More off the cliff, sky is falling posts on an album that hasn't even been in your hand for more than 10 days...LOL...Come on Wall, Planet Earth, the worst Prince album of all time? Not even close...I think Rave fits the bill...Folks that are reviewing this album 9 out of 10, also have their own opinions, albeit very suspect...

My view: Planet Earth is a cool little album that should be taken for what it is ...That's the probloem with the Org...Everyone works off of extremes...Either Planet Earth is his worst (Wall) or a 9/10 release (according to some medically-impaired folks...)....It's not that serious on either side of the fence...


The problem with marks in terms of points is that you don't know the standard people usually apply. For me, a 10/10 means "instant classic", while the 9/10 means "very enjoyable". Other folks will say that "enjoyable" alone does not make more than a 6/10 in their book. What that has to do with "medically-impaired" - well, the standards for online manners seem to decrease here recently...



Not at all...9 out of 10 usually means an album is on the edge of a classic...Again, I enjoyed Planet Earth...I think its a cool little album...But I'm not going to say its close to an instant classic; and I'm definitely not going to say it's his worst, which is even a more puzzling statement...My post was concerned with the extremes that the Org seems to work with...Plain and simple..

I'm sorry, but even the tip of Justin Timberlake's perpetually flaccid penis couldn't touch Prince on this record.

I think the fact the we both hold justin timberlake's music in such low esteem only make my point the more valid.

Anyway, I think it's a crock of shit, so if anyone wants my copy, drop me your address and I'll happily post on to you, with a set of ear plugs or needles if you'd prefer...
