Goldfinger - Open Your Eyes

Only the shrewdest music fan will remember that Goldfinger once threatened to trouble artists like No Doubt and Sugar Ray on the charts. The band's commercial stock has dipped since the runaway success of 1996's smirking ska-punk hit "Here in Your Bedroom," but, despite several key lineup changes, the members have worked hard to maintain a respectable level of belligerence in their music. If they were only younger and worked off those beer guts (and perhaps wore less clothing) they would undoubtedly give Blink-182 chase with adrenaline-packed songs like "Open Your Eyes" and "SpankBank." And if all were right in the world, "F*** Ted Nugent" ("I wish that he'd be gone / Chauvinistic Republican kills animals / He forgot how to write a song") would find a comfortable home on TRL. --Aidin Vaziri Amazon.com

Better Than Expected.

After reading a few reviews on how this is a disapointing album and not catchy i was drawn away from buying it, but, i love goldfinger and have ever since back in 1999 when i played the first tony hawk game i heard "superman" and fell in love with it. So, i saw this at cd wharehouse for 5 bucks so i picked it up just so i could give it a shot because its goldfinger. From the first track i really enjoyed it. It has alot of upbeat songs and few slow ones. IT could be a little better but its still good old goldfinger, but with no ska at all, i still like this though. I really enjoyed the 2 tracks "Going Home" and "FTN" because they were very fast and upbeat with great lyrics and especially on FTN, the lyrics were hilarious. WEll overall i liked this album and its not there best, but it is a good listen. I also look forward to purchasing Stomping Ground and Hng-Ups because as of now i only own this album, Open Your Eyes, and the Self-Titled. November 21, 2005

This CD Brings Me Back...

There is nothing special about this cd, it's simple, catchy, fun pop-punk. However, I listened to this cd during a somewhat rough time in my life, and I must say, it really helped me get through it. Now, whenever I listen to it, it brings back such a nostalgic feeling, and I love that. This is a great summer album. Don't expect too much from it, and you will enjoy it. February 19, 2005

My favorite CD

Excellent lyrics, excellent beats. This is the goldfinger CD to buy, do NOT buy "Darin's Coconut Ass" because it's really bad compared to this. November 25, 2004

Goldfinger-Open your eyes

When i first heard this CD was coming out i thought it would be a little more metal, but not at all. It is pop punk, or punk rock. They took the whole vegitarian thing a little too far, but it doesnt effect how good the music is. Its definatly official, goldfinger has no ska left in them, which kinda sucks. The Best songs are spokesman, descision, tell me, radio, and FTN. FTN is a really funny song that cusses about 50 times in a minute. Id say if you like any other goldfinger you'd like this too, even tho its slighty changed. You will also like this if you like Offspring, Green Day, or good charlotte. Overall this is a good, more mature sounding goldfinger CD. August 22, 2004
