Ums make short: The following 80 minutes more exciting than many action movie. No song sounded like the others, lurking in each groove new acoustic bulb moments, really clever melodies, constantly changing instrumentation ... I was really flabbergasted.
To conceive such a hodgepodge of different styles without leaving even once to lose the thread, let alone break up the overall structure, which you can still be regarded as doomed mature performance today.
Fish out individual highlights from the tracklisting is hard for me, because here - the main attraction in the whole of the song is - as with most Prince albums. Nevertheless, HOT THING sultry dance floor, SLOW LOVE the ultimate seducer ballad, If I Was Your Girlfriend a lesson in musical ingenuity and IT'S GONNA BE A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT sweaty Stadium Funk Rock.
If there is indeed such a thing as a best Prince album is, it is probably this. One of the best albums of all time, it is all.
