Customer Reviews

my only complaint is that it's not long enough.
i like this album a lot. it's long, engrossing, and ultimately mellow with lots of good vibes. there's something in the music that sounds like a huge airplane floating in midair, creating a loud rumbling hum that drones on and on. everything else accompanies this sort of aimless drifting happily about without a care in the world.

simple beats with killer guitar riffs
Earth is a perfect combination of metal and stoner rock. The lyrics and vocals may leave a lot to be desired, but the blending of simple, deep bass with crunching guitars results in an awesome sound. The closest compairison I can think of is Ministry, but with more of a southern rock flavor. The cover of "peace in mississippi" is a masterpiece of guitar riffage.

Now this, this is real grunge.
This is the magnum opus of Olympia band Earth. Dylan Carlson is the mastermind behind this mostly twosome band. He also was best friends, with Kurt Cobain... The cd is a tribute to the southern rock we love, entwined with the grunge (blues, punk, and metal) that is oh so famous from Seattle. The cd is hard and southernish, but it is more on the grunge side. This is the most real grunge is ever going to get, or at least Ive heard. It has its folk undertones, Imagine going to a festival and listening to the Aztec music on the wood flutes, and the bongos. It reminds me of middle eastern music as well. Its more of a composition, and its very well written, and meticulously put together. Dylan has the talent that Kurt Cobain had, maybe more in the composition department. I hardly hear any vocals, its mostly instrumental. They also use an organ on this record. I plan on getting others. This is a great album. It reminds me so much of Seattle. The slow, dark tones are what make me happy. And this has got it down pat. Introduction, Crooked Axis for string quartet,Tallahassee(on video), and Coda Maestoso in F (flat) minor were the songs played on the documentary Kurt& Courtney. When I listen to Introduction and Coda Maestoso, I realize that they are one in same. Except in another key. hmm
