Format:Audio CD
The only words to decribe this album are that it is a work of flawed genius, but we have come to expect that from The Artist. The album is spread over 3 CD's, each being exactly 60 minutes in duration, with each CD having it's own style. The first CD has some gems like Somebodys Somebody, Betcha by Golly Wow, I Can't Make You Love Me and In This Bed I Scream. The second CD has more of a sexual theme with tracks such as Sex In The Summer (complete with his then pregnant wifes ultrasound playing in the background), One Kiss At A Time, The Holy River and Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/ Wife (this song was played at The Artists wedding). The third CD on this album is a little odd, with the style ranging from techno through to house, then rap, onto pop and then finishing with gospel! The standout tracks on this final CD are New World, La,La,La Means I Love U, The Love We Make and the fantastic cover of Joan Osbournes' classic song One Of Us. There are a lot of great tracks on this CD, but also there are a few that just don't make it. But Prince fans have learned to appreciate the mans inability to make a completely flawless album. Overall then, I would heartily recommend this album to any Prince fan.

After owning this album for sometime,and speaking as a true Prince fan ,this is a must for all fans.The variety of songs on this three cd compilation is awesome,from the 1st cd containing classic funk tracks such as Jam of the year with the artist playing some of his wildest guitar solos to a cover of What can i say to make you love me is such the variety.From the second cd containing such tracks as The holy river,and the 3rd containing a recent song from a well known tv advert,The Artist again shows that he is not afraid to experiment,be himself and record the music that he wants to record.After recent disappointing albums by his standards,this truly places The Artist back up there with the gods.,

Just bought the album for 3 CD's the work is good considering he released this with 2 other albums that same year.
The 1st cd is Prince showing what he does best, strictly funk!
Coming to the second cd, is the laid back side of the album which is a 180 degreee turn from the 1cd!
The last CD is the darkest yet the the funk is still fresh and present throughout, even when compared to the current
crop of music genre's today
I would put this as one of his best albums in the 90's

Emancipation
I must admit, it's taken me some time to get into this album. It's the volume of material that slowed me down. Read more

Definitely worth getting.
Emancipation is,for some reason,always available second-hand on amazon's marketplace for absurdly cheap prices-if you like Prince,buy it now! Read more

excellent Prince material
The point people seem to miss with Prince is that he isn't interested in releasing commercially successful albums. Read more

Stunning, too long though!
This album proves that you can get too much of a good thing. there isn't one song that could be called less than good and most are brilliant but three hours of it gets a bit much. Read more
