5.0 out of 5 stars Tighter, fuller and more powerful than ever before!, 25 Feb 2008
By Jimmer (here) - See all my reviews
On 'The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull' Earth is no longer one mans vision. This is a band record, the instruments are no longer there to colour the guitar lines. With this new attitude comes a new level of resonance and depth to the sound. Where Hex was stark, bare and spacious this album is full, rich and warm. The songs now have BIG hooks and are full of emotion whilst also seeming (to me) to go back more towards the big drone (this is especially helped by the move from having Baritone Guitar to Bass Guitar). Where Hex was loose and occasionally more unpredictable this album is tight and hypnotic, in a similar way to some of the songs from Pentastar but sounding nothing like that album.
As with all Earth releases it does not do the live band justice, but that is the nature of what they do. Seeing them live in November last year and more recently this month in Camden they managed to bring more looseness and spontaneity to the songs, whereas on CD it is tight and concise.
Still none of these changes or differences are unwelcome and the more complex interweaving sound of a band coagulating together is perfect for the melodic sound Dylan Carlson has been storming towards ever since Earth2.
Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspired and essential , 12 Jan 2008
By Mr. S. M. Howes (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
After 'Hex' and the subsequent tours supporting that album, Earth reveled in the continuing musical evolution of the band, emerging in the dark satanic twang and austere American beauty produced on said record and the illuminating 'Hibernaculum' release . The 'Bees Made Honey In The Lion's Skull' discovers an even more darker template for Dylan Carlson and the band to grow into . A psychodelic production with some crisp inviting guitar sounds, an album that ebbs and flows and is throughly inspired throughout .

Carlson is joined on this album by legendary guitarist Bill Frisell which adds texture and counterpoint to Dylans playing .

'From strength, sweetness . From darkness, light . The bees made honey in the lion's skull'

Being a fan of the band and having witnessed them on the tour with Sunn O))) back in Feb ' 06, i was looking forward to hearing this new album with bated breath and it doesn't disappoint . Hugely rewarding and expansive, the album gets better with each listen . If 'Hex' was a rewarding listen, this album will be too . Get it !!!

2.0 out of 5 stars not for me , 19 Mar 2008
By sean paul mccann "mccanns23" (ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
Drone instrumentalists Earth have been plugging away for years and have achieved a success built on respect as much as anything else in truth,this their sixth album ditches the drone aspect and concentrates more on song structure to create something that is more bluesy than metal,and more average than good.
The songs are epic and sometimes this doesnt work in their favour,they can be quite repetitive and lack a certain something,it isnt all bad of course but i found this very hyped album to be something of a let down,just so you know.
