Press Reviews of "Unacceptable Vegetable"
"This band is never predictable. You never know what is going to happen next. This makes the music exciting and strange as well. Excellent band."
-Scott Heller May/08
Aural Innovations (USA)
Also on Low Cut (Denmark)
"Insane and satirical- Voluntary Mother Earth manages to combine heavy rock music with crazy lyrics and subject matters on Unacceptable Vegetable in a way that really works."
-Megan Morgan April/08
Independent Clauses (USA)
"Wer auf Zappa steht, sollte sich 'Voluntary Mother Earth' sowieso nicht entgehen lassen. Das sind würdige Erben dieser Art von Musik."
-Roland Leicht May/08
Prog Rock Info (Germany)
(Unacceptable Vegetable is a) "universal story about life told with great rock music and hilarious humour. The fans of Tenacious D or Weird Al Yankovic will love this album because it's original and it has "balls"."
-Adam Brzezinski May/08
Radio SAR (Poland)
"With a greater budget “Voluntary Mother Earth†could make a definitive blow with their next CD, we wait for it with our fingers crossed!"
-Giovanni Carta June/08
Arlequins (Italy)
"I just don't get this album. Maybe my lack of appreciation stems from my lack of a penis."
-Sebastianna March/08

The True Story behind "Unacceptable Vegetable"
-excerpt
- confessed by a certain member of the band, name not disclosed
1. Give us a Tomato - I had a dream. In this particular dream, I was approached by this person whose name I did not know. Later in the dream I was nearly convinced that a TOMATO is the ultimate solution to all the problems of our society today. When I woke up the next morning, I found on my study desk a song all written out on music paper, treble clefs and all. What you're listening to right now is the outcome of this strange experience of mine. Got a tomato?
3. I said "Just Water, Please" and She Gave me Sprite - This is modern-day blues. I went to a certain chain restaurant and ordered a cup of water. Next thing you know, I got a glass of Sprite instead. What the fuck?
7. Makes Me Wonder - I was meditating one sunny afternoon. All of a sudden, a voice came down from heavens, and my right brain commenced to recite the phrase "It makes me wonder, like Stevie Wonder" many a time. The rest of the song was written in the apartment of the aforementioned Jeremy Thorn his-self. This is a song about the test of love. Some dudes out there proudly say "I'd die for you" to their loved ones. That phrase is over-used and old. Now, are you ready to sell your kidney instead?
-written by a certain member of the band, name undisclosed, sometime in 2008
