Reviews"Full of Haunting Songs Doused in Harmonicas, Saloon Pianos and Dusty Guitars.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "The 12 artfully crafted songs here suggest Blitzen Trapper should now be judged in the elevated company of Wilco, Brendan Benson and The Raconteurs.", Ranked #42 in Uncut's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2010" -- "Immensely well-crafted Americana with a strong Beatles fetish at its core.", "Beatles-esque piano and string arrangements dominate the melancholy 'Heaven and Earth.' But it's the title track that best showcases Blitzen Trapper's ability to quickly shift musical gears.", "Singer Eric Earley's Fantastical Yarns Match the Band's Grandiose Genre Muddling...", "With pristine harmonies set to late-60's psychedelic scuzz. The result is another opus-de-Americana washed in experimental folk-rock...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Trading low-fi ruggedness for gorgeous Americana pop, they conjure Dylan circa JOHN WESLEY HARDING and proggy ELO...", "Like that of many of the great blues-rock classics, such as Van Morrison, Muddy Waters or the Stones, Blitzen Trapper's structure is solid and very traditional.", With a piano that echoes like it's in a cathedral in 'Heaven And Earth,' Earley weds nature with humanity."
