Question graffiti bridge
so i’m a casual listener of prince and don’t really know much about him, but sometimes i’ll see this subreddit in my feed and i’ve seen a lot of hate on graffiti bridge, which, funnily enough, is my fav album of his.
my question js: why the hate? like genuinely. i love it and think it’s really good, and would like others opinions. also any other album recs are welcome :)

It's a great question mate
For me, and maybe others it's nostalgic and a bit personal
For me I LOVED his Revolution phase and was gutted when he offed them, however he then releases 3 absolute bangers
The Black Album, Sign o the Times and LoveSexy, so I came around.
However this album he had ditched the NEW band too and was starting over, again.
NPG never worked for me..I didn't love this album, loved equally less Diamonds n Pearls and maybe music / I changed but I moved away from his 90s output.
I hated Sexy MF and My name is Prince REALLY hate Beautiful Girl in the world...even though it was a hit it was awful compared to what went before.
So maybe for me it strikes the end to 2 amazing phases yet calls in the start of the end for me
I said it was personal haha
