    I hear Don Henley, Paul McCartney, U2, Tom Petty. I hear the very definition of Dad rock. Not much that has the energy, anger, vulnerability or creativity of Eddie Vedder's best. Maybe it's just a bad album - or maybe it's finally time to retire. At this rate, he'll be playing the casino circuit before long.

    Earthling gives an uplifting sense of the creative energy shared between Eddie Vedder and his keenly empathetic collaborators, distilled into striking, memorable songs, and unified by a fresh, cohesive sound. On this evidence, it’s to be hoped the partnership forges ahead as the day jobs allow.

    An altogether less whimsical - and much more Pearl Jam-esque - undertaking than 2011's Ukulele Songs. [Apr 2022, p.36]

    Throughout, Earthling toys with classic radio-rock clichés, only to cleanse them of jadedness via Vedder's trademark wholehearted investment, a trick which still charms. [Apr 2022, p.88]
