Ranked the third best Prince album here, behind the obvious two (which I played to death). I’ve heard quite a few of his albums, but don’t think I’ve ever heard this one 😮 Sometimes still find some nuggets. (EDIT: Noticed artist rank doesn't include albums by other variations. This album would otherwise be 4th behind SOTT, 1999 & Purple Rain. Added to list of issues to check into).

"This is a classic album of Prince's and his first truly innovative one. A punk funk extravaganza with blazing guitars, amazing keyboards, frenzied vocals and sexually obsessed lyrics. 500 steps ahead of everyone else and it started Prince's croosover."
