A masterpiece without many genre precedents, ‘Earth 2’ surely helped send doom metal down its more modern drone, ambient, and avant-garde avenues. Those descendants are obvious. perhaps more surprising and gratifying are the ways it has influenced electronic music, modern composition, and even hip-hop by realigning our senses of tempo, time, and texture. ‘Earth 2’ engendered a rearrangement of expectations, regardless of preferred form.
