The Harvest tighten up their sound and their chop on the followup
author: woolyone
Right off the bat you can tell these guys mean business with this record and considered this a mean challenge after their wicked debut. If they were trying to top the debut in terms of sheer attitude I'd say they've done it and then some. I'm not saying this record is better, but it does channel the inner rage captured in the previous cd more effectively over the course of the entire album, whereas the first record only had its moments. Once again, this isn't good or bad because the laid back vibe of the first record was very welcome and sets it apart from this. If anything, these guys haven't repeated themselves while staying true to their sound and selves. I guess it sounds like they're showing off in a very classy way here, and I like that. They are one of the few groups who can do this and not sound cocky or smarmy in the process, quite a mean feat.

Oozing of Talent

For a sophomore album, Golden Dragon doesn't let you down. It keeps with the first album's music. Downtown Harvest is amazing at attempting (and being successful) in many areas of music. No two songs are alike for these guys. Fried Shrimp has a funky rap sound while Napier has rock music with slight screamo appearance in the middle. These guys are in a league of thier own; I'd definately recommend this album to anyone who likes variety and talent. Start off with Sinner, Napier, and Clockwork Tangerines (my personal favorite) to get a taste.

This CD is delicious musical candy for the ears.
It seems like DTH is a completely original group doing what no one has ever done before. I really appreciate their originality and technical skill. I can pick out influences from funk, jazz, electronica, rock, and hip hop. Great band.
If you like people like bands like beck, cake, wilco, etc. then you will enjoy them for sure.
This is some of the best money I've ever spent.
Best wishes
