iTunes Review
When hip indie acts try to recreate the warm analogue hiss and vintage vinyl tones of their favorite old records, the result often plays back with a handful of anachronisms giving away the modernity of the project. Had Detroit's the Go kept original member Jack White in the band (he left in 1996 to start the White Stripes), Howl On the Haunted Beat You Ride might sound like such an album. But these recordings resonate with such authentic antiquity, that songs like "You Go Bangin' On" and "Caroline" could easily be mistaken for a lost Mungo Jerry outtake or a Ringo Starr B-side. "Refrain" gets headier in a Muswell Hillbillies-era Kinks setting, while "Mary Ann" borrows boyish earnestness from early Nazz recordings with a playfully catchy chorus that the Hollies would be proud of. "Smile" moves with a serpentine slickness as singer Bobby Harlow coolly sneers, "You don't find a love like mine every day just to throw away." Because Howl is the kind of album that grows on you song by song, the overall result comes off sounding more classically ambitious than unapologetically retro.

Wow
by Polyester PinheadI simply can't get over how good this album is. Unapologetically '60s retro--but with songs (and sounds) this beautifully crafted, you'd be crazy to write it off as derivative. If you're like me and you buy a lot of music, you're always kind of searching for that new band or new album that'll totally blow you away, that collection of songs you keep on repeat for days, weeks at a time. This is that album! Man. Rock 'n roll this wonderful is a gift from the gods.
yeah...
by do the astrothe Go is basically one of the greatest bands ever to grace this planet. they're better than any band you'll ever hear on MTV with half the fame. if you don't buy this album right now there is seriously something wrong with you, although i agree that vinyl is a better way to go.
i keep flipping this record over and over...
by Sam JusticeI'd recommend the picking up the vinyl, but this album is a bubblegum masterpiece in any format. Invisible Friends and Refrain will put a great knot in your stomach.
