In 2006 Cave In took a break from the music world after releasing Perfect Pitch Black. But it looks as though a three and a half year hiatus was enough to rekindle the desire to make music. - The Tripwire
The Boston bad-asses return to form on Planets of Old and come through with a reminder about why they were the talk of the underground for most of their existence. The band drops some of the highbrow ends and prog-rock overtones that fattened up its previous albums and gets back to the metal nitty-gritty. There's more than just powerhouse beat-downs, though (Cave-In is Cave-In after all), and the four cuts on this EP are some of the best of the heavy you'll hear this summer. - Aversion.com
The four-track EP continues along the path of the band's omni-directional last album Perfect Pitch Black (reviewed here). It swirls together bottom-feeding metal jams, jetpack rock 'n roll and raging hardcore. Each track is a short visit to a planet they've already inhabited. - Cerebral Metalhead

“Everyone in this room is very privileged,” announced Allston, Massachusetts-based sludge-metal act Phantom Glue's bassist Nick Wolf a mere hour and a half before mighty hardcore mavens-turned-prog metallers Cave In played their first show in four years. Wolf was hardly the only one feeling that way. When Cave In first announced that they'd be reuniting for a small club show at Allston, Massachusett's Great Scott, a tiny-ass, PBR-fueled venue a mere block from this writer's apartment, I knew it wasn't just a “privilege,” it was fucking fate. - Revolver
