Can you mix industrial, rap, reggae, pop, and jazz into an intelligible combination? Earthsuit has, and they have done it admirably. The title of their debut project, Kaleidoscope Superior, is undoubtedly linked with the sound they have achieved. Produced by David Leonard (Indigo Girls, John Mellancamp, Toto, Oingo Boingo, Prince), the lavish spread of drums, electronics, and guitars is like an ornate tapestry. This music moves between aggressive and atmospheric moods with a seamless flow. Another thread that gives this project its identity is the otherworldly quality inherent in both music and lyric. The messages that Earthsuit presents are not typical Christian subject matter. Taking a mythical and philosophical approach to faith, they challenge the listener to ponder as well as listen. Even if you don't plug into the transcendent journey that Earthsuit takes, the music pulls its own weight. There is enough talent here to land Earthsuit in the company of mainstream musicians who are known for their superior artistry. --Israel Button

 NOT FOR MUTE MATH FANS February 11, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
if you, like me, are considering giving earthsuit a listen because you're a fan of mute math, you might want to think again. i'm a huge mute math fan (they're easily one of the best acts - live or otherwise - around today). so when i heard about earthsuit, i decided to give them a shot, thinking they might bear some similarities to mute math. i couldn't have been more wrong. while the music isn't awful (think a wannabe christian 311), it bears little to no resemblance to the instrumental wizardry that attracted me to mute math. it's a lot of jesus and a lot of rap-rock. if that's your thing, check em out. but thank god the album was only a couple bucks because god knows that ain't my thing.
 Before there was MUTEMATH January 26, 2007

Earthsuit is like a early collegiate version of MUTEMATH with a hint of a hip-hop edge akin to 311. Again a unique sound coming from a great group of guys.
this is not rock March 13, 2005

Don't let all those other reviews fool you. The music on this cd is NOT rock; rather it is more in the vien of adult contemporary hits. So if you like John Mellancamp, Prince, and crap like that then you will probably like this cd. If you are looking for a rock cd then keep looking.
 Very nice mix September 18, 2004

This is the most unique album I've ever heard in this genre. It mostly has a progressive sound. Like Saga meets Linkin Park. The lyrics have a great message. Its great to listen to while relaxing.
A Refreshing Difference from Boring Tradition June 16, 2004

Earthsuit breaks barriers that most bands falsely boast of breaking. Everything about the requires a second look: the lyrics, the music, their message; it is an interestingly refreshing refuge from the mundane contemporary christian music that is coming out now.
