Released in 1982... What? The hits off this album are timeless but many of the deep cut are definitely 80s synth pop. This is well produced album with Prince playing most of the instruments. I admire his talent but when found something interesting he over does it. You can here a lot of the soundscapes that eventually made Purple Rain such a great album but here I feel he was still figuring out how to use the electronic precussion and synth pads.
