5.0 out of 5 stars Versitility, July 26, 2005

This review is from: Acoustics (Audio CD)

I was lucky enough to hear this album at Floater's CD realease. They literally used like 10 different accustic instrument including a squeeze box, trumpet, and standing bass. The show itself impressed the hell out of me and was followed by a full electric set, where they played all the fan favorites. I purchased the CD, brought it home and was very impressed with quite a few songs that I recognized from the show. The album slowly dug under my skin, and I was soon listening to the entire thing without skipping any songs. I am not going to try and pump up floater and endorse them because they are my favorite band, and any opinion I have about their music is jaded. But I find that with this album they bridge a gap that few rock bands can--they reach out to nearly every age group with their lyrical, vocal, and instrumental versitility. This is a fact. But in my *opinion* Acustics was the very best of it's respective year and will be recognized someday for what it is worth, but hey I think it's sales rating is like 26,000 so their genius may never be realized. So if you are reading this then you heard about floater somehow, give it a spin then goin hands with the indie rocker down the street, the metal head who is always in his garage, and grandma--grab a 12 pack of bucsh and listen(sing along) to one of the finest albums in time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Floater does it again., August 5, 2004

Although much softer and completely acoustic, Floater has done it yet again. With Acoustics, the Eugene trio delivers a passionate, angry, yet loving and calm, and ultimately moving album. So sit back and prepare for a musical intoxication that only Floater can provide.

5.0 out of 5 stars I never get tired of this album, June 10, 2011

I have been a fan of Floater since they started. When I got this album, I instantly fell in love. It's not as hard as the others but still has that raw flavor I love. If I were alone on an island and could only take one CD with me, this would be it. Of course, I'd have to have a nice supply of batteries to listen to the CD.
