All of Prince's music has three parts that make it a prince song; A) Passion B) Mystery C) Emotion
This is almost as good as it gets.

Pro Reviews: Sign 'O' the Times
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Fearless, eclectic, and defiantly messy, Prince's Sign 'O' the Times falls into the tradition of tremendous, chaotic double albums like The Beatles, Exile on Main St., and London Calling albums that are fantastic because of their overreach, their great sprawl. Prince shows nearly all of his cards here, from barebones electrofunk and smooth soul to pseudopsychedelic pop and crunching hard rock, touching on gospel, blues, and folk along the way. This was the first album Prince recorded without the Revolution since 1982's 1999 (the band does appear on the inconcert raveup, "It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night"), and he sounds liberated, diving into territory merely suggested on Around the World in a Day and Parade. While the music overflows with generous spirit, these are among the most cryptic, insular songs he's ever written. Many songs are left over from the aborted triple album Crystal Ball and the abandoned Camille project, a Prince alter ego personified by scarily spedup tapes on "If I Was Your Girlfriend," the most disarming and bleak psychosexual song Prince ever wrote, as well as the equally chilling "Strange Relationship." These fraying relationships echo in the social chaos Prince writes about throughout the album. Apocalyptic imagery of drugs, bombs, empty sex, abandoned babies and mothers, and AIDS pop up again and again, yet he balances the despair with hope, whether it's God, love, or just having a good time. In its own roundabout way, Sign 'O' the Times is the sound of the late '80s it's the sound of the good times collapsing and how all that doubt and fear can be ignored if you just dance those problems away. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

For a very long time I had always felt that "Purple Rain" was the artist at his most creative, innovative peak. That was until I heard the album "Sign 'O the Times". This album was made in 1987, and is unbelieveable, and truly ahead of its time. ("If god one day struck me blind, your beauty I'd still see.") There aren't too many albums of today that are good enough to be a "perfect album". There are only a few: This one, Purple Rain, Thriller, and Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life. This album was done at the apex of the artist's brillant and illustrous career that in my opinion, shows no sign(of the times)of slowing down. ...
