Title: Hearing himself
Review: 2 1/2It's always sad to see once vital artists trail off into irrelevance, and although Prince has aged more gracefully than many of his long standing peers, it is impossible to ignore the creeping vanity driving more vacant compositions over the years, masking perhaps as diversity or even self-myth. There are fleeting moments of greatness if you seek it, but it sounds stuck between a whole lot of pseudo-get-down, and some clunky genre experiments, both which of course produce at least one impressive exception to avoid complete erosion.
