5.0 out of 5 stars Glorious guitar driven alternative pop., August 23, 1998

What can I say? This the last hurrah for one of the best indie pop bands that I know. Sarah's vocals are magnificent and the music makes your body dance to the heartfelt words. Just check out "One Word" and you will quickly realize why Velocity Girl is such a loved indie band. One of my favorites.

4.0 out of 5 stars More polished, but border-line "poppy", January 19, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Gilded Stars & Zealous Hearts (Audio CD)

It is interesting to listen to Velocity Girl's sound progress over time from a brash garage band to the very polished, "poppy" group you hear on "Gilded". I'm not as big a fan of the poppy sound though. Note that the Velocity Girl music on the Volkswagon ad and "Clueless" soundtrack are both older songs. My CD collection, however, would be incomplete without Velocity Girl's last hurrah.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lush vocals, perfect indie pop, March 31, 2006

Those who have been fans of Velocity Girl from the days of their harsher indie band sound tend to be disappointed with this album (their last), but taken on its own merit this is a masterful piece of alterna-pop. Sarah's vocals are lush, yet upbeat and the music is poppy and fun, but with enough substance behind it to save it from the mindless-pop pile. This is the kind of CD that is versatile enough to be a soundtrack for a lazy sunny Sunday or for driving music (especially "Finest Hour"). It's relaxing and happy.
