"This Island Earth's latest release, "Welcome to the Merry--Go-Round" is nothing short of superb. I purchased their last CD "Home Sweet Home" a while ago and thought it might be hard to improve on that one. With this latest CD, they not only show greater range, but continue to write incredibly catchy and memorable songs that are fresh and original. These guys obviously listened to a lot of music growing up, and their command of different styles shows. Hell, just buy it!"

"This disc has great, radio-friendly well-crafted songs.
Sounds great in my walkman or home stereo...Heard them left of the dial and found the disc here. Worth the price of admission, pick it up..."

"After having seen the band several times live and having their past c.d.'s in my collection, it was no surprise that their new disc sounded this good. The band keeps improving with every new release and continues to show a talent for writing some of the best crafted pop tunes that are out there in todays market. Being fed up with the same spoon fed endless droning on of todays manufactured slop that passes for pop music, THIS ISLAND EARTH proves to be the best of todays true music talent. I recommed not only this disc for fans of pop music, but also get your hands on their back catalog as well and do your best to see them live. This is when they truly show what they can do! Also out there is bootleg acoustic preformances of thier early radio appearences. The d.j. who has these tapes is sitting on a gold mine!"

"Don't buy the albums of this group unless you want your brain haunted by their great lyrics and melodies and by their great delivery. They opened for 10 Thousand Maniacs at Patchogue NY Theater a couple of years ago---it was fantastic!"
