'Who Speaks for Planet Earth' is an album full of energy and strong beats, as is to be expected from dance music. The electronic sound is complex and layered, and rarely backs off in intensity. I found the beats to be easy to grasp, and I'm sure you'll be tapping along in no time, however there is quite a lot of depth to the music if you're willing to sit down with a good stereo or even better, a great pair of headphones to listen.

The lyrics can be a little hard to grasp and somewhat abstract at first, and for a lot of people their experience with the words may not be much more than a catchy chorus. However when attention is paid, it's quite obvious that the members of 'And Then There Were None' are trying to express a whole range of emotions with their music, and the flexibility of the dance music genre gives them great scope to achieve that.

Overall, while this is certainly a very solid album, if you prefer to indulge in simpler, cleaner instrumentation, or don't already like dance music, don't expect this album to win you over. On the other hand, if you're looking for some new and modern electronic dance music, you would do well to not pass this album by.
