Editorial review

God knows what Man on Earth were thinking when they decided to name an all-important debut album Disposable Sounds for the Fickle Mind, but what at first seems like a backfiring attempt at irony quickly resolves into a show of great confidence instead. Surprisingly mature and far-reaching, the album is really too eclectic to simplify with easy comparisons, but what the hell: it mostly combines a melodic, post-Britpop sensibility with sharper-edged American guitar muscle, then tops it off with thoughtful (if anything, too thoughtful) lyrics. After starting with a couple of solid, simultaneously supple and purposefully determined offerings in "The Great Discontent" and "Grow," the band's formula breaks down just a tad with the over-indulgent ambitions of "It's all Been a Dream" -- solid backing orchestration and all. But the overall balance is instantly redressed thereafter with a pair of album highlights -- as different as they are successful. First up is the exceedingly mellow "Come in Closer," with its dreamy, Pink Floyd-like disposition; and, secondly, the darkly muscular, ready-made single "Lazy," with its alternating punchy power chords and delicate pickings. Results continue to vary thereafter, but even though Man on Earth's never-wavering, risk-taking creativity isn't always quite done justice by their still burgeoning songwriting chops, that's not to say that additional creations such as the heart wrenching "It's Alright, We'll Be Fine," the heavily Kid A-reliant "Anywhere but Here," and the flamenco style guitar work of "Taking Closure" don't prove victorious in the end; all of which makes this a very impressive and promising first album. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide

Bio / Background

The members of New York City band Man On Earth are not childhood friends, they didn’t meet in college nor have they known each other for years. In a city of 8 million strangers these four were driven together by a desire to say, create and accomplish something sonically unique and life aware. With a rare blend of accomplished musicianship propelling modern songwriting man on earth has been able to capture the attention of thousands of fans around the world almost completely on their own.

All Music Guide once described Man On Earth's sound as "melodic, post-Britpop sensibility with sharper-edged American guitar muscle, then tops it off with thoughtful (if anything, too thoughtful) lyrics… Surprisingly mature and far-reaching, the album is really too eclectic to simplify with easy comparisons."

Man On Earth's 2005 debut CD 'disposable sounds for the fickle mind' quickly went on to receive critical acclaim shortly after it’s release.

Average Customer Review: 5

Amazing for their first albumB3nno wrote on February 03, 2008

I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive about buying an album from a relatively unknown band, with a MOST curious album title. But, let's just say, that "pleasantly suprised" is a huge understatement!! It has literally been YEARS since I have purchased a music cd, and been excited about each and every offering on it! It simply does not happen!! Well, I'm here to tell you, that it DEFINATELY happened with this one!! This cd runs the gamut of creativity, and diversity. I'm certain that anyone with an ear for truly artistic maneuverability, will be captured by it's truly haunting effervescence.
