If there is one Prince record that comes even close to encapsulating the depth and breadth of his genius, it is this one. If it is not perfect, there nothing that can come closer to perfection. Only one artist could have made it - at any given time. This is what makes a piece a true masterpiece. When all the trend chasing and the marginal young chicks and punk ass producers - and the proverbial smoke - has cleared, Prince music like this will still endure through the ages. Whatever he may do to irritate some of us today can not invalidate such mastery and art of times gone by.

Well said and I totally agree.
