Trivia
- The Source recorded all of the basic tracks for All Along This Land in one day.
- Dreams was the final song recorded during the hectic day when The Source recorded all of the basic tracks for All Along This Land. A week later, during the overdubbing process, it was discovered that the band forgot to record the second verse of the song. The band chose to leave it that way.
- Lyricist Aaron Goldich chose to rewrite the lyrics to Dreams prior to recording the vocals. On the way to the studio on the morning that he intended to record the vocals for Dreams, Aaron realized that he had forgotten to write lyrics for the second verse of the song. He wrote them on the way up to the studio that morning: "I have waited far too long/And I am lost for words completely on this part; is there still time? Or is it just too late now?"

Reviews
- This album is amazing! What is even more amazing is the potential- this is the Source's first album, and look at what they are producing. I can't wait to see what comes next for this exciting band. - Merouan, via iTunes
- The cover does not lie... although the first song with its "Beatles and " feel may be a little misleading, the rest of the album falls clearly into the classic Yes tradition, big conceptual epics included. Perhaps a little too ambitious for a first album; however, if words like Relayer or Awaken mean something special to you, this album is really worth investigating. And, given the surprising youth of this band, one cannot help wondering about the future evolution of The Source. Who knows, maybe we are hearing the first steps of a future prog giant! - Jose Javier Delmas, via CD Baby
- Very, very good American 70's influenced prog. A new, young band that gives us a fresh well-played album with lots of inspiration from Genesis, Yes, ELP and Pink Floyd mainly. Very strong song writing, and highly skilled players makes this album one of the most interresting debuts for a long time. Probably the most interresting new band since Spocks Beard! RECOMMENDED - The Missing Piece, Music website
- This CD is a great album for any progressive rock fan to check out. Great lyrical content and powerful music makes it hard to turn off! Source Fan, via CD Baby
- I The Source, con base a Los Angeles, sono una band composta da un giovane e talentuoso quartetto: musicalmente dedito ad un prog rock di stampo settantiano, i quattro americani entrano nei nostri stereo col loro debut album "All Along This Land". Le nove tracce del disco ci mostrano una band incredibilmente interessante, con un songwriting e una perizia tecnica veramente notevoli: il fulcro del disco è sicuramente la suite che dà il nome all'album, composta da cinque canzoni che sprizzano gioia e solarità ed intrise di quel sound progressivo che tanto ha spopolato nei mitici anni settanta. Il risultato non è però una mera celebrazione dei maestri del prog di quel periodo d'oro: i The Source riescono, pur seguendo un percorso musicale chiaro e ben definito, a suonare freschi e convincenti; una vera sorpresa per il sottoscritto che, vista la giovane età del gruppo, non sperava certo di trovarsi di fronte ad un prodotto così maturo ed interessante. Ma parliamo della suite: "All Along this Land" ci riporta indietro di trent'anni, investendo l'ascoltatore con la sua carica e melodia; le cinque parti risultano ben relizzate, e i The Source riescono a proporci delle soluzioni musicali ricercate ma al contempo molto semplici da seguire ed assimilare. Onore alla prestazione del cantante/tastierista Aaron Goldich che convince in tutte le tracce, regalando una prestazione concreta e senza inutili fronzoli o virtuosismi: a mio avviso il migliore della band anche se, credetemi, gli altri tre si attestano comunque su ottimi livelli. La produzione è ottima e permette di fruire appieno del cd: interessante anche il booklet, ben curato ed essenziale. In definitiva un prodotto che a mio avviso non dovrebbe mancare nella vostra collezione di dischi: se poi siete fan sfegatati del prog settantiano questo debut è il modo migliore per sentire come si può unire l'amore per certe sonorità con l'incedere inesorabile del tempo. Una vera sorpresa che ammalierà e conquisterà anche voi: date una chance a questi giovani americani! - Hard Sounds review
