A strange one for Prince, made during a strange point in his life. A bold but inconsistent
and unwieldy departure from the norm of the Purple One. At four tracks and sixty minutes,
the album is far too long and marked by too many strange passages to be considered good (or
cohesive, for that matter). "East" is probably the strongest cut on here whereas "West" is
an incoherent, messy number that refuses to build any reliable center. Kinda hard to rank
this one since it's too jumbled to put on as background music and entirely too long and
meandering to benefit from an in-depth, critical listen.
