Chaos and disorder

"Like Come before it, Chaos and Disorder is a contractual obligation album for Prince, a way to get himself out of his contract with Warner Brothers. Unlike Come, Chaos and Disorder doesn't sound disjointed and pasted together - it's a fun, offhanded throwaway. For the first time since 1987's Sign 'O' the Times, Prince has made a pop/rock album, complete with squealing guitars and sighing melodies ... So, Chaos and Disorder isn't Prince's best or most important work, but it is a really fun listen, especially if you're willing to accept it as what it is - a record that does nothing more than rock".

"Prior to Emancipation, Prince had released Chaos & Disorder as a matter of course to fulfil his contractual obligations. Even without trying (it seems) he managed a charting single in Dinner With Dolores. The whole of Chaos & Disorder is arguably the highlight of these three reissues. It has long been out of print and contains some real quality with Prince turning up the guitar ... If you're a firm worshipper at the Purple House, you'll love hearing these records again, and owning them".
