I give it four stars. I like PE a lot, but I just feel like something is missing for some reason.

Tony M.!

2 stars.

2 Stars for me

I agree with Rolling Stone; 3 and one half stars. His comeback to former days album. Too bad All The Shitnights In The World wrecks it for me. As for Guitar.

All U sane people agree with me that Somewhere here On Earth is the best song on the album? Future Booty Mama the second best, even though it has a vibe like Pink Cashmere.

I've been listening to Prince since 1981. I feel that in my opinion this album is just a quick output without much thought in to it. Most songs sound like left overs from his past 3 albums. Or some demos he's had hanging around for a while. Like you and everyone that's follows the little guy...I'm still waiting for something to REALLY move me.

It's been too long.....sad to say!

4 3/4 stars...!

Songwriting.

TWO STARS

3 stars

Maybe would have given it 3 1/2 but "Somewhere here on earth" and "the 1 u wanna c" suck major ass. Cornball lyrics and tired ballads bore me...

4.So far it's the only cd that came out this year that I like.

4 starz and a point.

"Icky Thump" - The White Stripes

There are a number of albums I like better this year, but I dig Planet Earth for the most part. What drags it down is "Future Baby Mama" and "Guitar".

5. theres some great choices on this album.

I can't believe that many of you gave this album such low ratings. Wow.

I mean, Chaos and Disorder was his least funkiest album ever. It was good, but not soulful. I give all of Prince's compositions 5 stars, but if you are asking me from a critic's point of view,

I give "Planet Earth" a SOLID 4 stars. "Chelsea Rodgers" is a funk masterpiece. The rest of the album could be Prince rattling change around in his pocket, and if Chelsea was the only actual song on the album, it would still get 3.5 stars.

Chaos wasnt too funky, but it was excellent..

Oh I agree, all of P's albums were tight- very well composed albums- as I said, they all get 5 stars to me. But I am a funk junkie, so albums with really nice funk on them get higher priority....

from me cuz this is a great album

chaos and disorder is a way better album than planet earth

i like it there kicks the shit out of the one u wanna puke

i rock therefore i am is real funk as where chelsea wanna be le freak from nile rodgers and chic is a cheap imitation of 70's disco

zannalee is a sweet bluesy rock number where as lion of shuddup cant hold a candle 2

dig u better is more funkier than mr goodnight come back again when i got better beats and ryhmes

chaos and disorder rocks out more than the nursery ryhme of planet earth

the suite of i will and in2 the light is more touching than all the crapiness in the world

planet earth should b buried underground the earth and kept there

4 STARS...

"I Rock, Therefore I Am" is more like some hard "new jack swing" stuff. It's nice, for its era. And if you like it, that's great! Personally, I prefer the discofunk, disco, and electrofunk sounds from 1973-1988. Strangely, I grew up on that new jack stuff, and the 73-88 period was before my time in many ways, but I prefer it. That new jack era between 1989-1995 doesn't appeal to me. People talking about "bussin caps, partying, and grindin" in a lot of those songs, and 4/4 swing times on many songs, in retrospect, it just doesn't appeal to me as much as the straight 4/4 uptempo stompers of the discofunk era. But if it's your thing, and you prefer it to a song like "Chelsea", then it's all good as well, because music is what you want it to be.
