5.0 out of 5 stars SAD DAY THAT THIS BAND DOESN'T GET MORE RESPECT...., August 23, 2009

By	BK (Maine) - See all my reviews

Lillian Axe releases another monster of an album with "Sad Day on Planet Earth" and it is too band nobody will hear this gem. Lillian Axe were like Tesla and Tyketto in the sense that they were lumped into the "hair" band era when they were anything but just a hair band. Lillian Axe has done a great job staying relevant and true to their roots. This album is loaded with melody. If you like the first two Lillian Axe albums you should find the same things to like on this album. The songs are well structured and melodic through out. They do a great job of mixing up the tempos through the CD to keep those with ADD hooked on the CD. The production is solid and the guitars are right up front and are pretty heavy sounding. There really is not a bad song on the album and I know that is cliché' to say, but it is very true here. Steve has really improved as a guitar player over the years which is a scary thought. It is rare to find such an abundance of melody in 2009 and man do they deliver on tracks like Jesus Wept, Sad Day on Planet Earth and Within Your Reach. This album will most likely go overlooked and that sucks because this is such a killer rock album. Be sure to support Lillian Axe and pick up this CD. I don't know how you could be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A hard rock soon to be classic", July 1, 2009

By	C. Bagarozza "Acefreakley" (Hicksville, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Melodic, hard driving, grinding guitar rock arena songs. Lillian Axe continues to evolve into a modern sounding jaggernaut. They take their past, treat it with respect and produce a very modern sounding release with hints of Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and Tool. Check out the future classic Lillian songs "Ignite", "Jesus Wept", "Cold Day in Hell" and "MegaSlowFade."

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Lillian Axe Masterpiece!, July 8, 2009

By	Aljos99 (Apple Valley, MN) - See all my reviews

"Sad Day On Planet Earth" is another GREAT release from the hugely underrated band Lillian Axe! The entire CD is excellent with standout tracks "Megaslowfade", "Jesus Wept", "Ignite", "The Grand Scale of Finality", and "Within Your Reach". Lillian Axe continue to be hard rocking, melodic, and 100% original. While a bit darker and heavier than their previous albums, I highly recommend "Sad Day On Planet Earth" to fans of hard rock and metal that are looking for something that really delivers!!!
