Warthur
Around the World In a Day is one of Prince's more experimental albums, focused as it is on embracing the rock side of the Revolution's sound and directing it to pay tribute to the psychedelic sounds of past decades. Whilst the idea of a psych-funk-soul mashup is very much valid - after all, that's precisely what Sly and the Family Stone and Funkadelic did - the end results here are rather muddled, failing to stand up either to the psychedelic influences the album was trying to pay tribute to or Prince's immediately preceding work with the Revolution on 1999 and Purple Rain. Raspberry Beret is alright but otherwise the album's best seen as an ambitious mistake - a mistake worth attempting, but a mistake nonetheless.
