    Planet Earth is a consistent, exhilarating winner from our reigning genius. [Sep 2007, p.121]

    This sounds more like a new Gnarls Barkley album than an old Prince one. A genius on autopilot is still very clever indeed.

    If America was a self-respecting nation, there'd be a street named after him in every city. Alas, if they're based on this record, we'll find ourselves striding Vague Call to Goodness Street.

    An album without hits or singles something his last two albums had. So this is a weak prince album in my opinion with unfocused songwriting and scattered production. It feels like a paycheck album. Prince does show off his talents in spots but some serious miss-steps also appear such as Mr. Goodnight where he raps. this isn't the classic prince of the 90's its uninspired and fails to show any personality. Feels rather amateurish. Overall, the album is tolerable but does nothing to stand on its own, not a necessary listen but not a bad one either.… Expand

    To be honest it had to be given away in the UK and for a reason, this is one of Princes worse albums ever....boring, awful lyrics and tame he has done so much better...really I don't want to be negative about Prince as he is a genius like MIchael Jackson but Prince hasn't done a album in greatness since "Sign of the times" , infact i find this music and the last three albums since he got his name back..dare i say it Souless. he is also like a James Brown cover band...Prince you need to do better then this, as even people who love your music will stop buying it, the last three i didn't bother with, and i was given them but rejected them after listening to them...You need to get people to hear the albums before you release them so that you do annoy listenrs ears....… Expand
