This album is easily more the kind of stuff I heavily like from Prince. All the synthetic drums that I was having issues with on Sign O The Times, doesn't bug me here because the drums help build to the atmosphere instead of clash.
And all the long songs don't drag. I mean it's not how it was in albums like "Songs in the Key of Life" where some songs just have a repeated ending that somehow made the songs more potent when it kept looping, but the songs here don't drag at all.
