......2005-06-23

Like Queens `Hot Space`, or Dave Matthews `Everyday` this album can be seen two or three ways: Sheer Rubbish, a change in direction, or just an album that takes some getting used to. Six months later, I can say that I am still undecided. It has its few good moments, like The One or Wasted Kisses. Otherwise all the songs blend into one long generic R&B/Rap album. The good news is that he released a much better album the following year. But you should take a listen for yourself.

Weak, uninspired album with one decent, hidden track.......2005-04-14

I love Prince, but this is his weakest album to date. Prince actually played some AMAZING shows with Chaka Khan and Larry Graham in support of this album, and he also had complete artistic control making it; knowing this makes NEW POWER SOUL all the more disappointing. It sounds musically uninspired - a lot of Prince's trademark moves are here, the multi-track vocals, the nice licks, risque lyrics, etc. and the production is pretty smooth, but the final result sounds languid. In fact, compared to 1996's EMANCIPATION or 2001's RAINBOW CHILDREN (two better examples of his post-Warner Bros. work), NEW POWER SOUL sounds pretty boring.

"New Power Soul", "Mad Sex", and "Push It Up" have their moments, but they fizzle out quickly. The single "Come On" is the best upbeat tune/jam on this album, but after that first chorus, the funk doesn't hold up. There's some rudimentary bottleneck guitar to shake things up, but it comes off pretty weak. The other single, "The One," did better on the charts, but not enough to be called a 'hit,' not even a modest one; compared to "Adore" or MUSICOLOGY's "Call My Name," "The One" sounds really weak.

The one track worth your time is "Wasted Kisses." It's a hidden track - you have to skip past a whole bunch of blank tracks to track #49 to hear it - and it's a fine ballad. Easily the best thing here by a wide margin, if iTunes's online store ever sells it, I'd get it instead of buying the whole CD.

Luckily, a LOT of people seem to be selling this disc used for $1, so if you find a cheap copy, consider getting it for "Wasted Kisses," but don't pay much more for it.

Give New Power Soul some Love Y'all!.......2004-07-18

This album is very interesting because some of the songs are really good and others are either ok or not good. The songs that are good are "New Power Soul", "Freaks on this Side", "Come On", "When you love Somebody", and "I like Funky Music." These are just good funk/soul tunes that any fan of Soul and Funk would like. One more song that is good but kind of questionable is the song "Mad Sex". It's questionable because of the title. I mean the title is somewhat of a "Controversy". But, it is a good tune just heads up on the song from a lyric perspective. So Give it a listen, but if you say "I like it but the words are a little bad" Don't worry thats ok. There are still five other good songs. So this album over and out is an eight out of ten on scale of one out of ten. But perhaps the most interesting part of the album is the fact that Chaka Khan sings background vocals for the album. She does a good job. So, if you like Chaka Khan and her music, you should definantly give this album a good listen. Trust me, you'll be surprised.

"Harsh Generation" has one motive in mind - to get your adrenaline flowing. Distorted vocals, acidic synth lines, pummeling bass lines, and jagged melodies streamline the release to make it the most addictive Grendel assault to date.

THE CHILD DEVIANT!.......2007-06-06

As of 2007, this is the best Grendel album. I thought 'Prescription Medicine' (prior album) was just ok. This album is way more interresting in every way. The song "Hate" is amazing! Other songs like "The Judged Ones", "Remnants", and "B.A.A.L (Deliver Me)" have great Electro-Industrial beats and the vocals are clear. The production on this album is excelent, and it seems that Grendel have matured in every way. This is a strong EBM album. Verry aggressive dance music for the black herd. If I had to compare this album musically...I would say it's simulur to [:SITD:], and Combichrist.

Does the world really need the glorious pop gems of Abba to be slavishly rerecorded by a bunch of Swedish teenagers? The answer in this case is no. The A*Teens alter the near-perfect disco anthems with only hints of more modern, high-tech tweaks. By staying true to the tunes, the A*Teens are really just a tribute band, lacking in any imagination, irony, or insight into how to introduce such songs as "Mamma Mia" and "Dancing Queen" to the next generation. Those familiar with Bjorn, Agnetha, Frida, and Benny, after all, are probably already familiar with Gold, which showcases most of these tracks and renders The Abba Generation redundant. And those who can't stomach the sugar-coated sprightliness of "Take a Chance on Me" wouldn't touch this tribute with an old platform shoe, anyway. Skip the substitutes and go for the original. --Heidi Sherman

HOT!!!!.......2007-03-08

Prince dropped a remix everybody can kick it to. Clubs, sitting at home, driving, This cd is HOT!!!!

It's Prince.......2003-07-30

It's Prince...what else needs to be said.....

Love, love, Violet!!!!!!!.......2002-10-28

I, enjoying Prince, to no end of course buy the maxi singles. Gett Off is a terrific song and the reinterpretations of this classic are beautiful but what makes this CD stand out and become a huge twist on an already great song is Violet the Organ Grinder. Using some of the same melodies and bass beats, Prince creates a whole new spin on Gett Off, a darker, more intimately sexually graphic song than Gett Off! Which one might think impossible but true!
Buy it, buy it, buy it!

still digging this Jam!!.......2002-06-26

this was the Jam for the Summer of 1991.the Groove took me a while to fully get into but once it hit I was feeling the Jam.the Re-Mixes were cool as well.the "diamonds&pearls" album on a whole was Soft when Compared to the Edge of this track.

The Greatest "Artist" of All Time!.......2002-02-09

"2 Whomever it May Concern, u must come to your senses, there are no KINGS on this earth only PRINCEs". "His name is PRINCE & HE IS FUNKY"!
As always, Prince has remained true to his name. He never ceases to amaze me. I remember watching the Gett OFF vhs when it first dropped in '91, in complete awe! And even in 2002, this is certainly a masterpiece. This CD is a funky,"LOVESEXYMUTHA".

To all the Purple People in this world, if you don't own it, buy it, you will "GETT OFF" to "VIOLET THE ORGAN GRINDER"!

Customer Reviews:

Lost..........2006-07-15

This disc is nothing compared to his first album. Production wise this LP is... meh... and that's the problem. Lyrically Shyheim grew and his voice deepened, but lack luster beats make this album hardly worth repeating. Probably the reason for the such blah production has to do with Shyheim merging with Noo Trybe, which is known for acts like Scarface, Luniz, Big Mike etc. Yes, Gangstarr was on that label, but Premier and Guru still did the production on "Moment of Truth," but lo and behold Scarface made a cameo.

I guess the problem with Shyheim's 2nd record is just the fact that it doesn't sound like a Wu-Tang record. It has its moments when it gives you what you want, but then on the next track it changes style, coast and theme. Underground, grimey one track, pop sounding the next loosely tied together.

I listened to this LP over and over again and actually forgot I had it for years. After years of not listening to the LP I gave it one more chance... then I put it on ebay.

"Lost..." simply is that, lost. It doesn't capture the energy and magic that his 1st album had. Maybe he lost his hunger, maybe he lost focus... but after this LP he lost a listener.

On another level.......2006-01-20

This kid seems like he is just on another level of rap. The album is perfect from the beats to the lyrics. The production is just right, none of the beats control the album shyheim takes care of everything. When you hear him rap it's like he's explaining his life and times and the beats explain his emotions and he keeps it raw and real. He has a unique voice, his lyrics and delivery are both on point even though his voice isn't deep it still captures your attention. I agree with the last reviewer this is the type of album that is so smooth it can put you to sleep. Shyheim goes hard on every track and he brings you a perfect album that you need to have in your collection.

Shaheim Shaolin Syle.......2005-11-05

Not for the Hardcore Wu-Tang fan this is(Believe it or not) a laid back type album smooth mellow you could even listen to it late at night and drift off to sleep not of boredom but of smoothness

nice very smooth,and ruff.......2005-11-04

this one will be his best for ever...no matter how many albums he drop,also a must by for those who dont have it.

SOMEONE FROM MY GENERATION STANDING FIRM WITH THE WU.......2005-10-26

Shyheim came out in 93/94 and this album (his second) came out in 96 and I have to say I was very impressed. This album unlike his first although it was still good also sounds like a wu album, with darker production finally some tracks produced by Rza the rest produced by the same people that did the first it delivers on being a great headnodder.
Shyheim despite his age at the time is very good on the mic and it is easy to understand why he was given membership to the Wu-Tang Clan.

This ranks as one of the best wu affiliated albums around and I recommed that if you are a fan of the wu or you just like good hip hop you shoud give this a try.
