At that time I want to buy Interpol' Turn on the Bright Lights, but it was sold out, then the clerk recommend me this album. It's awesome and became one of my favorite.

though no one will ever confuse earthquake glue with bee thousand, there are moments here when you remember why you fell in love with this band in the first place. there are, however, problems. what's with that annoying sound all the way through i'll replace you with machines? does bob think my kind of soldier is a good enough lead-off track? why are kevin's drums almost inaudible? didn't he mine the whole "i want to sound like the who" thing pretty exhaustively with choreographed man of war? either way, i like this record and it's better than the following year's GbV swan song, half smiles of the decomposed. i just get a little sad listening to this.

Don't Buy It! You'll Regret It........2006-05-16

I recently purchased this CD because I'd been hearing the song "Useless Inventions" on Little Steven's Underground Garage station, and I really liked it. But after purchasing the album and listening to it, I really wish I had never bought it. "Useless Inventions" is the only good track on this CD. Everything else is just bland and boring.
If you're a die-hard fan of this band and have to have all of their albums, wait until you can find a used copy of this one for 4 or 5 bucks, because you probably won't listen to it a second time.
Oh well, at least I've learned that this band had much better albums than this one.

Whose Pollard? Well this is Pollard's Who............2006-03-01

I'm listening to this album now, and I got to tell you I dig it. It is definitely Pollard's Who album (GBV rocks, in every stage of their career, by the way. I'm not going to engage in useless debate about old vs. new)....I've heard alot of influences on Uncle Bob, but I always thought The Who was the biggest. So here you go.....A great album.

Long Live GBV.......2005-01-07

"Earthquake Glue" took about a year for me to get into. As a long time GBV fan, I initially didn't like this at all, I should know by now, as a lot of Robert Pollard's music takes time to give rewards. I kept wanting it to sound like "Isolation Drills" or "Alien Lanes", but once I listened to it for what it is, not what I wanted it to be, I loved it. So many brilliant songs here, like "Mix Up The Satelite", "Useless Inventions", "Beat Your Wings","Dead Cloud", "My Kind of Soldier" and "Dirty Water"...these tunes are really fresh and exciting. Don't expect "Glad Girls" or "Echoes Myron" part 2, though-this is Robert Pollard evolving and moving forward, a nice contrast to the prevoius album, "Universal Truths And Cycles". The arrangements and moods are really fascinating, maybe a little downbeat, but also uplifting in places. Of course, amazing lyrics here and every song paints a colorful picture. Listen to this at home at high volume, and be open minded about it...The drumming of Kevin March is awesome, well done. Another classic in the GBV library.
