    What Apollo Sunshine may lack in cohesion, it more than makes up for in spirit. [Nov 2005, p.218]

    Traversing this much musical terrain without a hitch is reason to believe it's showtime for the Apollo. [#69, p.86]

    But it's in the repeated listens that Apollo Sunshine begins to slip into place. Once the ear is ready for the stylistic differences, you can put aside your surprise and start listening for the individual pieces, and that's where the magic of the band continues to show itself.

    This cd gets better each time I listen to it. It's spirit is contagious. Apollo Sunshine definitly has got what it takes to hit it big. Talented, risky and not afraid to feel. Sam Cohen's guitar playing is some of the best that I've heard.… Expand

    Not even the best local Boston band. I cannot explain to you how confused I am that people actually enjoy their music.
