It's ok.
Not as bad as everyone says it is.

the songs are a bit lazy and not very inspired. It was the wrong kind of album to release immediately after his stellar Superbowl performance.

The only weak spots on here are Mr. Goodnight and Resolution. Otherwise, it is (along with 3121) my favorite of the last 5 years

Hurrah i awake from yesterday
alive but the war is here to stay
so my love catherina and me
decide to take our last walk
through the noise to the sea
not to die but to be re-born
away from a life so battered and torn....
forever...

Bingo g money. LF should have been the one released right after that imo. It also has a rock cover mashup that he did at the Superbowl.

good thing I cook or else we'd starve to death...aint that a shame?

let's disagree about the PE album biggrin

Those 2 songs.. do you really like those better than what's on MPLSound ?

Chelsea Rodgers isn't funky imo.. boring.

and Guitar is a weak song too, sounds a bit like U2's I Will Follow, which is a far better song.

To me the PE album is very bad produced and it lacks good songs: Title track and Future Baby Mama are great, SHOE and The 1 U Wanna C are good, I can live with Guitar.. the rest of the songs are below Prince standards.

I rate MPLSound a lot better than PE:

Here's my top 37 Prince albums,

from best album to worst:

01. Purple Rain (10)
02. Sign "O" The Times (10)
03. 1999 (10)
04. Lovesexy (10)
05. Parade (10)
06. Around The World In A Day (10)
07. The Gold Experience (10)
08. Dirty Mind (10)
09. Controversy (9)
10. Diamonds & Pearls (9)
11. Love Symbol Album (9)
12. Come (9)
13. Black Album (9)
14. The Rainbow Children (9)
15. Graffiti Bridge (8)
16. Prince (8)
17. Crystal Ball (8)
18. Emancipation (8)
19. For You (8)
20. Batman (8)
21. LotusFlower / MPLSound (8)
22. Musicology (7)
23. Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic (7)
24. 3121 (6)
25. The Truth (6)
26. Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic (6)
27. The Vault... Old Friends 4 Sale (6)
28. Chaos & Disorder (6)
29. The Chocolate Invasion (6)
30. Slaughterhouse (6)
31. Planet Earth (5)
32. Newpower Soul (4)
33. ONA Piano (3)
34. N.E.W.S. (2)
35. ONA... Live (2)
36. Indigo Nights (2)
37. Kamasutra (0)

Sorry but I couldn't help posting this, just to show how low I rate Planet Earth => 1 of his worst albums wink

Agreed.

....Aside from 'The One U Wanna C', which is possibly the most nauseating song he has EVER recorded. It makes me feel ill just thinking about it. ill

It is an extremely frustrated listen. I really enjoy Guitar, Future Baby Mama, and The One U Wanna C. The title had the potential to be a great song but got over produced and ends up losing it's steam. Everything is bland or really uninspiring.All The Midnights In The World and Lion of Judah I just cannot get into. Just my opinion

Yes, I think it's a good album, I heard a lot of the songs live at the O2 and Indigo2 and everyone was going crazy for them, including 'The One U Wanna C' ... hardcore fans too.... wink nod

Planet Earth could have been rather good if:

- He had filtered out that generic R&B shit in the middle (Future Baby Mama, Mr. Goodnight).

- He did put two great songs right after Resolution.

I've loved The One U Wanna C since the first listen. And yep, I did freak a little bit when he played it at the 6th September aftershow.

As for the album, I like most of it except for Chelsea Rodgers. Somewhere Here On Earth and Future Baby Mama need to find me in the right mood but the rest I love.

And now for a cup of tea.

Sure do nod. I spent the whole song thinking, 'ok, so he's played the first three tracks from Planet Earth, I really hope he plays The One U Wanna C too'. Then he did! I was very happy and kinda hoped he'd played through the whole album, which would have been very cool. But having said that, I wasn't too upset when he went into When You Were Mine after The One U Wanna C cool.

I didn't freak too much fro CR though, not a favourite of mine. lol

Better than 3121, not NEARLY as good as Musicology, which is GROSSLY undervalued by all u haters smile

Future Baby Mama is one HELL of a pop single...the harmonies are sublime, and the lead vocal is SICK.
