JamieS.Sep 27, 2007My Lord...This just STINKS!!!!! I have loved Prince through thick and thin...I own all cd's including spinoff work...but come on, this is so bad. There is not one listenable song on this. Most sound like someone in high school who has just written his first song- ala' "Lion of Judah" or "Guitar". What happened to the Purple Genius?? He ran out of ideas I guess.

NiallW.Aug 27, 2007Interesting, eclectic, sometimes hypnotizing, sometimes vacuous.

MarkR.Aug 22, 2007I love Prince, but c'mon! This is not only the worst Prince CD ever, but one of the worst CDs I have ever purchased period. There's not an impact track on here at all. This sounds like a crappy collections of bad b-sides that nobody wants to hear. I actually like a lot of his later stuff, but this is pure trash.

MikeLAug 20, 2007A forgettable album with one good single buried in it. "Chelsea Rodgers"/"Guitar" would've been a great 45 back in the day...the rest is a drag, with some really awful lyrics

elmo.Aug 12, 2007planet earth starts off well with the quite epic song "planet earth" but that aside everything else has a flat production ,little passion and overall comes across a little Cliché.

rayrAug 9, 2007tired and unoriginal, like he is trying to meet a quota again. Individual songs are mediocre and a lack of integration leaves it little more than an album of ho-hum singles, none of them standing out.

101CandlesAug 3, 2007For Prince this is a pretty average output..comparable with 3121 and Musicology..so some good songs few great and some average...any other artist who would have made this album would get raving reviews..but hey..here we are talking bout Prince...and now who is this grazy guy saying Prince live aint great..????

ScottLAug 2, 2007Not his best, for sure, but has the 'vibe' of his 80's stuff. This one grows on you, if you let it--the sign of a GOOD Prince album (for a change). Hate the JW references, but he's always been spiritual and it's kept to a minimum on this one.

ShariG.Jul 27, 2007I long for the Prince of the 80's and early 90's!! I have seen him twice and will continue to see him on tour and buy his albums, although this album is definately not one of my favorites. It is too slow and left me wondering where the dance tracks were!

RobertJJul 25, 2007A wonderfully diverse collection. Prince gives relief to those who are tired of hip-hop divas who sample all of their music. And gives a message unlike all popular music

BrianSJul 25, 2007Very strong record! Prince is in fine form and seems to have found his muse again. Great pop hooks, guitar, and stronger song writing than recent projects.

myreviewjJul 25, 2007Well, sorry but this aint good music. This man had pure talent, pure skills. But dont ask me why he lost it long time ago. There's nothing new in this album, nothing original. Too bad he cant creative anymore.

MungoJJul 24, 2007Better than just about anything else out there right now. Will "The one U wanna C" become the hit it deserves to be? Who knows, but Prince fans should like this one, at least a little bit.

Across Planet Earth’s brisk and varied 10 tracks, he is once again doing it pretty well, from cocky rock strut ('Guitar') to Chic-style, pumped-up funk ('Chelsea Rodgers') and knicker-loosening R&B beats ('Future Baby Mama').
-
It's all right--in the dispiriting way that everything he's put out since his "Symbol" era has been all right.
-
Planet Earth’ll leave you feeling decidedly short-changed.
