It's definitely grown on me - I play it way more often than 3121 and Musicology, both of which i adored when they came out.

I now find myself listening to Planet Earth and 20Ten the most. Chelsea Rodgers is such a great tune til he gets all biblical - dammit Prince, just let a dance song be a dance song! Wish it went on for 4 more minutes though.

The lyrics to Resolution are trite (not as bad as Act of God - "freedom isn't free"? Really? Did it take you all day to think of that, Prince?), but still a good little ditty.

Lion of Judah is great, except for that chorus.

Somewhere Here on Earth gets skipped every time - it kills the flow of the album for me, plus the fake "vinyl" noise is annoying. It must sound extra stupid on the vinyl version (or does he use a CD sound effect on vinyl?)

TheVoid is right that it DOES share a lot in common with 20Ten! Maybe that's why I'm hooked on both right now!

...from Best Buy. Can any orgers tell me if it was a waste of $21? Was it good or bad, ok....

you can get it at FYE for less than 7 dollars used and it will be in perfect condition. $21.oo seems steep, like maybe you could have paid half that to have a new one shipped to you from Amazon. $21 or more should ONLY be payed for something that you know is a hard to find rarity.

The problem is not the price (you've been ripped, BTW).

The problem is the album is a turd.

Hey, hey...

You're being a little unfair to turds now.

LOL! You're definitely right!

I just wanted to compare that album to a steaming pile of shit.

It must be the worst album in Prince's discography. Even Kamasutra is better than that!

Thanks for the thread. I have yet to buy the CD myseld and was wondering was it worth it.

I love owning an entire collection of albums.

21 dollars isn't very much for a lifetime of having the option to play it if U want 2.

I love "Planet Earth."

Driving to the next store and picking it up for $9-13 isn't very much effort, either.

Well, so now you... NO
