Please Help Me Decide W/Not NPGMC

Please Help Me,

I am a disconnected Prince fan. I always been atracted to Prince's music lyrically first and intrustmentally second. I realize that he is one the greatest musicians in the world but what the music world need right now is someone who can write great music that includes great instrustmentals and meaningfull (and not always cryptic) lyrics. I very cautious when come to subscribing to anything and Prince's latest musical direction worries me. Prince's work released through the normal outlets is not easy to get to say the least. It is also my judgement that the few things that have got out through normal outlets has lacked lyrical content. So NPG Club members please offer your honest evaluation the latest Prince material based on the quality of the lyrics. I haven't had the chance to sample any of his online releases. Please help me make my decison on whether or not I join the NPG Club. Rave and Rainbow Children are the last albums that I have really had the chance to sit down and evaluate. I didn't care much for either of them lyrically. Please use this scoring system :
Lyrical Scoring System

10 Very Best: Examples--Sign of Times, Adore, Crystal Ball Diamonds and Pearls, I Would Die for You, Money Don't Matter 2 Nite, 7, God Created Woman

8 Very Good: Examples -- Nothing Compares to You, Lady Cab Dirver, Kiss, Lovesign, P-Control, Don't Play me, Mountains

7 Fairly Good: Examples--Pope, Cherry Cherry, Take Me with You, Erotic City, Style, Come

5 Average : Examples -- Peach, Race, PoomPoom, The Truth, Scandalous

3 Poor: Examples-- Baby Knows, Get Your Groove On, Face Down(good & funky lyrically poor)

1 Worst: Example -- New Power Generation, PartyMan, Get Loose,( I realize that it is a dance and I do like it but lyrically it isn't good of course it was written to make you move not to make you think)

You will never be satisfied with Prince.
His middle name is cryptic.
Go listen to Springsteen or U2.

Plus your taste is questionable when you rate Style higher than Partyman.
