Without a doubt, a 5 star album. This is one of his best. I hope more music is released from Prince's vault. I'll buy them all. This set is not just for Prince fans, but for all music fans.

It is really beautiful, poignant, and funky. The content is so true today, he was brilliant. I especially love 1010, but I really like the entire album.

Further proof (as if we needed it) that Prince was not of this earth, we never deserved him, and the future is STILL catching up to him!
