 The best damned C.D. you'll never hear about September 13, 2002

Okay, Jacob Golden is awesome. I understand that people reading this might not know exactly who he is so I'll try to explain. Vocals are a bit like Radiohead and Jeff Buckley but in my opinion far superior. Musically, this album goes through catchy indie rock (come on over, turn up the stereo), slow emotional stuff (tuscan holiday, dirty snow), Srgt. Pepper stuff (Hallelujah world) and stuff in between. The craft of Jacob's song writing is unbelievable, any track on this C.D. can be stuck in your head for a week but not in that annoying MTV way, more in a soundtrack to your life way. Basically, this C.D. kicks ass...Think the soft but intense side of Smashing Pumkins, the Bends era Radiohead,and multiply it by infinity and give it god's greatest blessings, and you're getting close to what Jacob is.

This is a truly fantastic album, even if there are a couple of duff tracks; so stunning are the majority of highlights that it still works wonderfully as an overall piece. Polyamory, carried over from his earlier mini-lp, is a tender work of genius, and Jesus Angelina is a passionate songs that builds to an angry climax, and reminds me of Jeff Buckley. pCome On Over is just a great pop-rock song, and the album ends with the stunning Jet Fuel. Play For Life and Dirty Snow are other stand-out tracks. Lyrically inventive, Golden is just an amazing skilled songwriter, up there with Joseph Arthur and Damien Rice in terms of emotionally-wrought, intelligent but also melodic music.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.... October 1, 2003

I bought this album without ever hearing a track when I read the description comparing the vocal quality to Radiohead and Jeff Buckley. This was one of the best impulse buys I've ever made. I tell you this and relate that I am not a effuse and gushing girl by nature. I am well inspired...pEvery track laid done on this CD is a gem of a different hue and each has facets that only multiple listening reveals. Blue Morman Sweater and Jet Fuel inspire the repeat button to live up to its name as I close my eyes and drift off into the layered, beautiful music. Golden has a sweet voice that is strong enough to convey some dark and intense lyrics as well as expressing the loving complexities of relationships. pI've gone back to buy this album for four people who also adore it. Golden cannot produce his next album fast enough.

Yes, it is like Jeff Buckley and Radiohead, but it's also very unique. Mixing acoustic with electronica, Golden's debut is amazingly multi-layered. I love Blue Mormon Sweater, Come On Over and the gorgeous Dirty Snow. Produced by David Kosten(who also did Faultline and Ben Christophers-check them out!)this is a fantastic album. One of the best in my collection.

One the first listen, I wasn't entirely sure about this album but I persevered. pThe more you play this album, the more it grows on you and certain songs really grab. "Come On Over" and "Play For Life" are certainly the outstanding tracks. I just feel that "Penny, Penny" and particularly "Blue Mormon Sweater" let the album down.pI can understand why people have compared the vocals on this album to Thom Yorke, as there is a similarity. But this is only a slight similarity and, personally speaking, Jacob's voice doesn't have that awesome, effortless power that makes Thom Yorke's voice so emotive in songs. The high pitched vocals on some songs becomes annoying.pHaving said this, the album is one that I keep coming back to, which can't be a bad sign.
