CD ReviewsPrententious? No. Thom Yorke Ripoff? Absolutely Not. Beautif Noi Boi | 07/23/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "An awful lot of these reviews keep coming back to the point that this album is pretentious. Honeslty, I could not disagree more. Losing guitar in place of piano is not pretentious, its a brave move. Judah Nagler, a guitar player, wanted to make an album without guitar. Welcome to The Velvet Teen. In regard to the stickers on the front of the album, maybe slowdance records wrote about The Velvet Teen in glowing terms because they are close friends and TVT is their flagship band. Why anyone would criticize him for that is beyond me. As far as Thom Yorke similarities go, Thom and Judah have similar voices, Judah is inspired by Radiohead. Saying that Judah "rips-off" Yorke is rediculous. Lastly, in regard to poor lyrics all i have to say is when was the last time you wrote something better then this? "half-full loses weight once you taste it / so for now my empty glass must mean i've chased it / but i'm not wasted and i'll not waste it / the dealer laced it with a new decree of our separation / how many have you taken? / and i could run off at the mouth / for hours on end, like i'd gone senseless / but i'm just speechless / rendered me defenseless / barred from your presence, my name from present-tenses " This album is a beautiful deviation from the norm in this genre. The Velvet Teen proves through Elysium that they are a well rounded group who are capable of anything. This album is one of my top 5 albums of all time. I recommend it HIGHLY to anyone who enjoys good music." Aches with beauty L. S. M. | AR, USA | 06/10/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album will make you cry out from sheer emotive ecstasy, and I am not exaggerating. When Judah Nagler's voice soars towards the end of Poor Celine, you heart rises along with it; when he croons "you're not meant for me" at the end of Forlorn, the effect is dramatic, conveying a sense of, well, forlornness. The harmonious vocal arrangements and resplendent musical production make this a true sonic "elysium" you'll want to revisit again and again...and again." Believe it. D. Stapleton | 03/25/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This album is a revelation. Words do not do it justice. Decide for yourself."
