    A maniacal slab of DIY punk rock ?

    it paints crudely and schematically a portrait of the artist as messed-up, disillusioned, self-indulgent twerp with an unhealthy appreciation of the mid-'80s US guitar underground, whose demo-quality doodlings (Graham plays, sings, produces and paints everything. And all to a rather average standard) should probably have never seen the light of day.

    The Golden D' is Coxon's second stab at recording the most pointless album of all time and rest assured he's getting there.

    Graham's such a character. He's shy and yet he spews forth such angry squiggles on his guitar. It's not perfect, but it's a stack better than all that punk pop and emo out there.… Expand
