Golden Triangle isn’t the second coming of anything in particular, but they at least know what they’re doing.
-
Golden Triangle gets in and gets out, but they have fun doing it.
-
The record is full of tight rock songs, but these ladies really distinguish themselves when they stretch out.
-
The brightest spot of this release comes in the form of the upbeat “Jinx,” where the band almost cracks a smile despite the subject matter. Even though the band comes from Brooklyn, the Sleater-Kinney vocalisms on “Jinx” only further Golden Triangle’s Seattle leanings.
-
While most of Double Jointer's tracks are at least good, the band doesn't tap into that spirit often enough, and ultimately it leaves the album feeling a bit flat.
-
Despite the obvious stylistic proficiency at play, Double Jointer is a bit too au courant (maybe it's all that reverb) to have much of a long-term impact.
-
The songs are fun in a fizzy, party-in-a-box, ephemeral way, but nowhere near as interesting as those of similarly structured (part-female, double-guitared, 1960s-inspired) Fresh & Onlys.

Under The RadarDouble Jointer primal high may entertain for a while, but there is an unhealthy amount of reverb deflating this trip. [Spring 2010, p.72]
