Fun album with big moments like When Doves Cry and Purple Rain. I found myself wondering "when is purple rain going to play" when listening. I love prince and think this is a fun album to throw on.
Prince's main rival in the pop world was no doubt Michael Jackson back in the day and with an album like this, you can see why. For consistency, you could probably rate it above Thriller. While the 'Synth-iness' of it does sound a tad dated unlike Michael's older records, it's still brilliant. For me 'Darling Nikki' is the only skippable one of the lot with the other eight being some of the best tracks you'll hear to come out of the '80s.
Best Tracks: Let's Go Crazy, The Beautiful Ones, Computer Blue, When Doves Cry, I Would Die 4 U, Baby I'm a Star, Purple Rain
