Comments
This was actually the first Prince album I bought. I think I bought it before the movie came out, when Slash wore a Batman t-shirt. As an impressionable 15 year old, I bought into the hype.
“The Future”
One of the better songs on the album.
“Electric Chair”
Too much 80s snare but not a bad song.
“The Arms of Orion”
Duet with Sheena Easton, who I met when I worked at a light rock station. Sounds like a 90s Disney soundtrack duet.
“Partyman”
The biggest hit from the album. It’s a good song.
“Vicki Waiting”
Not a bad song.
“Trust”
Fast paced, almost like something The Time would do.
“Lemon Crush”
Pretty forgettable, though I do remember it.
“Scandalous”
I actually had forgotten this one.
“Batdance”
I do like the break here after the beat drops and it gets funkier.
