I'm wondering why I have been listening to it regularly since I first got it several weeks ago. It was well received by fans of the band and critics alike despite the change in sound. This music is very cool when reading those cowboy novels or playing these 'desperado's' games while running this in the background. | The album was the first new material released by Earth after a nine year break due to Dylan Carlson's drug and legal problems. Dylan Carlson and Adrienne Davies have pulled off a coup in extending the reach of doom metal with its distinctive characteristics into ambient soundscape territory. The album was in stark contrast to Earth's previous works; the guitar playing was clean as opposed to the heavy drone material of the earlier albums, and the music was heavily influenced by country music as well as Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian, also evident in the album artwork and song titles.
