Biography

Forget whatever you thought about Clutch. Earth Rocker crumples up the bad categories that have miscast them for years — stoner rock, post-hardcore, metal, grunge — and leaves no question about what they are: a damn good rock and roll band.
Earth Rocker is a solid, straight-up rock and roll album, exactly what the band had in mind for their tenth studio album, now that their ... Read more in Amazon's Clutch Store

4.0 out of 5 stars More bearded fatman rockin' 28 Jun 2005
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
This one doesn't hit you as immediately as Blast Tyrant. The songwriting isn't as tight because they didn't spend as long on it. Some of those BT songs were around for years with different names, so by the time they were released they were perfect.

This one's a lot more laid-back and sounds more like regular stoner rock, the way Slow Hole To China did. There's some awesome songs though, like 10001110101 and Gullah, and the new keyboardist puts churchy organs into the slow songs and Meters-style solos into the instrumentals.
They really should have kept Machine at the production controls. Blast Tyrant was punchy and gave Neil's voice the richness it deserves. Here the instrumental passages slip into the background and his voice sounds a bit thin. As ever, Neil's lyrics make you sit up and think "did he really say that?".
It took a while for BT to grow on me, so maybe i'll warm up to this one later on. But for now it's another solid Clutch album, but not in the league of BT or Elephant Riders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robot Hive/Exodus 8 Jun 2005
By Amplified Man
Format:Audio CD
I have to say, right off the bat that this is Clutch's best album to date. There's always a split with Clutch fans as to whether Elephant Riders or the self titled is their best (I preferred Pure Rock Fury before this came out) and I think it's a testament to how brilliant they are for their best album to be released 15 years into their existence.

For those who haven't heard Clutch, I cannot really articulate their sound in mere words. They're bluesy (a Howlin' Wolf cover appears here), they're funky and groovy and they can be pretty heavy when they want to be.

The music is top notch stuff; you can tell these boys do it for a living. Jean Paul Gaster is one of the best drummers I've seen live, he pulled out a 10 minute drum solo the first time I sawe them. The rhythm section is tight and grooving. Tim Sult, the guitarist is obviously a Hendrix devotee without going over the top.

Now it's Neil Fallon, the vocalist that really takes Clutch to a new level. He's the make or break point to wether you like Clutch or not. His voice is an acquired taste. It's very gruff and powerful yet not harsh as you'd expect. Described as 'the voice of ten men'!. His lyrics are extremely clever and witty too and you'll be singing them for days to come.

To those who have heard Clutch; then you will not be disappointed. It gathers together all the elements that make them an awesome band and is a culmination of their past efforts. It has the solidity and catchiness of Blast Tyrant, but has the technicality and querkiness of Elephant Riders. The songwriting and consistency is up there with the self titled. Robot Hive/Exodus is chock full or catchy choruses, grooving rhythms, & bluesy riffs & is one of the most infectious albums I've heard.

You'll just have to hear it to understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Clutch. 13 April 2007
By Mr. Ts Dudhill
Format:Audio CD
Every song is masterfully arranged, subtly blending solidly imposing rock riffage with technical and inventive flair and Fallon's ambiguously entertaining lyrics. The album is considerably more blues-tinged than previous releases, after hints embedded in Blast Tyrant with the addition of an organ player to a single track, who is now a fully functional member of the band; a move which adds such variety and depth of colour to the band's already overwhelmingly confident modern heavy rock sound. The move away from more hardcore climes certainly elevates clutch as a band in terms of musicality, and essentially this album is a collection of songs the band *wants* to write and record; that they work incredibly well individually and collectively on this record is a clear indicator to me of a band at the peak of their game. I only hope that their new offering 'Beale Street to Oblivion' focuses the band's efforts on creating the ultimate modern rock cocktail.

No duff or dull songs on this album to mention, I have been solidly listening now since I bought it 6 months or so ago; the groove brings you back for more.
