- But it´s funny. I think PE should be real good for the non-fans. It´s very accessible, melodic. Most people hate his ´weird´ side and PE should be perfect for them. I don´t call it ´horrendous´ but a ´basic´ album.

's on this org today !!!!!

That track is just awsome

Could be payola. Sony has cash to advance.

have yo thought that maybe they just really like the album so they want to give it a good review?



am I being naive?

they gave it a one star 2 many

its getting good reviews because its a damn good album. nothing on the market can touch it.

If you find these tunes constantly stuck in your head - humming them while you are at work, helping you feel better and getting you through the day, then I say it's worth something, wouldn't you? I understand this album doesn't have the same effect on all people, but for some (like myself and a handful of critics) we get the purpose of PE. How it makes you feel is what it's all about.

I simply think its a pretty good album.. not great.. but pretty good. Critics are as critics do. Some will like it.. others will hate it. Isn't that generally how it goes any way..? so why would a Prince album be any different from the rest.

And just because someone doesn't like the album.. does not mean that its a bad album or that those who do like it are deranged or something. Just different strokes for different folks.

reviews are pointless. discussions about albums are pointless. yet they will always happen... the internet has destroyed musical appreciation.. people come on here and bitch the hell out of everything prince does... what the fuck are you on here for?

and i know exactly the response im gonna get from the above... but fact is.. prince is a better musician than any of u, and he knows what he wants and what he wants to release.. if u dont like it fuck off!

"Quit twigglin' his balls!", as my grandfather liked to say. I'm sorry. You asked for that response. And, I'm pretty sure that there are some "TRUE" musicians on this website that wouldn't take too kind to those words. I'm not saying that "Prince" isn't. Hell, he is a master at what he does. Any "good" album he does these days will surely get some praise from me. But, it "REALLY" isn't mandatory, anymore. He's had his fair share of masterpieces. I say, if he does well, copasetic. If not, his career still lives. So, what's wroing with general consensus, huh?

My "Planet Earth" review theory

When compared only with his previous work: Good, but not brilliant

When compared 2 contemporary popular music: Genius

ppl can't ever be satisfied- u argue when there are bad reviews and when there are good ones. i don't really read magazine reviews, but from what i've seen, alot of people like the album.

That's what I find about this album. It's genuinely catchy. Even if I didn't want to like The 1 U Wanna C because it's pure sugar, it's the best pop song he's done since Cream.

Resolution was described by Anx as something Cartman would sing on South Park, and even though he's right, that song is stuck in my head too.

3121 flowed easier & more naturally than Musicology, and this album flows even easier. And most importantly, the production feels more organic, no synth or guitar lines hurt my ears.

I don't think it's groundbreaking in any way, it's just Prince making good music and seeming to let it happen naturally.

Well damn . . . FunkyB!

I actually agree to a large degree.

Planet Earth is a really good album. I give it a B+. Much better than "3121" The only two tunes on Rave that I thought were cool were "Undisputed" and "I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore." The rest were just Ok. From title track to last note played - Planet Earth is a good CD from mainstream listeners to avid Prince fans. So, why not receive good reviews!

N2Spontaneity said:

and every prince cd receives both good & bad reviews, even among his die hard fans.

Everyone that wants to see "Prince" as perfect is....well, blinded, but I don't. Simple as that.

All they need right now is Chris Jericho...although he'll have to do the two hours of RAW by himself because half of the roster is suspended b/c of the juice right now...

I wonder what "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince Iukea" is doing these days
With Booker likely suspended Sharmelle has some time on her hands.
Best Gimmick ever by the way! I remember watching and hoping the real Prince would show up.

fantasticjoy said:

Awsomely BAD - have never been able to get into that song - hokey & amateurish lyrics.

It is because they are all left wing liberals who are "going green"
and are excited that P is singing about saving the earth!
It has nothing to do w/the music or P himself..it is all political nonsense

i like mr kennedy and the boogeyman needs 2 b on RAW

I just read the review. I don't place that much stock in those things (I remember a big review in the LA Times declaring John Wesley Harding the first great artist of the 90's) but it's nice to see anyway. He gets plenty of good reviews, but rarely does such a big magazine say he's done "the best pop album of the year."

More amazing was that they didn't call Planet Earth a "return to form after last year's disappointing 3121."
