5.0 out of 5 stars The Rock*A*Teens do it again!, December 30, 2004

The Rock*A*Teens are the sort of band that brings you on the most delicious musical journey, only to pull you back down to the harsh reality of the world. Full of echo-ey lyrics and rattling guitars, this is definately an album that stands the test of time. Really, no matter my mood I've found that Golden Time is an enjoyable listen, and has maintained status as one of my favorite albums. While the songs aren't as immeadiately catchy as their album Cry, after a few spins in the CD player each track carves a little place in your heart and is irreplacable. Little Caesar on a Bicycle is the first track you'll really notice and that will pull you in, and from there the whole album opens up. (My personal favorite song is Small Town Soap Opera).

I definately recomend this CD for those of you looking for a little bit of a less studio produced sound, with some really soulful and haunting songs.

Just when you've recovering from the last one -this one gingerly lifts your heart off the pavement then proceeds to smash it to pieces - a classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sun Studios Overrun by Punks!, January 4, 2000

This is a great CD. I don't really know this band's previous recordings, and picked this up more on chance than recommendation, but I've been very happy I found it (Okay, I admit it--I found it in a used bin. Some loser sold it, and I picked it up on the cheap. But now that I've heard it, I'd pay full price). It swings in spots like a rock-a-billy band ought to--I'm thinking specifically of 'Little Caesar'--but in others its full of passion--and here I'd cite 'In the Woods of Hemlock Park', which is a great (and practically anthemic) song. This has been a great addition to my collection, and I'm scouring used CD bins everywhere to see what other great CDs this same loser who sold this one is unloading.
