Best Of 2002 List: #14 (tied with Kimya Dawson), January 12, 2003
In 2002 The Moldy Peaches decided that they would take a break from each other and see how well their sound held up individually. I must report that it does hold up quite well, but that nothing in the world could possibly match craziness that ensues when the two of them are together. Unlike the majority of the populous (well, The Moldy Peaches-aware populous, so like...10 people) I so far prefer Adam's solo work to Kimya's, but not by a whole lot. The most noticeable difference between these solo albums and their work as a duo, as far as sound anyway, is an even lower quality production. It almost sounds like they recorded straight to vinyl and then dubbed it to an 8-track tape. This can be trying at times, but it doesn't detract enough from the overall quality of the songs to really matter. The bottom line is that you should own The Moldy Peaches excellent debut before you even *consider* either of these, and then it's your choice from there.

Beware, November 26, 2003
This CD is one my favorites of all time, but if you don't listen to The Moldy Peaches, and if you've never been in a garage band, you may not understand. This songwriter writes about things that are real and doesn't clean them up before he puts them to music.
The new style is definitely to be an acoustic guitar-toting sensitive songwriting guy, but the truth of the matter is that Adam Green doesn't fit into that hole, despite the Logo T-shirt and the velvet jacket and corduroy pants. If you wanna hear the world from the lips and instrument of someone who'll say what you wish some guy would say to you, buy John Mayer or Howie Day. If you wanna hear about what life is and the torrent of mixed realitites that is humanity, sexuality and sensuality, porn and erotica, abuse and love and death and tenderness and anger, that's Adam Green. I listen to hours and days of the two albums and he can't be figured out. Like mank and ind.

THIS is the gemstone., February 26, 2005
Fans of the Moldy Peaches, you will not be disappointed but delighted at Adam's great solo effort. Who can help but love this guy? Our favorite stoner delivers a great bunch of chilled-out, comic gems. Opener "Apples, I'm Home" gives off a kind of wacky/silly vibe which seems to almost be a 'theme' for the rest of the album. "Mozzarella Swastikas" is hardly any tamer than the first few tracks. "I'll be getting head, under the rainbow" Green sings in his dazed voice. This type of lyric is definitely not unusual nor surprising as you'll find bizarre lyrics such as this throughout the entire album. Adam Green is CERTAINLY not for everyone; If you're into quirky folktarts or are just curious...check him out.
