Editorial Reviews
Young the Giant write the sort of soaring, melodic rock 'n' roll that's bound for greatness. From the jolting percussion and anthemic chorus of 'My Body' to the lovesick fervor of 'Cough Syrup,' to the uptempo, sun-stained pop of 'I Got,' the California five-piece's stunning debut features an arresting collection of songs that announce the presence of a vital new band.

I'm an avid amazon browser. In fact I spend probably a little too much time previewing music and books when I should be working, but that's another story. I owe amazon for my discoveries of such amazing artists as Ray LaMontagne and The Black Keys, and now I must add Young the Giant to that list. I usually don't take the time to write a review for anything, as it takes some kind of miraculous occurence to compel me to shell out the 200 words or so. This band is truely amazing. I don't use that word lightly. I love everything about this album. It's so original, intricate, polished. To say it is better than 99% of today's music is an understatement. These guys really have something different. I'm really hoping that this is only the beginning for them, because talent like this deserves recognition. Don't fall into the "My Body" trap and just buy the mp3. That isn't even the best song on the album, albeit it is a good one. My favorite song from this album is "I Got." It is just so much fun! Great tunes, great instrumentation, great vocals. Do yourself a favor and get this album.

I heard Young the Giant's My Body once and immediately purchased the album. I'm so happy to say that it isn't the only great track on here. It's the kind of great soaring melodic rock that seems rare now a days. Sameer Gadhia's vocals are excellent, moving and evocative, and the music to go along with it matches him on every note. Definitely one of my favorite albums of the year.

My daughter discovered them through a family friend a while back when they were called Jakes... We then trouped over to their SF concert at Bottom Of The Hill and I was hooked. It is very precious that I am able to enjoy music with my teenage daughter! Just Priceless! If you have not auditioned their sound - you owe it to yourself and to your kids to give them a serious listen! You'll find something to cherish! Bravo! Well done! Get it: Young The Giant

Absolutely delightful.
I love this album so much. XM Radio plays "Apartment" and "Cough Syrup" quite often, and I was exposed to other tracks on YouTube. It is totally worth the $7. Read more

When the chorus for "My Body" kicked in, I was feeling like I haven't felt since the early 80's and the first couple of Big Country albums. Read more

Impressive debut album, and even better live
I don't know how I missed this album from the So.Cal-based Young the Giant last year, but better later than never I suppose. Read more

If you like the singles, buy it
I've had to resist the urge to tell my friends to buy this but I can tell you! I'm usually scared to buy a whole album after falling in love with the singles but Young The Giant... Read more

Why isn't everyone talking about this band?
There are enough long reviews on Amazon (including some from yours truly) so I'll just keep this short: The more you listen to this album the more it will grow on you. Read more
