"Years after its release, I have found what I initially considered to be merely a "good" album, is actually one of the best albums.

"A very fresh and active sounding album. The guitar work is fantastic, the singing is emotional and powerful and the songwriting is extremely original. Only complaints being it gets a bit samey, but we'll see if it gets better with each listen." Reply

"I've been listening to this album an awful lot lately and it reminds me how much I miss this show. The lyrics are brilliant and the music never fails to make me happy.

"I saw Earth live at the release of 2014's Primitive and Dealy.
