Earth Rocker

Earth Rocker is the tenth studio album by American rock band Clutch.

Earth Rocker is the first studio album to be released by Clutch since Strange Cousins from the West in 2009.

Drummer J.P. Gaster revealed that this ferocity may be attributed to Clutch's recent touring experience with Motörhead and Thin Lizzy: "It was on that tour [with Thin Lizzy] that we realized there was really a lack of just straight up rock and roll records coming out these days.

"[2]The band took a different approach to the songwriting for Earth Rocker by engaging in extensive pre-production work to flesh out the songs more fully prior to entering the studio.

"[4] Neil Fallon opined that the planned songwriting approach resulted from a lack of satisfaction with aspects of previous albums: "In the past, we would go into the studio and write.

"[3]The album met with generally favorable reviews,[5] with About.com comparing it to Blast Tyrant and praising it for "kick(ing) harder than a mule on steroids".

On the journey through the world of modern hard-rock, Clutch is like the mad village storyteller.

A three-disc deluxe edition of Earth Rocker was released on June 24, 2014, containing the original album with two bonus tracks, a live recording of the album (originally only available on vinyl) on CD, and a live DVD of the show played at the Ogden Theatre, Denver, on November 14, 2013.
