Drowned In Sound
Earth, unlike other musicians who find themselves at odds with modernity, react not by gouging, biting and screaming but instead by releasing and performing music on their own terms, trudging their own steady path

All Music
We are hearing a more improvisational Earth than ever before, one that seems to hold almost limitless potential. This is a worthy follow-up to its predecessor and, for all of its melodic sheen, darker and moodier

Pitchfork
These tracks are built on the brethren of blues, rock, and metal, but they wouldn't be compelling without pieces of bop buoyancy, minimalist restraint, classical consonance, and near-liturgical resolve
