    It's not a terrible album or anything. It's just that it covers a lot of ground that he's already traveled before, so why listen to these inferior tracks?

  1. A testament to the singer's versatility and musicianship.
  2. Uneven? No question. Entertaining? Is the rain purple?
  3. Prince is at his best when his music is unmistakably his. Half of the tracks on 3121 could not have been made by anyone else, but the slushy R&B ballads are not amongst them.
