"Just when you've recovering from the last one -this one gingerly lifts your heart off the pavement then proceeds to smash it to pieces - a classic."

Apty Titled

"The uniquely hollow, shambling guitar sounds captured me first, then the tales of yearning and cajoling kicked in. "The Woods of Hemlock Park" best showcases the high-pitched, overly-stressed vocals and the roughshod execution that would make an emo kid wince. "Black Metal Stars" is only one of the songs highlighting a very insecure lyric pen. And the basement bathroom production and Five Eight like vocals really compliment the messages."

The Rock*A*Teens do it again!

"The Rock*A*Teens are the sort of band that brings you on the most delicious musical journey, only to pull you back down to the harsh reality of the world. Full of echo-ey lyrics and rattling guitars, this is definately an album that stands the test of time. Really, no matter my mood I've found that Golden Time is an enjoyable listen, and has maintained status as one of my favorite albums. While the songs aren't as immeadiately catchy as their album Cry, after a few spins in the CD player each track carves a little place in your heart and is irreplacable. Little Caesar on a Bicycle is the first track you'll really notice and that will pull you in, and from there the whole album opens up. (My personal favorite song is Small Town Soap Opera).



I definately recomend this CD for those of you looking for a little bit of a less studio produced sound, with some really soulful and haunting songs."
