Editorial Reviews

Indiescene.com
"Impressive doesn't begin to describe this indie band's debut album, Release...The songwriting, production, and instrumentation are all professional. I would venture to say it could find a place in the top 10 if released by a major...Ziskin seems to have a keen understanding of what it is that makes a great pop song. His emphasis is on melody and hooks and he uses them like a pro."

Product Description
A modern pop masterpiece that combines melodic hooks and a classic songwriting approach with fresh sounds and powerful vocals. A must listen for fans of artists such as the Beatles, Jellyfish, Jeff Buckley, New Radicals and others.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, September 13, 2004

By	Scott Waldon "middle-aged indie rock guy" (benicia, ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After reading some of the reviews, I thought I'd take a chance on this one. I won't say it's terible, but even the best songs are marginally pleasing. Most of the rest are forgettable. It seems as if these songs are in need of something; a little more harmony, a better chorus, some guitar break. They don't quite hit the mark for me. And I don't really hear any Posies influence (as in a review herewith). Maybe potential, but not scaled on this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power pop at its best, October 31, 1999

By A Customer

Being a longtime Jellyfish and Jeff Buckley fan, I was pleasantly surprised when I downloaded MP3's by this band. After listening to their music I immediately ordered the CD and am glad I did. These guys continue in the same vein of great pop songwriting as Jellyfish and the Beatles, and the singer's voice is as powerful and versatile as the late great Jeff Buckley. Keep up the great work, and I'll be watching for other releases!

5.0 out of 5 stars A PERFECT ALBUM, July 5, 1999

By A Customer

Perfect albums have been extremely hard to find since the 70's. The Passion Seeds have acheived a perfect release with " release". The melodies grab you, it is an emotional album. Every song is memorable. The music will never leave your cd player, or your heart. Zach Ziskin has a highly original voice with a massive range. His voice is highly emotional and expressive. The album is extremely well produced, The instrumentation is top notch. This band is gonna make it big. I am glad to have known Zach, he will make it smeway or another. The Passion Seeds need to be known.
