was Prince's 14th album (and second with the New Power Generation) released in 1992. The title is often referred to as Love Symbol due to the symbol having no pronounciation. Sometimes it is referred to as Prince and the New Power Generation as well. The album is somewhat more consistent than Diamonds and Pearls and is usually considered a better album in general amongst fans. The singles "My Name Is Prince" and "Sexy M.F." did considerably well on the charts and 7 was a top ten hit. This album was to be considered Prince's last real mainstream effort as far as sales and visablility went until 2004's Musicology. The album was originally conceived as a rock-soap opera with various spoken segues throughout. However in a last-minute attempt to add an additional song, most of the segues had to be cut for album length. The few that remained were somewhat confusing in context, and many believed they should have been either kept intact or eliminated altogether. The album also debuts Mayte Garcia, who also plays a part in the album's storyline and would become Prince's wife in 1996. In a dispute with Warner Bros., Prince would later change his name to the infamous symbol.
