I gave it 3 1/2...really struggled over that one. Love title track, Sexuality, Do Me Baby, Let's Work, Private Joy and Jack U Off. Ronnie Talk 2 Russia is more of a concept than a fleshed-out song and Annie Christian has always left me cold. The low number of tracks on the album, and not really liking two of the tracks, made this a 3 3/4 star album. Ask me tomorrow and I would probably rationalize 4 stars easily.

It just sounded like a clean-cut version of Dirty Mind; without the rawness and roughness of the production. It took me a lot of listens and I can't even listen to some of the tracks. I guess I have to get used to it a little more. But for now, I'll have to give it 3 stars.

I totally agree with you ratings except I put an extra star next to Controversy.

1999 was the shit!!!! Most innovative lp of the 80's.

Apart from the title-track, Do Me Baby, & Let's Work, Controversy was never THAT good of a Prince album(IMHO).

And beside, I like Batman WAY better!!!
