5 out of 5 stars Second Best to "Dig".......2007-02-04

10 years after the bands first release, with a new singer, and a whole new style IME still manages to release an album that actually gives "Dig" a run for its money. This is probably my second favorite release by the band. It's too bad they are no longer together or I would be anticipating their next release. The bands style is definatly not like it once was. The atmosphere is a lot darker and more Tool-ish. I think the new singer has a lot to do with that. The band did do a cover of 46 & 2. Anyway, even with the new style it's still amazing. I was so happy when I somehow managed to find this album for $8 new. The cd is great from beginning to end and doesnt stop impressing the listener. The standout tracks would probably be "I Is Us", "Hell & Malfunction", "No Coma", and "Meat Dreams". Really the whole cd is great though. My only complaint is that the last track "Passenger" is just too short and the only average track is "God Rocket". Here's the ratings for everything...

1. 0157: H7 - 10/10
2. Choke - 9/10
3. I Is Us - 10/10
4. God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) - 8/10
5. Like the Sun - 10/10
6. Hell & Malfunction - 10/10
7. Soft Bomb Salad - 9/10
8. Juicy - 10/10
9. No Coma - 10/10
10. Meat Dreams - 10/10
11. Passenger - 10/10

Overall: 96% A

It's just a really well created release by a band that has changed a lot. You can definatly see where they get most of their inspiration from now. I personally think it's the second best release that comes really close to being just as good as "Dig". Anyone who is into Tool should probably give this a try, and maybe even check out their old stuff as that is easier to get a hold of.

5 out of 5 stars Hella sweet.......2006-09-01

This seems pretty different from other IMO efforts. However, it is definitely worth the risk, if you are used to the old IMO. It does take a couple listens, but some of the tracks really blow me away.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing........2006-03-19

I bought this CD the day it came out a few years ago. I loved it the moment I turned it on.

I've always been a fan of I Mother Earth, but I'm not one to like an album just because I like the band. I am a classical pianist, violist, conductor and choral singer, as well as a composer of music in all genres, including rock, pop and jazz. I also have played drums and bass in rock bands for ten years. This album is the most artistically satisfying rock CD I've ever encountered, and is never for a moment pretentious (Tool, Mars Volta, et al).

If you're a lover of "rocking out", then buy this album. If you're a lover of music in any genre, or even someone who truly appreciates artistic intent and values, then buy this album.

I especially love the track "God Rocket". Dire realism combined with the highest level of optimistic creativity...

5 out of 5 stars A real grower........2006-01-21

This album is nothing like any other IME album. I didn't like it on the first listen. I admit I didn't listen to all of the tracks though.

These guys have clearly been listening to Tool and other progressive bands since they did their last album. Songs like Hell and Malfunction (which I *never* get tired of), God Rocket and I Is Us are just stunning. There isn't a bad moment on this album. If you want something to mosh to in the car, try "Choke". There is some radio friendly songs - Like The Sun and No Coma in particular (the latter has echoes of The Killers - two full years before that band released their album). I Is Us packs incredible tension only to release it in bursts.

I'm not normally one to rave about albums, but yeah, if you like electronic-infused rock with a hint of progressive metal, get this one. If you don't, you probably won't like it.
