#1136 Prince - 1999

More so than the rest of Prince's stuff I've heard, this feels less like an album and more like a romp through Prince's actual brain, rendered digital. The structures are unpredictable but feel right; the songs go on for long enough to get hypnotic but still stay interesting throughout; the whole thing is full of delightful surprises: just like having sex with Prince, he'd have you believe.

And yeah, there's a lot of sex on this album. Man he's a weird dude, and he made an album that's appropriately slinky and synthy and funky and fun 4/5
