Alternative PressWhat Apollo Sunshine may lack in cohesion, it more than makes up for in spirit. [Nov 2005, p.218]
-
The band parlays its tuneful edification into an experimental collage, bouncing between art school rock, guitar-heavy psychedelia and keyboard hippiedom, yet interconnected by lyrics that are both shrewd and satisfying.
-
MagnetTraversing this much musical terrain without a hitch is reason to believe it's showtime for the Apollo. [#69, p.86]
-
There are great stand-alone songs here, like the 1960s-at-78-rpm sugar rush of "Eyes", but Apollo Sunshine is best listened to in a full dose and appreciated in all its messy glory.
-
While their recorded output has still not quite caught up to their prowess as a live band, that moment is likely right around the corner; in the meantime, this album is more than good enough to make that wait worthwhile.

BahausCJan 17, 2006Not even the best local Boston band. I cannot explain to you how confused I am that people actually enjoy their music.
