Can't wait. Here are the lyrics for the title track. A bit vapid by Prince standards:

Only came outside to watch the nightfall with the rain
I heard you making patterns rhyme
Like some new romantic looking for the tv sound
Youll see Im right some other time

Look now, look all around, theres no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth youre looking at planet earth
Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

My head is stuck on something precious
Let me know if youre coming down to land
Is there anybody out there trying to get through?
My eyes are so cloudy I cant see you

Look now, look all around, theres no sign of life
Voices, another sound, can you hear me now?
This is planet earth youre looking at planet earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop calling planet earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop looking at planet earth

Bop bop bop bop bop bop bop bop this is planet earth

Ok, sorry that was Duran Duran's Planet Earth. Trying to be funny or confusing, but to prevent myself getting in a legal entanglement with Prince's lawyers, or in poop with the mods here at the prince.org, let me say:

The lyrics above are not Princes, so sorry don't buy the Planet Earth album (whoops, meant the Black Album, even though Le Grind rocks)

Planet Earth will be much like 3121

a bunch of hype when first released

will be number 1 album its first week out

no radio friendly hits so will die a quick death

prince.org patrons will fight for months on what songs are good or suck on the CD(not album neutral )

What do these two things mean tho? :

* The Planet Earth cd will be "enhanced"
* The packaging for Planet Earth will be special in some way - perhaps lenticular (Think Diamonds and Pearls)

Something that is not said at the begining of this thread is that apart from Guitar, Somewhere and the album title "Planet earth", there is a brand new tune called "Shadows and Chains" played at a Vegas show.

I keep playing it. I just LOVE it. It is so infectious ! wink

It is not a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". Prince refers to Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" in the chorus which is quite different.
I bet this tune will be on the Planet earth as will be The best of you.

You really shouldn't do that...you know people get all excited and stuff. Anyway, Here's the Planet Earth cover:

datdude

the album will be spiritual in nature more like TRC (but not as conceptual) than 3121 or Musicology. ppl will remain pissed as they don't like the "spiritual Prince". (remember how PISSED people got when he said he was going to study the bible; gasp! sad state of affairs indeed) i expect a couple songs like SOTT or Chaos & Disorder as it relates to the "world condition" but different. with all the attention he's gotten since the SB, i expect some guitar work, but more so a couple of real gems. ppl will be divided like always.

I agree, it's more like it "samples" the Chain's chorus. That live version is my favorite recent thing by him.
