Planet Earth...wait for it...

...blows worse than a $5 hooker with whooping cough...

I'm done with him.

See y'all in chat

see ya next album

I don't quite understand you so called Prince Fans. This is not Sign o the times, that I realise, but I am listening to it for the first time in it's totality and apart from all the midnight... which admitedly is total shite, the album is upbeat, funky, rocky, funky..... it's good. You's not a real fan my friend. We all know that he is better live so do not give up on the man. Listening to Chelsea Rodgers and it really is one of the best tracks I've heard in a while. be it from Prince or not. Listening to you who say that Sleby's too present is total crap. People wake up. This stuff makes me wanna dance. Is that not what it's all about? Please all u negative fans please f off.

Alright! another overly nostalgic '80-'88 Prince lover, who refuses to admit that Prince has done anything creative in twenty years, 'cause they just too cool for that.

Well, of course it's not to going to rival his classic work like Purple Rain, Sign O The Times, Parade, Dirty Mind, or 1999, but that doesn't mean it's going to be crap. I heard this album last week om MSN and I must say that it's truly a grower on the ears. There's nothing on here that is up to classic status or memorable, but it's impressive material. Lyrically, much of the material is weak and I was definitely disappointed by the craft and the stylistic innovation he put in some of the songs. But I believe he has made an "alright" effort with Planet Earth, he just needed a little more push and ambition. Last year's 3121 is still my contender for the best album he's made this decade.

It isn't a matter of living in the past. This isn't the 80's or 90's anymore. We all are aware of that. So, for those of you who seem to enjoy riding that train...get off at the next stop. That horse is dead...stop beating it.
What it is about is a man who was once a creative genius who has appeared to just give up and make his last 3 albums sound so much alike that you could play them one after the other and not tell the difference between them. Yet, he has proven that he can still rock and funk live performances like nobody's business. So, why is it that he can't put the same vigor into making a decent album?
For those of you who don't know...
I was once the biggest fan of him in my part of the world. I bought everything I could...even issues of Rolling Stone that mentioned his name in passing. That's something that has long since past because I've watched this man de-evolve creatively. I can't, in all sincerity, continue to support him after what I've been witness to these last couple of decades. He was, at one time, the biggest icon in my world...and now, he's barely anything to me at all.
I have, for better or worse, always given him credit when he's experimented. More often than not, it hasn't worked...but, at least he tried. Now, it just seems that he's settled into this rut that has stifled him in the recording booth. I don't know what it is and I don't know why it's happened. All I know is that something's not there anymore and I'm tired of waiting for it to reappear.
So, again, the past is the past...but, that's no reason to stop trying.

I seriously wanna know why people have the need to after almost every new album make a thread saying they hate the new album and that Prince is history. I wouldn't wanna be in a relationship with you. If I did silly little things you don't approve of you'd dump me or what? It's music guys, music. It's very important, but some of you take it way too seriously if you dump an artist just because you don't like his new stuff.
MJ gets accused for being a pedophile and his fans are still by his side, Prince releases new albums that aren't masterpieces that will go to history and people here get mad and drop him like a hot potatoe.

I have 2 admit I was a bit shock on the first listen of Planet Earth. But then it was a horrible version of the album. Chelsea Rodgers was of course an instant classic for me; I loved Somewhere Here On Earth and Future Baby Mama on first listen as well.All great songs! But check this out...I hated 'All The Midnights' and I thought about it...is thisa song so unlike any Prince song I had ever heard? No. Then 'Starfish And Coffee' came to mind. Now I can't stop putting 'Midnights' on repeat, great harmonies. I'm an old school hardcore fan of Prince...I've been through the ups and downs. It took me a while to absorb some of Prince greatest albums..Purple Rain for example. But after a few listens I have found the gems in all of Princes releases, Planet Earth is no exception. And though I have a excellent version of the album right now....I be in the store getting my real release of Planet Earth.

I'm actually done with people like you, buddy. I happen to love the new disc,

but even if I didn't, the guy has nothing left to proove. This is his 24th

studio album. He has done more creatively and artistically then most artists

could only dream of doing in ten lifetimes. He's in the freakin' Hall of Fame.

And I'm just talking studio. Live is a whole other story.

So if you're done with him, why don't you jump on the JT bandwagon or

something. I'm sure he has some Rolling Stones covers you can start

collecting.

I can't wait 2 buy the album! Think it's great.
