The five hundred and thirty-eighth album: #538 Prince & The Revolution - Purple Rain
Is it a cop out to say here that this is a Prince album, so you know what to expect? It has the classic tracks Purple Rain and When Doves Cry, all very familiar. The meticulously crafted R&B and pop music is overlaid with vocals that are raw and full of emotion, a contrast that brings out the song so much more than if either side was lacking. It really and directly hits you, which is an accomplishment on its own even without the catchiness of some of the tracks, the set up that's elaborate but never too much, skirting a line that works so well as just a real visionary sound.
