also agreed about "Partyman". take it (okay, and maybe "Vikki Waiting" too) out and this album is nigh on perfect.

Anyway, classic, if only for "Lemon Crush" -- a sublime example of the tossed-off insta-funk that your boy could seemingly do in his sleep back then. Lotsa other good ones, too.

The amount of self-steals on Batman are large (the ending of 'Forever In My Life'='Vicki Waiting', the best song, mind), but that's almost an advantage. Recently, I could finally listen to the entire thing and I still believe it's classic. Awesomely, ridiculously classic.

The one on Like a Prayer? That's easy. The gratuitous French from Maddy (and esp. Prince's "What?" in reply towards the end). The fact that the chorus line is in fact "This is not a love song" (if only PiL had thought of that), etc.

It bears repeating: save for "Partyman", this album is great.
"Arms of Orion" is beautiful.

I simply like more songs on Batman: "The Future," "Electric Chair," "Scandalous," for starters. And "Batdance" remains a glorius wtf moment, at once part of and adjacent to his catalog.

supposedly a remix with big daddy kane was comissioned too, but never released
Alfred - fair enough. I just think his songwriting and arranging struck some sort of weird, baroque vein on Lovesexy and it was dullsville, for the most part, from there.

All his albums after SOTT until D&P were tossed off quickies. I'll take alphabet st, glam slam, Anna stesia and I wish u heaven over the best of batman though.
