Perhaps, Prince used the album for other reasons, for example, as a vehicle to promote his 21 nights in London? | |

Perhaps, Prince used the album for other reasons, for example, as a vehicle to promote his 21 nights in London? not at all, when musicology came out there was a video that was in rotation on video music channels, 3121 had the same premise. If anything PE has relations 2 either musicology or 3121 is that both the london shows and musicology tour, u got his latest album, but he rarely played songs from the albums instead focusing on nostalgic songs. my perception of PE as a album is seperate. i would rather blast chaos and disorder in my ride than PE. In fact PE STILL hasn't reached my car stero man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

So let me get this straight. You are saying that if Planet Earth had an initial video in rotation from the get-go, like Musicology and 3121 did, then it would serve as confirmation that Prince valued this album and wanted to plug it? If that's what you are saying, it seems a very simplistic viewpoint. | |

L4OATheOriginal said: ThataintFunky said: I can’t believe you took your time to explain why those tracks are rubbish ... THE WHOLE ALBUM IS JUST RUBBISH TO ME! ... do you remember the tours that Prince focused on the song of his latest album? Why didn’t he play much of the PE songs during the London gigs? Because they’re rubbish! I know, and Prince knows! prince hasn't fully toured behind a album since TGE..becoming more of a nostaligic act instead of supporting his latest. ... ??? ... so ... Prince didn't release a great album which can bring a great tour since 1988! I'm glad he does know that his albums aren't strong enough to deliver a great a tour. We all know Prince is 90% nostaligic. [Edited 11/5/07 10:35am] | |

PE seems like it's a after thought. man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

Emancipation could have been the same thing, but ever since it's been 95% old material man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81 | |

vinx98 said: Just "trying" to listen to it again today. It is so embarrasing, so pointless. Im not normally a negative person, but this is really is so bad and as a life long Prince fan I cant understand why he would make such slop.
We all know how bad the lyrics to Resolution are, but it doesnt stop there - Mr Goodnight is probably a 3121 reject, and it is STUUUUPID! Somewhere here on earth is dumb fluff with an embarrasing sound clip of an old record being played at the start. The 1 you wanna C gets lots of love round here, but its a throw away, bad produced half assed and really badly sung song. planet earth has the cheesy could it be magic ruining it, Guitar is booooring. chelsea rodgers isnt prince singing and is really repetitive song which goes no where. All the midnights sounds like a drunk retard - I could go on... After the progress of musicology and 3121, this is a real let down. Some of the other records which people usually consider "crap", like NPS, Emancipation, Rave, Chaos, News, etc I always found some songs which were worth listening to on these, but PE has NOTHING worth listening to. Thats why I think it will go down as his worst.. Thanks for your input, but personally I enjoy it. Planet Earth and Future Baby Mama are my personal favorites. Next would come Somewhere Here On Earth (very well done, The One U Wanna See (fun song), Resolution (great message), and Mr. Goodnight (loved it the first time I heard it). Guitar is a fun song, and I like the guitar riff. Chelsea Rodgers has a nice beat, but not a personal favorite. Lion of Judah is all right, but it seems like it's missing something. All the Midnights In the World...I don't like the shifting of his voice in the song. 
But other than that, I could listen to it all the way through and be satisfied.  "For those who know the number and don't call...Fuck all y'all" | |

RumAndRaisin said: whats wrong with liking those albums, thats the type of prince music i prefere. funky dance music. not some overated 80's pop rubbish like purple rain  And your opinion is that Emancipation is funky dance music? It's just that it is a generally held opinion that the 5 albums you have at your top 5 are not Prince's greatest albums, and I don't think they would be categorized as "funky dance music". (For the record, Purple Rain probably doesn't even crack my top 10 P. albums.)
L4OATheOriginal said: does that include SOTT?  and even chaos and disorder has more "gems" than PEYes, even SOTT (for those who don't know--I don't really like SOTT). In fact one of my favorite songs is on SOTT: Forever in My Life. I've never said SOTT is a bad album, I just happen to think it's terribly overrated and do not happen to think it was Prince's greatest moment/album as many do. Planet Earth is a bad album. | |

[I've never heard a Prince fan call Purple Rain rubbish...It's so bold (yet inaccurate ) but I admire that]
You're all right w/ me kid. I definitely agree. I came into this at the latest phase possible and I wanted to gather perspective from all over. Musicology & 3121 were among the first 3 albums I bought because I wanted to get the perspective of what he's like now compared to what he used 2b like. Very bold to say such-and-such about Purple Rain. That's a first. I'm so blown away that I'm not even gonna retilate. People have told me which albums I should get because they believe they're the best/must-haves. Sure, they've been right every time. But I still find something to appreciate in everything he does because of where I came into the game. I don't let others tell me how I feel about which albums or which ones I call my favorites. I commend you for daring 2b different, RumAndRaisin had 2 run away... pride was 2 strong. It started raining, baby, the birds were gone | |

L4OATheOriginal said: PurpleKnight said: It's nowhere near his worst. Rave, NPS, Kamasutra, NEWS; these are all much more offensive.
[Edited 11/5/07 7:38am] why is news offensive? cause he doesn't sing on it? Please. Because it is BORING. It's full of meandering jam sessions that don't turn into anything memorable. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

It can be taken offensively and it really shouldn't be said. OK, I take that back. I should use those words, but I couldnt think of another way to describe it at the time.. for all of you who have commented - thanks. you (and I) all have rights to opinions on music. I have the right to say it is his worst ever. Other albums, like Rave, Chaos, TRC, NPS keep appearing, and someone dissed Purple Rain (wtf??), but Im OK with that as its your opinion. I still love Prince, and I regularly listen to records like 1999, ATWIAD, Parade, Lovesexy, Controvery, etc with amazement and happiness. I am still a Prince fan, one bad album wont change that. | |

Musicology and 3121 were a step-up? Half assed JB-pastiche funk and R&B drivel like Incense & Candles and Beautiful Loved & Blessed?
Planet Earth is much better than this tosh. |

mmm... PE is right in line with his recent actions, doesn't anyone see this?
the simpler, acoustic, "village" approach to life... he's becoming more european by the minute. more organic. this internet-based virtual culture has to stop! it can be good for a few things... getting some info, buying music or other products, but it's taken on a life of its own that's a scary reflection of people's delusional mind-sets - a lack of wanting to deal with reality! it's not all about the $$, folks... prince could stop working today and be set up for life. we all know that. | |
