Murph's Planet Earth review
Okay folks...I've heard the album...And let me just go straight into it...I likes...An intersting album from the standpoint that it sounds like it was recorded in one week...Very focused...All in all this is a a rock album...The guitars and vocals are very striking...And no, it aint even on a religious kick...Well, here are the particulars: "Planet Earth" Okay, I'm not even going to lie...I read the title to this track a week ago and nearly did a spit-take...I just knew this was going to be some corny ass, preachy bullshit...Well, here's the deal...It is preachy, but more in line with his socially conscious stuff he did in the '80s and early '90s...The track starts off in the mode of "Empty Room"...very dark; very creepy...The vocals are not even on some sweet, melodic shit for the most part...And it aint a ballad as first reported...It's very dramatic...The guitars scream...And then there is a a melodic breakdown in the song that is a fresh and hopeful curve pitch... This is some good old fashioned werid, rock, moody Prince shit and I dont mean the out-to-lunch, get-me-out-of-this-record-deal-aspects of Chaos & Disorder ...I likes... "Guitar" In a perfect world the previous programmed drums on the old "Guitar" mixed with the instrumentation and heavy guitars from the new "Guitar" would have been a more potent track on the real...But as is, "Guitar" works because it evokes the guitar driven feel of Planet Earth...It's a fun song that does what its supposed to do...Make the listener sing the chorus, bob their heads, and do a little air guitar...It aint rocket science ya'll...But on the real, Prince should have made the guitar solo longer... "The One U Wanna See" This is quite simply one of Prince's best ballads in memory...imagine some of the Parade sound of jazzy acoustic pianos, string orchestration and muted horns set in a torch song, small club feel...Folks that dig Prince's slow cuts will dig this one...On the real...dope "Future Baby Mama" One of two ballads on here...This one aims straight to R&B radio...But thank God it doesn't panders...Basically, dude is saying he wants a chick without all the drama of a future baby mama...Thye track itself uses a little of the Linn drums underneath..Reminds me of his early '90s slow cuts...Prince's falsetto is killing it on this one...That's what really jumps out at you... "All The Midnights In The World" First off this is not a ballad...It's a very short cut clocking in a 2 minutes and 22 seconds..But it is hella poppy, very sugary, still-rock feel mid-tempo joint much in the way his late '80s material is...Much in the way of a "teacher Teacher" or a "Starfish & Coffee," with even more sweets...lol...It's like listening to a love-infused children's lullaby...Still I can see how some folks would find it too sweet...But its definitely not the worst thing the man has ever done...It's not even in the conversation...Shit it aint "Arms Of Orion," that's for sure...lol... "Mr. Good Night" The worst track on the album...Easily...As everyone knows, I'm a hip hop dude that knows his shit...And on the real, the groove underneath this track sounds like Biggie's "One More Chance"...Prince is rapping in a very cool manner; but dude should have really left this one off the album...Not a good look... "Chelsea Rogers" Very funky indeed...But the funk is more late '70s funk than the '80s Prince-funk some of yall are clamoring for...It's like Prince was listening to "Just As Long As were Together" and "Sexy Dancer" and decided to take that classic funk disco feel and make it even more funky...The horns are killer...And that Shelby chick is doing some Mavis staples howling...Very strong track... "Lion Of Judah" "Sitting on the floor of an all white room, feeling like the color blue..."--Prince The title is a definite fake out...he's not trying to convert anyone..lol...It's basically a rock song in which Prince makes it clear that he needs someone to ride with him...He's not sure if the person he's with loves him...But he knows that that to protect his loved ones he would strike his enemies like a "lion of judah...' Now to the music...I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite tracks on the album...It has the classic Prince rock sound...It's like a more aggressive Money Dont Matter with guitars and great, great harmonies! It's also indicitive of the sound of Planet Earth"...The rock songs flow effortlessly...It was like he got a few musicians together in a bar and decided to cut an album...And Prince sings the song like he's truly in pain...Again, weird vocal phrasing, memorable chorus, guitars attack you at the end of the track...This is classic Prince! And it sounds like Wendy is on this joint... "Resolution" Prince wants everyone to just love each other...That's the seemingly corny message...But it works because he does it in a early '70s rock, Steely Dan-ish meets Crosby Stills & Nash way...Again, the harmonies are lush...and the break down is classic Prince...It's funny, this song could have been a disaster...But Prince steers it cleer of sappyness just when the chorus seems to be pointing in that direction...And thank God... Overview... This is a suprisingly strange but focused album...It seems as the old man came into the studio with a visionYeah, I would have liked more tracks on the album, but as is I liked the fact that Prince wasn't afraid to get his rock on...I've always been a fan of both his funk and rock roots...But lately, with the exception of the track "3121" and "Black Sweat" his funk has been a little dry (However when he funks it up onstage, Prince delivers for some reason...Maybe its the spontanaity)...Which is why the rock works well, because it seems like Prince is rediscovering his guitar hero mojo...Folks praying that the man live up to his prime '80s years just need to forget about that shit...lol...Planet Earth shows a man who is comfortable in his own skin and with his legacy...It's a short, straight ahead album...It more than works...

[Edited 6/25/07 20:35pm] Thanks...yeah...just a mistake...here are the corrections in bold... Murph's Planet Earth review Okay folks...I've heard the album...And let me just go straight into it...I likes...An intersting album from the standpoint that it sounds like it was recorded in one week...Very focused...All in all this is a a rock album...The guitars and vocals are very striking...And no, it aint even on a religious kick...Its a very loose sounding album for the most part...And guys, the copy of Planet Earth that I have is watermarked...The label can definitely track it back to the kid, so that's a no no since I'm in the business... Well, here are the particulars: "Planet Earth" Okay, I'm not even going to lie...I read the title to this track a week ago and nearly did a spit-take...I just knew this was going to be some corny ass, preachy bullshit...Well, here's the deal...It is preachy, but more in line with his socially conscious stuff he did in the '80s and early '90s...The track starts off in the mode of "Empty Room"...very dark; very creepy...The vocals are not even on some sweet, melodic shit for the most part...And it aint a ballad as first reported...It's very dramatic...The guitars scream...And then there is a a melodic breakdown in the song that is a fresh and hopeful curve pitch...

"Guitar" In a perfect world the previous programmed drums on the old "Guitar" mixed with the instrumentation and heavy guitars from the new "Guitar" would have been a more potent track on the real...But as is, "Guitar" works because it evokes the guitar driven feel of Planet Earth...It's a fun song that does what its supposed to do...Make the listener sing the chorus, bob their heads, and do a little air guitar...It aint rocket science ya'll...But on the real, Prince should have made the guitar solo longer... "Somewhere Here On Earth" This is quite simply one of Prince's best ballads in memory...imagine some of the Parade sound of jazzy acoustic pianos, string orchestration and muted horns set in a torch song, small club feel...Folks that dig Prince's slow cuts will dig this one...On the real...dope "The One U Wanna See" A fun poprock anthem...very dope..has a country little twang...The chorus will be in your head for months...Dope track.....This is a sing along joint... "Future Baby Mama" One of two ballads on here...This one aims straight to R&B radio...But thank God it doesn't panders...Basically, dude is saying he wants a chick without all the drama of a future baby mama...Thye track itself uses a little of the Linn drums underneath..Reminds me of his early '90s slow cuts...Prince's falsetto is killing it on this one...That's what really jumps out at you...

"Lion Of Judah" "Sitting on the floor of an all white room, feeling like the color blue..."--Prince The title is a definite fake out...he's not trying to convert anyone..lol...It's basically a rock song in which Prince makes it clear that he needs someone to ride with him...He's not sure if the person he's with loves him...But he knows that that to protect his loved ones he would strike his enemies like a "lion of judah...' Now to the music...I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite tracks on the album...It has the classic Prince rock sound...It's like a more aggressive Money Dont Matter with guitars and great, great harmonies!

This is a suprisingly strange but focused album...It seems as the old man came into the studio with a visionYeah, I would have liked more tracks on the album, but as is I liked the fact that Prince wasn't afraid to get his rock on...I've always been a fan of both his funk and rock roots...But lately, with the exception of the track "3121" and "Black Sweat" his funk has been a little dry (However when he funks it up onstage, Prince delivers for some reason...Maybe its the spontanaity)...Which is why the rock works well, because it seems like Prince is rediscovering his guitar hero mojo...Folks praying that the man live up to his prime '80s years just need to forget about that shit...lol...Planet Earth shows a man who is comfortable in his own skin and with his legacy...It's a short, straight ahead album...Again, this is not a groundbreaking album...It just works...

Well like i have been saying he needed to put the "funk" or at least that New power soul funk aside for a bit, save it for the stage. Look after awhile it just gets tired, sorry, but ive seen Prince 73 times in concert and just like Prince put away the dancing and the splits and all that, he may be putting aside the Funk for a bit, making a more focused record. Im not against his funk and party shit, but since Emancipation it just has been overdone over and over again. And its not really even FUNK its more of this mainstream RB type sound that Prince has been trying to tap into but in his own way, it almost makes him look like a follower and not a leader. And that is not the Prince way, he doesnt need to follow trends or sounds. So lets lose the "I rock therefore I am" or "Mr Happy" or "Da Da Da" or "Illusion" etc....

lastdecember said: Heres what i want from this CD, no leak at all, I dont wanna know shit till i get it. I dont want samples or full tracks or anything like that. My plan is to get the CD July 20th, that Friday before at NORMS here in NYC, and just take the whole weekend and listen to the damn thing. Its been ages since i have bought a Prince cd on street date, i usually always get them that Friday before to just get in some listens straight through and then look at what everyone else says when the album hits the streeets and then not pay attention to what anyone says because if i like it cool and if i dont cool, thats life.
I did this with 3121. No spoiler, just bought the cd in the store. Way better than .mp3 listening. You hear the music, read the booklet...it's kind of an event. | |

Alright, back on topic:
I'm really curious about this now. I hope I can wait until the 13th because I'd really like to just go and get the damn CD without knowing the music. But...  | |

Only one funky track? Hmmm, have to say I'm a bit disappointed.
I thought 3121 was one big un-inspired yawn. Musicology was okay but a bit safe for my liking... so I'm approaching Planet Earth with trepidation to say the least! | |

Murph...thanks for the detailed review!
More pop/rock?! Sounds interesting, bring on the leak!
So I guess we can all now agree that the last track is "Resolution" and not "Revelation"?! "I would say that Prince's top thirty percent is great. Of that thirty percent, I'll bet the public has heard twenty percent of it." - Susan Rogers, "Hunting for Prince's Vault", BBC, 2015 |
