Album Notes
Personnel: Prince, Kirk Johnson, Rosie Gaines, Scrap D., Steppa Ranks, Michael Mac.The New Power Generation: Mr. Hayes, Tommy Barbarella, Sonny T., Michael B.The NPG Hornz: Michael Nelson, Steve Strand, Brian Gallagher, Kathy Jenson, Dave Jenson.Recorded at South Beach Studios, Miami, Florida and Paisley Park, Chanhassen, Minnesota.For his farewell to Warner Bros., Prince digs into his vast musical closet and emerges with a guitar-led rock ensemble to rival his earlier (think PURPLE RAIN), harder-edged albums. As with any fashionable dresser, Prince realizes the importance of accessorizing, and what he presents is rock-tinged with elements of funk and the blues.He kicks off with the title track, tongue-in-cheekily dubbing himself a "no name reporter" and commenting on today's world: "Carjack/Used to fix flat tire." The mixture of guitar and organ riffs, samples and record scratching on this song may seem chaotic, but it works. Prince's wailing vocals and heavy guitar riffing are right at home in the straightforward "I Like It There." The album's longest song, "I Rock, Therefore I Am," is a masterfully funky affair that combines both West Coast and reggae rap styles with jazzy horns and rocked-out guitar soloing.Prince has always been an icon of style, and his music has reflected his eclectic tastes. CHAOS AND DISORDER is a well-crafted piece tailored to the enigmatic guitarmeister's rock specifications. From Prince's closet to your ears.

Editorial Reviews
...the finest ex-Prince album you never heard. If some unknown had released this much rock and soul, bruise guitar and gifted trash talk, fans would rave. 'I Will' is the miracle power ballad with winged solo, 'I Rock, Therefore I Am' a defiant shout...
Spin (01/01/1997)

...his best in nearly a decade....Prince seems to have found his former self and his sense of humor. He's also recalled how to rock. On the title track he plugs in his guitar, fires up the Hammond organ, and sounds genuinely pissed off that the world has gone awry...
Musician (10/01/1996)

3 Stars - Good - ...a sarcastic kiss-off to the banality, the corruption and the tragic lack of funkiness of the corporate caucasian world....As a guitarist, Prince is at his foxiest in some time...

This album has to be his best work since Diamonds & Pearls. Its got something for everyones taste. A very rock album with a sweet caring side. From the sounds of this album, Prince was frustrated about something and he's put all that frustration into this compilation with fantastic results. This guy never ceases to amaze me with his talents. Originally bought back in the nineties, im gonna but it again cos its so great.

Bit of a prince enthusiast I am, didn't even know this album existed until very recently, so what a lovely suprise. It's got big prince, rockin prince, sweet prince and plenty of funk prince...he also rhymes Delores with Brontosauraus look out for that! Sounds a bit like Diamonds and Pearls with some big swingin balls attached.
