83The lyrics are as trite and cheesy as ever, but age and playing house with No Doubt's Gwen Stefani have mellowed model-esque frontman Rossdale.
-
80Golden State is, inevitably, rather good.
-
80'Golden State' is easily the band's most accomplished record and should stand as one of the best British rock albums of 2001.
-
Another sturdy set of radio-ready rock. [26 Oct 2001, p.124]
-
70Whatever its negligible shortcomings, Golden State at least serves to inject a depth of vision to what formerly was a rather one-dimensional musical entity.
-
63The album may not break much new ground, but the band's performance is more dynamic than on previous releases.
-
There is little on Golden State to differentiate it from its predecessors. [Dec 2001, p.76]
-
This is a return to the sound of Sixteen Stone, complete with big, grandiose production propelled by ballsy grunge riffs and real hooks in the guitars and vocals.
-
60Golden State merely sounds like Bush--not as buffed as 1999's The Science of Things, but slicker than 1996's Razorblade Suitcase. [Dec 2001, p.152]
-
Gavin Rossdale's delicious rasp is still unequivocally sexy, but his melodies are rote versions of the same old song.
-
30Sadly, nothing about the unspectacular Golden State will save them from the Where Are They Now? file.
