  1. There are moribund string melodies here that would be at home in a BBC costume drama, and when they address global warming, their politicised folk-rock calls the distinctly unfashionable likes of the Levellers to mind.

    The overall feeling, despite all the musical mix'n'matching is of a traditional record: a rootsy return, rather than a copy of a certain Canadian seven-piece art-rock racket. [Jul 2009, p.105]

    This is a better than promising start. [Jul 2009, p.118]
  4. We have an album that displays a band with considerable potential, but which is disappointingly lacking in imagination: compositionally and lyrically.
  5. With a bit of luck, Broken Records won’t be afraid to indulge themselves a little more in the future, because it would be a minor tragedy to see such a worldly band opt to wallow in mediocrity
  6. Much of Until the Earth comes off like the narrator from "Windowsill" still telling these damn kids to get off his lawn.
