Rolling Stone Review - 3 1/2 stars! http://www.rollingstone.c...?rating=11
I love you, baby, but not like I love my guitar," Prince leers in "Guitar," between blasts of heroically pointless Edge-style soloing. It's his most slamming summer jam since "P Control" in the summer of '94, or "Alphabet St." in the summer of '88, or maybe "Delirious" in the summer of '83. What did people do for fun in the summer before Prince? Planet Earth is one of those albums he makes when he's trying a little harder than usual, if not hard enough to alienate his core audience, which loves him for indulging himself. "Planet Earth" and "Lion of Judah" continue the hard-rock groove, while "Future Baby Mama" and "Somewhere Here on Earth" revisit his smooth R&B side. As for "Guitar," he's decided to jack the post-punk revival, so he swipes a guitar riff from U2 ("I Will Follow") and a bass line from Duran Duran (the same song that provides his album title). Wily bastard. The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

Their song was also called 'Planet Earth' and it sounds nought like the man's. |

I know the Duran Duran song from the '80s; one of their biggest hits!! I love the song, too!! I have it on my iTunes; I have 2 listen 2 it again and compare it with Prince's Planet Earth. "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

i thought they were quite generous giving the album 3.5 stars, i would of gave it 2.5 at a push "Sometimes being a cold hard bitch is all a woman has left." | |

 I am surprised he gave it 3 1/2 stars from his review. The way he points out most of the songs makes you think he does not like the music. | |
