5 out of 5 stars Props to my Santa Rosan Homies.......2005-01-30

HOT DAMN!
We Santa Rosans rule. Judah's little bro Ephriam Nagler(who is also mighty talented and cute) went to my high school and hung with me and friends and so I've been a fan of these guys since 11th grade(bout 4 years now guess). Used to see them at every local show and they are brilliant. This is the first album of thiers that I bought and it is still my favorite. I knew you guys would make it. Love you dearly.

5 out of 5 stars Marvellous........2004-01-04

This is an amazing CD. I think I might like it even more than 'Out of the Fierce Parade', and I absolutely adore that.

The Velvet Teen combine sad songs with wonderful upbeat songs. Judah Nagler has the most amazing voice, and really, I can't think of anything bad to say about this fantastic band. They're my absolute favourite.

I have seen them live, I have all of their albums, even compilations, did I mention how great their music is? It is amazing and brilliant. Simple as that. You can listen to it over and over and never be sick of it. The music has so many dimensions its crazy awesome! check it out! You'll be very happy you did.

4 out of 5 stars First steps of a great new band.......2003-04-08

After having to pull my jaw off the floor upon hearing Out of The Fierce Parade, I had to get this ep of earlier material. Upon hearing the opening track, "Naked Girl", I was impressed with how fully developed their sound was from the start. Staking a ground between Radiohead and Superchunk, The Velvet Teen blow away the very idea that they're yet another Emo band. While there songs are emotionally packed, thanks to the introspective lyrics delivered by the fantastically smooth and flexible vocals, it doesn't read like pages from a whiner's self important journal. We are talking craft here.

Admittedly it sort of dragged for me towards the end. If I hadn't heard the superior version of "Penning The Penultimate" from Fierce Parade I'd probably feel different. That said I was pleasantly surprised by the more electronically enhanced tracks.
"Counting Backwards" with its deconstructed 80s bits had worried at the start but totally won me over by the end on sheer momentum and a wink. "Your Cell" is a compelling hermetically sealed world of keyboard effects and guitar riffs that rise and fall from the mix. "Super Me" sports tastefully intergrated sound effects (are they real?) and pretty piano. But it isn't all filligree though. "Never Happy" pushes forward with a rock steady lunges of guitar and keyboards.

Can you tell I love this?! Recommended for those who aren't afraid of honest real emotionally packed music.The electronics are more pronounced here than the debut so this may effect some people's enjoyment. Can't wait to see where they go.Wipes out mere radio pop right off the stage with assurance and skill.
