    This album fails in that it always sounds tired, dated, passive, and just downright boring. Jon Davison is simply a very, very terrible choice to replace Jon Anderson, and whenever he attempts to do harmonies with Squire and Howe, it sounds strange. The bass of the late Chris Squire (R.I.P.) is drowned out by the unusually unimaginative guitar work of Steve Howe, who really is better thanThis album fails in that it always sounds tired, dated, passive, and just downright boring. Jon Davison is simply a very, very terrible choice to replace Jon Anderson, and whenever he attempts to do harmonies with Squire and Howe, it sounds strange. The bass of the late Chris Squire (R.I.P.) is drowned out by the unusually unimaginative guitar work of Steve Howe, who really is better than this (especially this), and Geoff Downes's inopportune keyboard work on this album. The production and mixing of this album mimic those of the average horrific 90's album. Expand

    Musically, Heaven And Earth is (generally) concise and catchy.

    Business as usual then--though any choice moments are somewhat let down by Roy Thomas Baker's sterile production and some badly dated keyboard sounds. [Oct 2014, p.80]
