  • Summary: The Brooklyn, New York-via-Memphis rock group releases its full-length debut produced by Chris Coady.
Score distribution:
  1. Positive: 5 out of 8
  2. Negative: 0 out of 8
  1. Golden Triangle isn’t the second coming of anything in particular, but they at least know what they’re doing.
  2. Golden Triangle gets in and gets out, but they have fun doing it.
  3. The record is full of tight rock songs, but these ladies really distinguish themselves when they stretch out.
  4. While most of Double Jointer's tracks are at least good, the band doesn't tap into that spirit often enough, and ultimately it leaves the album feeling a bit flat.
  5. Despite the obvious stylistic proficiency at play, Double Jointer is a bit too au courant (maybe it's all that reverb) to have much of a long-term impact.
  6. The songs are fun in a fizzy, party-in-a-box, ephemeral way, but nowhere near as interesting as those of similarly structured (part-female, double-guitared, 1960s-inspired) Fresh & Onlys.
  7. Under The Radar
    50
    Double Jointer primal high may entertain for a while, but there is an unhealthy amount of reverb deflating this trip. [Spring 2010, p.72]
