    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 An album without hits or singles something his last two albums had.

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

    planet 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.

    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.
