I'm reading Gael Greene's memoir right now, and she has a quote from a British guy talking about a popular New York restaurant in the 80s. He basically says he thinks Americans reject perfection, and more often gravitate towards things that are evolving works of art rather than finalized, polished visions. That restaurants in London make people feel like "extras" rather than "participants." Could this apply to Planet Earth? I dunno, just floating a theory

cause they r smoking when they r listening 2 it. if they were sober they would hear how crappy this album truly is

I think to people looking at it from a fresh or neutral perspective, Planet Earth sounds like a solid album of NEW Prince. Some of my friends find it a bit too soft, mellow, and harmless.

Well Prince is HOT property right now that's why, everybody loves a winner. Some of those people weren't even born back in the 80's when Prince was much hotter than he is now. but I'm very happy for him, I love to hear good thingS. Thanks

i dont know maybe it's become PC to give him props now, i'm thinking the same album would have been trashed in the mid 90's, the Gold Experience kicks the shit out of this album. Dolphin is better than anything on PE, Shhhhh vs. Future Baby Mama, not even close. Chelsea is a JAM and would fit anywhere during any stage of his career.

"If I came back as a dolphin, would you listen to me then."
I'll never understand what people like about this track.

They all raved about Musicology, too. I think the fact that the music industry -- along with its "product" -- has more or less turned to shit may have something to do with it.

it's lyrics that anyone can relate 2. how many times have u tried 2 talk 2 someone but they didn't hear u but they would listen 2 thier pet than u? so he's saying that if he can back as a dolphin would u listen 2 him then?

the song rocks and dreamshaman is absolutely correct..TGE beats the hell out of PE. hell Rave does that 2!

Ok, now I KNOW we live on different planets
I'm not saying either one's better...just reeeeallly different.
On my planet, Rave is the most uninspired CD he's ever recorded.

L4OATheOriginal said:

Also, on my planet, nobody has pets that talk. So I guess you could say it's kind of a boring place.

the or the

It appears as if Prince has just been acknowleged as a unique musician/
lyricist...that he has been literally set aside at times, by a no-fault
reaction of the writers.
In my opinion, I believe both fear and love in the mind of the writer
contribute to either an accurate attempt at criticism, or a delay, due
to contemplating their own personal qualifications to speak on his level
of artistic development.

- I agree. Like I say: "PE is his best and worst album at the same time". In one hand, it´s very melodic, well produced and accessible. On the other hand, it was the first Prince album that I didnt have any excitement listening to. And has some of the worst lyrics he ever did.

As a former journalist, I can tell you most of 'em ain't that deep. And they almost never think they're beneath rendering an opinion based on their own qualifications.

this is the 1st album that i have walked in2 my local wrecka stow, and the people that work in there now I like prince and jokingly told them 2 take down the display they had. the people that work there were like "yeah this is a horrendous album and it's not flying off the shelves like 3121"
