Album Description
Available in: Country Icon
The Slaughterhouse is the twenty-ninth studio album by Prince. The album was released as MP3s through his website, NPG Music Club. The album's title comes from the first line of "Silicon:" "welcome 2 the slaughterhouse". The tracks consist of material previously available on the same website back in 2001, although some may have rearrangements of music and/or lyrics. "2045: Radical Man" was released on the Spike Lee Bamboozled soundtrack in 2001. "Peace" and "The Daisy Chain" were released as limited edition CD singles during Prince's 2001 Hit + Run Tour.

User Album Review
Volume two of what was supposed to be a seven disk set, The Slaughterhouse was released with volume one, The Chocolate Invasion. The album takes its name from Silicon, which starts off “Welcome to the slaughterhouse”. The songs are a collection of earlier available MP3s from the NPG Music Club and repackaged as two albums when the club itself was in need of a reboot. The Slaughterhouse is often excluded in Prince’s discography as one of his studio albums, but it is in every essence a compilation of previously unreleased and studio-finished music and so must be counted. If you are looking for rare releases from Prince’s vault you are in the right place. The songs of note are Silicon for its pulsating backdrop. Y Should Eye Do That, When Eye Can Do This? is refreshingly crazy. Props N’ Pounds, The Daisy Chain and Northside maintain the usual Prince quality, but the best is Peace and remains one of the great finds of the club. It is also a pleasure to see 2045: Radical Man packaged into a proper Prince collection. However, the turn of the Millennium was an off period for Prince and one fans don’t return to often, this collection still shows his spark during that period, which N.E.W.S. and Xpectation succeeded in only to consign 2000 to 2003 to Prince’s flattest period and lowest commercial appeal. The music club was the light nestling at the end of ’03s dark tunnel. Because The Slaughterhouse is a compilation rather than a collection of songs conceived for one album it’s makes quite an eclectic listening experience.
