	The Harvard Crimson :: Arts :: One-Time Prince no Rave-ing Success (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic is the love-child of the Artist Formerly known as Prince and his new record label, Arista.
		This album attempts to answer the call Prince set forth a decade ago, to "party like it's 1999." But the impression that the album leaves behind is not of the Artist's music but rather of the pageantry behind it all.
		The pretension of the royal pain's latest album begins with a bizarre insert ranting about sheep's rights and urging everyone to "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic." The album's self-important title track is a sorry answer to the promise held out by the artist who previously claimed the year of 1999 as his own.

	Review@Music - Rave un2 the Joy fantastic (The Artist)
		The album opens up with the 80'ish Rave un2 the Joy fantastic, which in my opinion, is vintage Prince.
		This album is not as tiresome as the last 3 DISC emancipation album and thus being still a long record it manages to capture the essence of Prince.
		This is a great album to listen to, its has a very nice range to it from slow tempoed classics to disco RandB.

	UPTOWN commentary - RAVE UN2 THE JOY FANTASTIC
		Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, as O(+>’s first major release in three years and his second major label album following his split from Warner Bros., generated high expectations that unfortunately have yet to be met.
		Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic was certified gold on December 12th 1999 (gold requires the shipping of 500,000 copies and does not mean that 500,000 copies have actually sold).
		Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic made it clear that he is still eager to appeal to the youth market and that he wants to reach the broadest audience possible.

	Prince - Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic \| Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, ...
		His latest album, Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, an Arista recording, is yet another testament to his longevity in the music industry and his incredible talent.
		This album truly demonstrates the pure musical passion and depth of "The Artist" and is the most truthful presentation of his talents that I have come across.
		Overall this album is a great example of the diversity and evolution of a musician who has done so much to mold the music industry into what it is today.

	PRINCE IN PRINT
		Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, the Artist's first major-label album in three years, suggests his crap detector is still at least partially on the fritz.
		While much of 'Rave...' throbs with what we used to love Prince for (lascivious funk, wanton lust, a sorbet-light pop touch), and features, in his X-rated reading of Sheryl Crow's 'Everyday Is A Winding Road', an astonishing act of dogshit-to-diamond alchemy, we've heard it all before, and from this very source.
		Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic inspires optimism, as [The Artist] has realigned with a major -- Arista's Clive Davis, who might be brave enough to tell the unreliable hieroglyph the difference between wheat and chaff.

	Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic - Prince - Song Listings
		Instead, he sticks to his guns with Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, delivering an album that's frighteningly similar to the lackluster New Power Soul, only a little slicker and better, and with cameos.
		Rave, like its predecessor, is stilted and canned, clearly the work of one man with guitars, synths, and a drum machine.
		So, this is one for the dedicated, like every album he's made since he changed his name to a symbol.

	the Artist formerly known as Prince: Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic \| Nov 18, 1999
		But curiously, Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic, one of his most enjoyable and varied efforts of the '90s, credits an estranged friend of Symbol Man as the producer: Prince.
		And from the sound of Rave, the Artist reaches back to the days of 1999 (how appropriate) for inspiration—this collection is every bit as challenging and impenetrably great as 1999, even if it's not quite a classic in the same way.
		Even so, Rave's wildly frustrating inconsistency—there are plenty of clunkers here, like a misguided cover of Sheryl Crow's "Everyday is a Winding Road"—can make it a difficult album to digest.

	AudioRevolution.com CD Review The Artist RAVE UN2 THE JOY FANTASTIC
		Rave un2 The Joy Fantastic will test the loyalty of Prince fans in that recent releases from the Prince’s vaults (on Warner Brothers and NPG records) have displayed less than the brilliance true fans have come to expect from Prince’s 15 multi-platinum and 10 gold singles.
		Rave un2 The Joy Fantastic is a well-crafted pop record.

	Music: Rave On (The Boston Phoenix . 12-07-99)
		The music on Rave is the same sound -- whip-snap funk, keyboard buzz riffs, bittersoft melodies -- that Prince wrote two decades ago for his back-up band, the Time.
		Rave is Prince the inspired paradox, the rhythm in action.
		It goes directly to the heart of its matter, tells you only what you need to be told, does you the honor of assuming that you know what you want and so does Prince, and if he tells you, you will understand and respond.

	Prince: Album Directory
		The Black Album was a limited release in 1994 of the album originally cancelled in 1987.
		Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic is a remix album of Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic, only available through the NPG Music Club.
		We use what is affectionately referred to in the Prince community as "Princebonics" for our transcriptions, such as "2" instead of "too" and "to", "4" instead of "for", etc. This may conflict with official lyrics sheets but we felt it was more consistent this way.

	Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic \| The Onion - America's Finest News Source
		The buzz on Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic is that it marks his return not just to major labels, but to commercial ambition and accessibility.
		Though riddled with his patented eccentricities, Rave is indeed his most pop-oriented album in ages, a slight but welcome return to the pop arena that's as disposable as it is entertaining.
		He even seems to have come to terms with hip hop, thankfully leaving mic duty to the professionals (Eve, Chuck D) rather than flexing his own non-existent skills or granting exposure to the T.C. Ellises of tomorrow.

	Prince: Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic ---Ink Blot Magazine
		His first two albums showed him to be a slight but original talent; his third was 1980's Dirty Mind, which was a freaky sexual masterpiece, and the hits just kept on coming.
		Yes, he changed his name to 0-)>; yes, some of his albums under his new name were less than spectacular; yes, he is a multi-millionaire who wrote "slave" on his face to piss off Warner Bros.; and no, he can't rap.
		My rule is that I listen to an album five times before I make any kind of decisions about it one way or another.

		As usual, the multi-talented artist produced the album and provides most of the instrumentation himself.
		The elegantly unfolding sonic tapestry is marked by lush multitracked vocal harmonies, hard-grooving rhythms, and a kaleidoscope of keyboard colours and thick guitar tones.
		It's this combination of high-minded spirituality and pure physicality that lies at the heart of JOY FANTASTIC's artistic tension and its ultimate aesthetic success.

	Orlando Weekly - Music Review - Rave un2 the Joy Fantastic
		What puts "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic" somewhere in the neighborhood of relaxing is the fact that it's a Prince record -- in 1999 -- that demands as much intelligence, open-mindedness and playfulness from its audience as anything he might have done 20 years ago.
		Though never unruly, the album pushes and shoves its way through the funk, from stripped-down drum machines to Prince's pungently funky, post-Hendrix guitar growling.
		As for overall expectations, Prince has once again failed to lower his.

		After contractual disputes with Warner Bros. and a failed attempt at releasing his own albums, the Artist is supposedly re-recording his entire song catalog so that he will own his master tapes.
		We've probably heard the last of the Artist's truly gritty work, like the stuff long ago on "Dirty Mind" and "1999," but this album at least finds him more in control of his impulses (i.e.
