I have never been the biggest Prince fan, which I am sure would result in a public flogging in many circles. I really hadn't been exposed to his stuff, so this is my first foray into the Princeverse. It was interesting...
I was actually enjoying it quite a bit until "Lady Cab Driver." It sounded vaguely rape-y, what with the sound effects that I can only imagine were added to please the male listener. I ended up googling the song and apparently a lot of people have reached the same conclusion. So...um. That was weird, I guess.
Other than that, though, I genuinely enjoyed it. I do think the album peaked a little early in its runtime, but only means that it went from great to pretty good. RIP Prince.
RATING: 3/5
