The album is musically masterful. The title track is a classic, there are several hits, and such a funky variety that you don’t get bored (musically at least) over the double length album. Also - this 1982 album makes electronic music sound GOOD, not dated or foolish. Yet I’m not a fan of Prince’s hedonism, with my least favorite lyric being: “Work your body like a whore.” Prince has the occasional spiritual reference, but is most often amoral and occasionally just manipulative in his notorious sensuality. Favorite songs: “1999,” “All the Critics Love U in New York.” Other notes: “Delirious” anticipates “Let’s Go Crazy” from Purple Rain and is pretty fun. “Free” is a pleasant break as the album begins its descent. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
