    I really like this album a lot... Except for Picture. Omg, I HATE it. Why is Elton singing like a Texan cowboy??? I hate country music so much, and this is a straight up country song. That's the worst, lol. But other than that, great album! =)
    I feel the same way

    Picture is bad.  I still don't like Long Way and The Haves.  I had low hopes after those were the first releases. 

    Rest of the album is much better.

    I don't like Long Way either, The Haves is ok, I don't like Pictures but the rest is great.

    So bad. I can’t decide which is worse,  picture or the song they did for Elton’s record (e ticket).  Along with The Haves I have never disliked three songs more that ed was a part of. I dig the rest of the album so far. I think Invincible is great.

    Wasn’t this album originally billed as a new solo album with an album title The Earthling? When did it switch to a new side band with the name The Earthlings?

    It wasn't planned. Andrew Watt and Eddie started playing around in Watt's studio and that was the beginning of a new project. They brought in Josh. Then Chad and they contributed music. And then Elton and Stevie and Benmont. It was never an Eddie solo like Into the wild or Ukulele Songs where he played most of the instruments.

    On My Way is awesome... it sounds sad and hopeful at the same time and also kind of hypnotic. I can't get it out of my mind. Ed's dad was a great singer!

    Very cool Ed’s own dad could sing in the album, fantastic. I agree about him being a great singer.
  • Now that EV released this “quickly” and it’s more upbeat and positive, I hope he releases the Out of the furnace stuff. It seemed like even with Uke songs and since he’s hesitant but this earthlings is anything but self-conscious. Just release the music!

    The Dark, The Haves and Brother the Cloud, are my favorites right now.

    Invincible, The Dark, On My Way, and the 3 singles are my favorites.  

    Picture is the only one I’m iffy about. I wish they used a different word than Picture.  It’s not a smooth singable word to repeat over and over lol.

    Try is my favorite so far.  So fun! That harmonica hook or riff or whatever its called gets stuck in my head in the most delightful way.  1, 2, 3, 4!
