4.0 out of 5 stars Tobin's first (and possibly finest), March 23, 2000

This review is from: Carnival Boy (Audio CD)
Sprout's most GBV-like album is a gem of low- to mid-fi pop craftsmanship. His melodies aren't as original as former fellow bandmember Robert Pollard's, but that cuts two ways. Where Pollard's tunes occasionally meander fecklessly, Sprout's are always direct and appealing. Varied, tuneful and engaging eccentric pop.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellant, November 25, 2004
This review is from: Carnival Boy (Audio CD)
this is one of my favorite releases, tobin shows he was very much a part of the early gbv albums, because those albums were the best, gbv is done and with no wonder, their songs became bad ''WHO'' remakes, they were much better when they had the ''BEATLE'' influence that tobin aspires to. this album is very simple but at the same time very catchy in their pop sensibility. too bad tobin was out of gbv before they really would have hit it big i hope he continues to release more and more solo stuff though this release has been out for a long time and the other solo albums don't have the same feel

5.0 out of 5 stars Never Too Far From the CD Player, March 12, 2004
By 
This review is from: Carnival Boy (Audio CD)
I've been a big GBV fan since Vampire on Titus and was embarassingly upset when Sprout left the fold and Pollard fired the band. This cd righted the ship for me. Without the shadow of Pollard over his shoulder, it seems like Sprout could write some non-self conscious songs that really resonate. I love the vibe of this whole cd and listen to it every couple months. If you like Bee Thousand cut with a little Belle & S style acoustics, toss it on. It's like soul, man.
