Throughout his life, Prince could not be stopped from making music. Dude made over 40 records in less than 40 years, many of them indulgent and overlong. It’s, then, surprising, that his double albums are very few, and that this was the first.

Ah shit this fucking record. I like The Gold Experience, I like it quite a bit, but god can this album be frustrating sometimes.
