5.0 out of 5 stars Wow - A Very Nice Surprise!, March 4, 2006

I saw The Holy Ghost as the first of three bands performing in a small club in Brooklyn about a month ago. I went to the club to see the Australian headliners Wolfmother (who are tremendous, by the way), but got there in time to see all three bands play. As the opening band, the Holy Ghost didn't have the best sound system, but it was clear that they were a talented band with some good songs. I remarked to my friend that "I bet they'll sound better on CD than they do here tonight," and I was right. "Welcome To Ignore Us" is an undiscovered gem. Great singing, complex lyrics and arrangements, excellent production, this is an album worth checking out. I honestly don't think there's a bad song on the CD. "Shut Up and Play" might be my favorite right now, what with its weird "Twin Peaks" guitar and utterly infectious chorus. Check out "Welcome To Ignore Us" - like me, you might be pleasantly surprised.

4.0 out of 5 stars one of my favorite bands, September 26, 2005

the holy ghost is one of my favorite bands--they to clearly show their excellent array of influences (punk, 70's rock, power pop, grunge) while maintaining their own sound--the lead singer has a terrific voice & their songs are well-written
because i live in new york i am lucky to see them live fairly frequently--they are very good live & i would definitely recommend seeing them if they come to your town

4.0 out of 5 stars Significant Improvement . . ., August 13, 2005

These guys keep getting better. This album is much more innovative than their previous stuff, and I expect to be hearing more about them in the media in the coming months. Maybe 1-2 fillers on this whole CD. This album has yet to break into the mainstream, but I rarely give good reviews to the mainstream best-sellers, etc. Haven't seen them live yet, but I would buy a ticket in a second if they come to my town.
