THE COUNTRY ISSUE IS OUT NOW!

RECORDS

Seven albums and one false retirement into the deal, and we pretty much expect cracked behavior from Prince. True to form, his eighth LP isn’t just a Parade, it’s a freakshow. It’s Prince’s strangest album yet, providing a march through 33-and-a-third genres-per-minute, from the last LP’s psychedel-ick leftovers to Euro-jazz to mariachi to movie muzak, picking up enough sub-genres along the way to cause a world hyphen shortage.
