Love Symbol
Love Symbol is the fourteenth studio album by American recording artist Prince, and the second of two that featured his backing band the New Power Generation. It was released on October 13, 1992 by Paisley Park Records and Warner Bros. Records. It was originally conceived as a "fantasy rock soap opera" with various spoken segues throughout, and contains elements of R&B, pop, soul, funk, and rock styles. While some of the seques were cut for time, the original storyline became the basis of Prince's direct-to-video film 3 Chains o' Gold. -Wikipedia

It’s a big undertaking. There’s a lot going on. It’s an odyssey.
-
Albumism
As a collection of songs, the Love Symbol album isn’t as cohesive and focused as its predecessor, but it is more musically adventurous.
-
Local Current Blog
Overtly metaphysical in its self-reflection and spiritual awakenings, Love Symbol has cemented itself as a pivotal album in Prince’s career.
-
All Music
has some of the finest, most inventive music of Prince's career
-
The Tiger Manifesto
it is the most exciting, engaging album he released after 1990
-
The Quietus
The story of Love Symbol allowed him to play out all of his ideal roles, even if they occasionally came into opposition: avenger, trickster, peacemaker, lover, aesthete.

Rock NYC
It feels like a masterclass in funk, it leaves New Jack trembling in its wake and Funkadelic (not to mention whoever James Brown was working with) looking behind their shoulders.

the songs on Love Symbol function just as well as their own thrillingly cinematic statement independent of Prince's grand visual dimension

'Love Symbol' remains an impressive beast

a heady tour de force that proclaimed just how he intended to spend the new decade

The Guardian
His name is Prince. And he is funky. So he tells us on the album whose official title is the unpronounceable symbol he will later adopt instead of Prince.
