Not gonna lie, Purple Rain carries this album so much, that’s not to say I didn’t enjoy some of the other songs. My favourite part of the album is Prince’s voice, I love how he changes the texture of it to a nasaly, emotionally charged tone, I think it suits the tones of the guitars, strings and synths very well. Some of the things I didn’t like about the album was the super eccentric, super 80s sounding songs like I Would Die For You. I think Prince as an artist works way better on climactic and atmospheric rock tracks.
