CharlieQ.Jul 17, 2008Uniquely fascinating, eminently listenable, entertaining and frequently inspiring. The lead track "Borneo" will stick in your head for weeks.

[Anonymous]Jun 13, 2008The influence of South/Southeast Asian musical traditions, combined with new levels of ferocity in Tod A.'s perennially cynical lyrics, render this album one of Firewater's most inspired efforts yet.

Sep 20, 2019A journey worth taking Tod A tells stories similar to Leonard Coen. If you liked Cop shoot cop you will love Firewater.

It's some of Firewater's angriest, most poignant, and most accomplished music.

It’s a testament to the strength of Ashley’s reality, and more importantly his adaptability, that the album holds together at all. Although it draws on half a continent’s worth of source material, The Golden Hour still bears, at every turn, the dark, swaggering cynicism that has always defined Firewater.

It defies, nay challenges, you not to tap your feet or, heaven forbid, dance.
