The best thing about this album is that unlike every Prince album for the past decade or so it doesn't sound like Prince is trying to prove some point or other. Instead he is relaxing and doing what he does best, entertaining! The lyrics are his usual. Love, bragging and dippy philosophy!
He also mentions the War On Terror but his take on it is to encourage fairly vague peace and love vibes and unlikely to offend one way or the other.
The album recalls his eighties classics although it never quite reaches those peaks. Highlights include "Cinnamon Girl", the stately "A Million Days" and the funky title track. Although he has become a Jehovah's Witness he proves that being religious doesn't mean you cant be sexy. Especially on the track "On The Couch"
Prince plays and produces everything himself and the album's main weakness is that he doesn't seem to have absorbed any current musical trends and ideas, relying instead on his own trademark sound. That sound is great of course but some sort of progression to show this is a new, modern album would have been nice. However, this is a fun and consistent album and a worthy addition to any Prince fan's collection

Thanks for your op, having been a follower of the litle purple one for some years now the few releases have been a test of the listeners patience sounds like he's back on form! Thanks Milt
