Summary: Let It Pour
Comment: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today, to get through this thing called life". My personal handbook I use to get through life, is this album. Clocking in at a ballsy 45 minutes, the album takes you--whether you're ready for the ride or not--on a journey of unprecedented scale. Prince holds no punches musically or lyrically on this tour de France of an album. Head bashing riffs, toe tapp'n beats, and tear jerking melodies collide here in a musical harmonic convergence. Simply put: you can go no wrong with Purple Rain. Now go, shower in its glory.

Summary: Who says a funk band can't play rock?
Comment: That Minneapolis sound...wow, it has all been stated by others, but the intro to 'Purple Rain'...that BIG, lush, twangy, warm, full-bodied Richenbacker 330/12 string is one of the masterpieces of Prince's career. He does more with those few bars than others do with an entire cd. It sets up a great song and lays the foundation for Prince to come in later with his odd looking, but razor sharp axe, and slice and dice his way through a song that has held up amazingly well since 1984...Man, what a guitar!

Summary: A Classic CD
Comment: This has got to be the best CD ever recorded. It was hot back in 1984, and it's still hot!

Summary: decent
Comment: I ordered this product and within a day received an email confirming that my purchase had been sent and had I received it yet and I had not received it yet and wasn't concerned at the time but after a week of it not arriving I wrote an email and got a response that it was lost in transit and the sender then agreed to send another cd in its place because there were none of the one I had purchased then a few days later received the cd I had originally had ask for only to see that it was so badly damaged that none of the tracks could be listened to and along with that came another cd that the sender had never discussed with me and it was something I would never listen to and it was a good gesture but in customer service you should have asked what the consumer would enjoy not assume and send something I disliked and just threw away anyway and the sender enclosed a letter stating that if they had gotten another copy of my originally purchase it would be sent and to this day has not showed up...

Summary: In one word...
Comment: ..."masterpiece". All this album does is take me back to a place in time that is gone forever and that I wish so dearly that I could go back and relive again. It was a happier time in my youth and a sample of what the music business was like in the late 80's and early 90's. When will it ever be like that again? If you haven't ever heard this album or seen the movie (where have you been the last 2-3 decades?), I'm envious of you. The experience of the first time will never leave you, I promise you.
