    Pitbull was never normally an artist that I was hooked to, or an artist that considered very creative. But most of the time he managed to deliver decent and somewhat enjoyable music where he managed to mix regatone, crunk and hip-hop. But lately, he has been acting a lot like the radio, he was repetitive, he dumbed himself down to the maximum, and he had literally everything sound the same. But  he can fix that though, if he can pull through with this album and finally make something decent and worth listening to for the first time in a while, I highly doubt it due to his resent guest appearances, singles and leaks, but nothing can really be told, or even judged until the final result.

    My biggest fear in music in general came to life in this album, why? Because it faced the same problem as Eminem’s Relapse and Kanye West’s 808s and Heartbreak, which is having almost every song in the album sounding the same, but this time, it has been taken to the extreme. The music is built for clubs and parties, and I like that music, I don’t mind it, as long as it feels a little bit different. But the problem is that this album sounds almost exactly the same throughout every single track, it’s like going to a club or a party, then hearing the same song for a whole hour, and I would not like listening to the same thing for a whole hour.

    I’m not even gonna comment on the lyrics in this album, because I already knew what to expect here, which is: sex, sex, dance, sex, and more dancing and having sex, that’s all I’m gonna say. But there is a little comment I would like to say, is that the lyrics seemed a bit too dumbed down, even for music that is built on a radio, and for music which was already considered dumbed down from the beginning. What I’m trying to say is that, the music on this album is so dumbed down that a blind three year old with knowledge about sexual content and going to clubs can easily write this album, and it would more or less sound the same as Planet Pitt, and if I’m not exaggerating maybe a little better.

    Another problem with this album is the uncreative production, despite the beats being probably the only entertaining thing here, they almost all sounded more or less the same. Almost every instrumental on the album sounded the same, thus forcing me to wait and see if something different would come up, “Hey Baby” sounds like “Come N Go” which sounds like “Pause” which sounds like “International Love” and that sounds like “Where Do We Go” which sounds like “Something For The DJs” which sounds like most of the rest of the album, which was a really big problem for me, because the beats on the album had potential to be at least a little enjoyable, but they get harder to enjoy along the album due to almost all of them sounding almost or sometimes almost exactly the same.

     The album did have some mediocre, or even good enough tracks,. “Castle Made Of Sand” had a really different feel than the rest of the album, it still had a club feel, but it sounded different, and it actually had some content lyrically, it actually talks about something, which is rising to the top, and making it to success. “Shake Senora” had a bit of a regatone feel, which I liked, and which is the music that Pitbull should more or less be making, but however it did sound like the rest of the album in a few ways. “Mr. Right Now” was extremely stupid, and mostly a bad song, but the hook was very strong thanks to Akon and “My Kinda Girl” was another boring club track, but it did have a different feel at the very least.

    I really hate to call Planet Pitt an album; I would rather call it a boring radio playlist instead, because it all sounded the same to me, it was literally dumbed down to the limit, and it was really nothing but a huge fail. I think Pitbull should go back to his regatone/crunk style before he sounds like a walking broken tape recorder, because this album? I don’t think it will work out for me, not today, not tomorrow, never. This album sucks, there is almost nothing entertaining about it except for some instrumentals and a small number of tracks, but otherwise this album is pure garbage. So right now, after seing Pitbull as a decent enough artist for seven years, I have to ask, Pitbull, what happened?
