The Gathering - How To Measure A Planet? (Vinyl)

Description

How to Measure a Planet? is the fifth studio album by the Dutch alternative rock band The Gathering. It was released as a double CD on 9 November 1998 by Century Media Records. The theme of space travel runs through many of the songs on the album as well as on the cover and booklet. Upon release, the album received positive reviews from critics who appreciated the band's absorption of newfound elements of shoegaze and trip hop into its sound. However, many fans of the more metallic side of the group were not so pleased and it sold about two-thirds as much as its two predecessors . Many of the Gathering's fans did stay with the band and, as the members have said, it brought them a whole new fanbase.
