Sign O the Times
Released March 30th, 1987
High Level Review
In what many describe as his best work, this double album is a "patchwork quilt" of every musical style.
There is incredible diversity here without being hampered by a theme.
Lyrics
Like the music, the lyrics cover too many different topics to list separately, but in general, they mark
his maturing growth as a poet.
