August 1980

Terry Brooks and Strange

To Earth With Love

Genre: Psychedelic Monster Solos

2.75 out of 5

Highlights:

It’s a Beautiful Day

We only have a handful of tracks from this psycho-delic release. 

Mr. Brooks can’t sing. He doesn’t write songs as much as puts finger tapping monstrosities over rudimentary chord structures with an epic amount of feedback and fuzz. Brooks tries so damned hard and I have to give him points for some of it. “It’s a Beautiful Day” is quite the electro-noodle extravaganza that it saves this record from dipping under “2.5”. At times Brooks is downright genius and at others so derivative to verge on boring.
