Why does every critic forget about The Gold Experience?

Let me ellaborate:

Musicology - a pretty good album, easy for casual fans to listen too with a few great songs

The Rainbow Children - too artsy for most folks, the deep voice narrator and experimentation turned most people, aside from die-hards, away at the start

Emancipation - could have been great and better than Musicology if condensed to one disc, but was too long for most people to digest

The Gold Experience - his best album of the past 10 years, nothing weak, many incredible songs, the only thing that bogs it down is the computer narrator for me. An album that is out of print and rarely mentioned but should be in any Prince fan's collection.
