Prince was set to release the hard funk of The Black Album by the end of the year, yet he withdrew it just before its release, deciding it was too dark and immoral.
With Crystal Ball, Prince discovered that it's much more difficult to get records to an audience than it seems; some fans who pre-ordered their copies through Prince's website (from which a bonus fifth disc was included) didn't receive them until months after the set began appearing in stores.
Prince then released a new one-man album, New Power Soul, just three months after Crystal Ball; even though it was his most straightforward album since Diamonds and Pearls, it didn't do well on the charts, partly because many listeners didn't realize it had been released.

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.
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.

Setting up his own label, NPG (which was distributed by EMI), he resurfaced later that same year with the three-disc Emancipation, which was designed as a magnum opus that would spin off singles for several years and be supported with several tours.

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.
None of the songs qualify as major songs in Prince's canon, but that's part of the record's charm -- Prince [+] sounds like he's having a good time, and he could really care less what anyone else has to say.
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.

Chaos and Disorder is distinguished by its confusion; even the title admits that the album's fractured parts never resolve into a thematic whole.

Chaos and Disorder is the sound of the man repeating himself badly.
