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.
