What hurt this album for me, is that I listened to Purple Rain not that long ago. I really like Purple Rain, and I don't really think this album compares. What is very evident is that Prince was all alone in this venture. It lacks the collaborative sound of his previous albums. That being said, what he excels at in this recording is the new age, funky sound. Again, there is a drum machine throughout the album, which I don't like, but it defines and characterises Prince's sound.
