    Kind of disappointing... their last album was fantastic, but this falls short. There's a lot more English on this one, which I think was the wrong way to go. The indecipherable Khmer lyrics are half their charm.

    The band itself is top notch here.

    Always led by the miraculous voice of Ch'hom Nimol. So beautifully and effectively, in fact, that they end up giving fusion a good name. [Feb 2008, p.78]

    Venus on Earth, their third album, contains more English lyrics than their previous two efforts, but it also represents some of the band's most sentimental work.
