5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! Watch out for this group!, November 2, 2008

By	Tony "TW" (Snellville, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This one has the repeat factor. I only get inspired a couple of times a year to write a review about a group that I just discovered and this one does that for sure! I've only been listening for 24 hours and I can't get enough. A bit of Beatles meets Brandon Heath meets Leeland meets MercyMe meets Switchfoot(the slower Jon Foreman stuff)?
Very creative melodies, lyrics and composition. Produced very well. Favorites(at least in the first 24hrs) are The Streets, Love, The Sound of Your Name.
Keep an eye on this group!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best CD I have purchased in years..., August 1, 2008

By	Brandon Mathers (Hillsboro, OR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Above The Golden State (MP3 Download)

This debut from Above The Golden State is amazing. I liked it right away, but every time I listen to it I love it more. Every song is great and the musical variety throughout makes this CD a musical adventure. It is hard to pick my favorites because they are all great for different reasons. However, if I was given only two choices I would have to select; "The Haunting" and "Streets". If you are considering purchasing this CD, I encourage you, you will not be disappointed. You will enjoy the varitety of instruments, including clarinet and cello or violin. Michael Watson has a unique voice and the variety of backup vocals are a perfect touch. I can't say enough about this debut, I can't wait to hear more from this band!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, February 14, 2009

By	C. J. Wynne "Slider" (Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I saw the video to "Sound of your name" on the Gospel music channel and was hooked right away. This is quality work that deserves to be heard by the masses. Every song on the disc is thoughtful, well written and pleasing to listen to. We should be hearing alot more about this group in the future--I hope.

Musical style very similar to Jars of Clay. Clean, uplifting lyrics that both entertain and have a bit of a mellow feel for those slow, lazy days.
