Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars such amazing pop.......2001-02-26

the black watch create such amazing pop--in the vein of My Bloody Valentine (but more acoustic-oriented and with strings), XTC (but more smooth, less quirky), and Moose (but much less twangy--more lush and at the same time more rockin'). "Caroline" and "All the Stars are Jewel-Bright" are great upbeat happy pop with dozens of dirty guitars and hum-along choruses; "Bring Me the Shears!" is like an excellent outtake from MBV's "Isn't Anything" era, there's a ripping version of Gordon Lightfoot's "If you could read my mind". this records just goes on and on--it's spacey and beatuiful and quiet like Yo La Tengo too. Very obscure band (but getting better and better known all the time), very awesome pop.

5 out of 5 stars Another brilliant record.......2001-01-16

Lime Green Girl is a return to the full band sound of earlier Black Watch records like "Amphetamines" and "Seven Rollercoasters", with J'Anna Jacoby back in fold as a true member of the band (1999's King of Good Intentions, even though it featured J'Anna on a few tracks, almost seemed like a John Andrew Frederick solo album).

Lime Green Girl gets off to a great start, with the mid-tempo "Caroline" and its grimy (but not dirty) guitars and understated melody, which reminds me somewhat of "This Way Out" - era Idaho. The next song "Bring Me The Shears", my current favorite track, has heartstopping chorus that digs into my brain every time I hear it. The rest of the album prety much follows the lead of these two songs - alternating between woozy post-shoegaze ("I Remember Swimming") to frenetic indie-pop (for lack of a better term) workouts like "Purple Milk and Yr. Pink Sky" and "Cellophane". All in all, Lime Green Girl is another near-perfect gem of an album from one of the most overlooked bands on Earth.
