Release Date: 2000 | Tracklist


This first paragraph may be simalar to the Goldfinger-Goldfinger one.


Goldfinger started in 1994 and got their first self-titled album in 1996.That cd was my favorite Goldfinger album.It had two videos which were "here in your bedroom" and "mable".Their 2nd cd came out in 1997 which had one video from the album and that was "this lonly place".Also the song "superman" was on the first tony hawk game for play station.Their 3rd cd was Darrin coconut ass or something and I really dont know much about that one.Their 4th album was Stomping ground,the one im reviewing now.It had 2 videos which were "counting the days" and "99 red balloons".Their 5th album was Open your eyes with the video of "oper your eyes" and the song "spokesman" was on the 4th tony hawk game.Then in 2005 they realed a greatest hits cd called The best of goldfinger.Again in 2005 they came out with their latest album called Disconection notice with the video for "wasted".


About this album:They started out as a ska-punk band for 2 albums,Goldfinger and Hang-ups,but they started getting a little poppy with this cd.Their are still punk but kinda lost their ska styles.At the same time this cd is good though,maybe not the best Goldfinger cd but not the worst.

im down-Good song to start the album.The beginning is a guitar and the singer.After that goes on for awhile,the drums rocking guitar and lyrics are in loud.The chorus is very catchy with simalar sounds as the 2nd part of the first verse.The guitar solo is pretty cool.Then like any other song,2nd verse,chorus,3rd verse,chorus.Then the song ends with a guitar solo.

rating-4.5/5


pick a fight-Another good song.The guitars rock loud and the drums are pretty fast.The lyrics are perfectly fit with music.The song stay the same pace most of the time exsept for the bridge slows alot then slowly gets faster.The song is a high point in the album.

rating-5/5


carry on-This song is a little let down.Its kinda poppy.The intro is normal,theres guitars,drums,and bass.The verse is cool and catchy but chorus is very poppy and annoying.This song is good but the chorus really ruins the song overall.

rating-3.5/5


the end of the day-this song starts with accoustic guitar then the song starts rocking.Its really fast paced through the verses then the chorus slows down a little but still catchy.The bridge is slow for awhile,normal for awhile,then fast.Then the song ends with a quiet ending.

rating-5/5


dont say goodbye-This guitar intro is really cool,then whole band comes in.The verse isnt that special,normal speed,normal music.The chorus is good but kinda poppy because its about a girl.The bridge is simalar to most of the song.This song isnt that great overall.

rating-3/5


counting the days-The first video of the album.Its a great song.The intro is loud and rocking.The first verse is slower but its catchy.Then the chorus is loud with lyrics that are awseame "still counting the days ive been without you......1 2 3 4 !!!"The bridge slows down alot,the same lyrics as chorus are used in a different guitar part witch sounds great.Its a good song and the video is good itself.

rating-4.5/5


bro-This song is very different then many of the songs on the album.The guitar intro is soft,then it gets loud and the singer is like yelling instead of singing(which sounds cool).That goes on for a long time,then the bridge slows down a lot.The song then gets loud and rocking again.

rating-5/5


san simeon-The begging is very soft for awhile then the song gets rocking but not extreamly loud.I really like chorus.The guitar solo is like any other solo out there.The bridge slows down and slowly gets faster.

rating-5/5


you think its a joke-Another song simalar to the others on the album.It gets loud for awhile,gets slow for awhile.The chorus is simple in lyrics by just saying "you think its a joke"and saying something people think is a joke.The bridge is to awseame!The guitar really rock in it.Then the chorus ends the song.

rating-4/5


forgiveness-This song stays slow for about 40 secounds or something.Then the song starts rocking and gets fast but still kinda boring.The really dont try do anything big with this one.

rating-3/5


margaret ann-Vert simalar to "forgiveness",it starts slow for a long time then gets a little louder but nothing really interesting.Its hard to tell the difference beetween this song and "forgiveness".

rating-3/5


get away-Once agin,its simalar to the previous two songs.Starts slow gets alittle faster but nothing real special.Im not going to say any more about this song because its simalar to the previous two.

rating-3/5


99 red balloons-This is by far the best song on the album,maybe even the best Goldfinger.The beginning is soft and quiet the picks up a little the totally gets rocking.The verse is still rocking loud with vocals then a great guitar solo comes in.Another verse comes in.Then slows down and ends slow.

rating-5/5

donut dan-Goldfinger has joke songs all the time and this is one of them.Its about I guy named dan and he probably fat.Its funny.

rating-5/5


And im done with my review.

The review would need way more info and such.

On the music, I've never really liked this stuff but the band is one in the genre that sticks out to me.

This review is terrible, it defines vague. I mean some of the tracks he just says "Well there is "It starts out cool, then there is guitar, bass, and drums, it getsa little fast.. blah blah blah" To top it all off you are too lazy to put your own album picture up, leaving that burden to Med of Damrod.

If I never heard a single song by this band before, I would not have a clue what to think about the album after this "review". I dont know why some of you think this is a "good review".

Go study up on one of the top 10 reviewer's reviews, then come back and try to salvage this review or something.This Message Edited On 10.01.05

I strongly suggest you add a tracklisting and album cover. It is not the mods' responsibility, it is your responsibility as a reviewer. It looks very shabby and unprofessional when leave it partially incomplete.

It would help to add a lot more info on the music as well. Really describe, don't just say "starts slow, starts rockin, sounds similar, pretty good". Try and add more depth in the future.

Damrod and I do add in album art and all that for any albums that don't have it, but if you could add it that would be appreciated. Apart from anything else if neither of us are on for a few hours it just makes the front page not look that good, which we want to avoid. I basically agree with ShadowsFallen on the content of the review...add a bit more detail if you're going to do a track by track would be my recommendation.
