Out of 10 I would give the album a high 7 or a low 8. It ends on such a downer for me (Positivity just drains me of energy). Plus the sound on Alphabet Street and some other tracks has this shot-gun harshness to it that is a bit jarring when I listen to it. Overall, I like the album alot. But, I just think I never got over how it was released in the shadow of the brilliant SOTT.

Glam Slam is often my favourite moment of Prince genius. Bit hard to rate a perfect album. | |

For ages I didn't think much of Positivity but after hearing the live versions on a few bootlegs recently dayum I LOVE that song Every song is great on this album I would only rank WHEN 2 r in Love and I Wish U heaven slightly lower than the rest | |

From best to worst:
I Wish U Heaven It’s one of those beautiful Prince songs that can completely stand on its own. Dance On Fun and simple with great rhythm guitar Eye No Direc and impassioned. It makes Prince sound like a wacko street preacher, but you can’t deny that he really feels what he write about. Anna Stesia Nice, moody, and dark without being goofy like the dark songs on the black album. When 2 R In Love A great romantic song with sexy lyrics so well constructed that they could pass for high end porn. Alphabet St. Fun and funky, but a little vapid. Lovesexy Fun and funky, but a little shrill and rough around the edges. Glam Slam I love this one, but it sits on the edge of being a good Prince song and a filler track. Positivity An bad filler track. It’s not insipid like Free, but it’s still bad. | |

It's my least favorite of all the 1980s albums..
I don't hate any of the songs, but the only song I really play often is "Anna Stesia". I definitely think Lovesexy is the weakest album he released in the 1980s. | |

I enjoy listening to this one; however, I sometimes think that Dance On is out of sync. Don't as me why, I just do. Love the song Prince's Sarah | |

1. Alphabet Street
All the rest are crap.
- Eye No musically actually isn't terrible, but the lyrics suck
He said in an interview that it took 7 weeks to throw Lovesexy together...and it shows.
Now if you throw in the B-Sides...and extended mixes
1. Alphabet Street 2. Scarlet Pussy 3. IWUH (Part 3) (Take this beat) 4. Glam Slam (Escape) 5. IWUH (Part 2)
6. All the rest are crap
Now if you throw in other songs from that period that were officially published (at the time), but never made it to the album itself
1. Good Love 2. Alphabet Street 3. Scarlet Pussy 4. IWUH (Part 3) (Take this beat) 5. Glam Slam (Escape) 6. IWUH (Part 2)
7. All the rest are crap [Edited 4/14/12 17:11pm] | |

Very overrated album. Not terrible, but not 80's great either.
For me this album has always been the end of the Can Do No Wrong era.
Alphabet street is great, a solid- 9
I Wish U heaven- 8
Annastesia- 7
the rest 5's | |

My fave P album, and among my favorite of all time!
Anna Stesia - Great Song, probably number 2 all time on my P list with Adore being first Eye No - A chuch revival...either you get it or you don't Positivity - YES! Lovesexy Alphabet Street Glam Slam Dance On When 2 R In Love Eye Wish u Heaven (but the 12" version is killah
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |

Such imagination, focus and musicianship on this album. He had such vision, a true concept. Nothing else by anyone else sounds anything like this. I doubt they ever will. A truly remarkable album that brought me closer to music. I listen to it and it's one sitting. This is how an album should be. Art should not be Collection of songs but a cohesive while. I'll edit this when sober... | |

Interesting thread and an even more interesting album...I listened to this a few weeks ago in its 1 track version for the first time in decades, brought back memories for sure but certainly not the kick I got in 88...
Before 88, all P´s major albums were huge on their own, Lovesexy was the first where the live version (concert) was how the music was to be truly played, this has been the same ever since. Simply watch Lovesexy live in Dortmund and then listen to the CD, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out which one is better.
Prince has never stopped doing this , the TGE album being reduced to overproduced noise in comparison to the live and out-take versions, or to be honest anything he has done since. Prince discovered something very sacred in the SOTT/Lovesexy menopause, or to put it another way, we all know Mozarts music, but have we any boots of him doing it live???
PS if I am not mistaken, he probably found it in the U4 in Vienna If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

I don't feel like rating them individually.
I'll just say that I love "Glam Slam", "Anna Stesia"; "Dance On" and "Alphabet Street".
The rest is shit. 비 | |

I'm still baffled how people can not hear the pure brilliance of Glam Slam. The ending to that song... well he hasn't done anything that exciting for me in years. He can be so predictable lately. Still excellent but nothing to make me sit up and think "fuck!".
It's his age. Wonder's the same. At least Madge gets different people in. She fucking needs to mind you as she's throw-away at best | |

Lovesexy is in my top 3 Prince albums but it's a strange one.
I don't think all of the tracks are great if taken in isolation but as an album they add up to more than the sum of their parts.
Anna Stesia, Alphabet St and Positivity are my stand-out tracks. | |
