Customer comments on this selection.
 Where's Angel?
This is truely the last great Angel album. I'm so glad that it was finally released on cd. The original Angel should get back together and put out some new music. I highly recommend this cd to Angel lover.
about time
i am so glad this has finally been re-released, and remastered at that. i have the lp and put the songs in my pc, but the sound is not that great. and i refuse to pay the disgusting amount that people have been selling the cd for. so thanks to whoever decided to relese this. cast the first stone is awsome even better now on cd.
angel fan
this is the greatest cd of all time. too bad this band was so far ahead of it's time
 Great Album. Poor Remastering.
I was excited to see that my favorite Angel album was finally being re-released and as an added bonus remastered. Having listened to it several times I dare say the remastering is poor. You cannot hear any cymbals. The added text in the liner notes plus Frank's comments are a nice addition. Aside from the remastering a welcome additon. Why Angel was not bigger is ashame as they were fantastic musicians and wonderful showmen.
Rock 'n Roll Heaven!
I'm not sure why this CD has been out-of-print (and extremely EXPENSIVE to find) for the last decade and a half. I've waited for this one so I could FINALLY complete my ANGEL collection. I can't say if it's "the best" overall album in their catalog, but a strong argument can certainly be made for it.
ANGEL had many fine moments on each album they recorded. ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN is certainly not the more progressive rock that the first two albums ("Angel" and "Helluva Band") were. And it isn't quite as pop-rock leaning as "Sinful" (1979). It's somewhere in between. But, no matter, it's an excellent album of straight-ahead rock that explodes out of the gait from the opening drums of "Can You Feel It," and stays on track until the closing notes of the heavily keyboard/orchestrated ballad "Just A Dream."
What's in between are some of the bands finest moments. This includes "Cast The First Stone," "White Lightning," "Telephone Exchange," and "That Magic Touch." In fact, the crunchy riffs at the beginning of "Cast..." are some of the heaviest guitarist Punky Meadows ever laid down. "That Magic Touch" is simply infectious to sing along with, and should have been a huge hit for them. One of my favorites for sure.
ANGEL never made "the big time" as they certainly deserved to do. How such a talented band didn't when so many lesser-talented acts did (and do) is a mystery to me. Thankfully, we old enough to remember them, have the magic that lies within their music. ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN is an excellent piece of rock 'n roll that's time has once again come to shine it's Heavenly light on us all!
