Had a few cool riffs and licks but did not really get into any song as a whole.

It's like White Stripes / Iggy Pop without good hooks.

A strong 3, a weak 4.

The songs with the soul samples will live on as classics. The other tracks on this album feel of their time.

Loved the tone shift in the album, not something I have heard much on this list even from some of the more experimental albums.

A very strong 4.

Listened but it didn't really engage me, nor offend me. Some cool riffs here and there.

Bernard and Nile are just the best producers. This is a ridiculously good album that sounds incredible. They are incredible and that's before you get onto the vocals - which are also great!

Brilliant first half. Second half is very forgettable.

Why do so many songs involve people's names?

A good listen. Keeps you engaged all the way through!

Not too much filler or any duds really. The skits at the end of the tracks feel a bit awkward but a superb sounding album overall.

Closest to a one star so far. Salvaged from the categorisation of unlistenable by a few cool tracks at the end.

Loved a lot of this. Wish Prince would lean into his strengths more (guitar work and epic vocals). But I like the variation.

Some good moments but I feel like I will need to revisit it.

A very easy listen with some lovely guitar work, lead vocals and harmonies. Definitely worth 29 minutes of your time.

Surprisingly varied, always upbeat and pleasant to listen to.

Definitely is skewed positively by nostalgia but I think the singles are genuinely great and the rest of the album is relatively interesting.

Not unlistenable but pretty dull throughout, I'm afraid.

The album tracks aren't superb but there are amazing moments on this album that I found very sonically interesting.

Struggled with the first 5 or 6 songs. Really redeemed itself in the second half. Loved Swimming Pool (Drank)!!!

An excellent listening experience!

The good is great and the bad is pretty dreary.

A pretty good pop album with a different direction to their previous work for sure. Under Attack at the end was great and very catchy.
