| Great bubblegum pop/alt-rock. Kay Hanley's voice is infectious and this a great album for the gym or anytime you need a little lift. |

 "quite good cd" | 2007-09-17 |

| I'm conservative with my stars so 4/5 is a very good mark. This cd rocks and fans of letters to cleo should definitely invest if they like any of their other work. Co-pilot and Find You Dead are the best tracks and really rock out! It has good replay value and is an easy listen and doesn't get boring. Good cd, go and buy it folks! |

I have been a fan of LTC since "Here & Now" came out (and became a single because it was on the Melrose Place soundtrack!)
This is my second favorite LTC album, and they keep up the energy through almost the whole disc!
"I Got Time" is a perfect opener! It gives the album a fast start and the quirky lyrics set the stage for the rest of the album ("I've got the strength to move, but....why should I?") Other highlights include the swingy songs "Because of You", "Veda Very Shining", and "Sparklegirl". There are a couple of flat songs, such as "Alouette & Me" and the first single "Anchor". I would have released "Co-Pilot" as the first single for this album; it might have caught on a little better. Plus, it's my favorite song on the album! "Go!" is another great song that deserves to be the title track. It has an energy that doesn't quit and features some great organ work.
Go! is a great album, and fans of "10 Things I Hate About You" LTC and Kay's work in the film "Josie and the Pussycats" (yes, that is Kay as the singing voice of Josie) should give this a listen. You may find that there was so much more to them than just poppy hooks. |

| I don't know how many times people have told me that they saw LTC in 10 Things I Hate About You, went out and bought their cd, and it wasn't what they expected. That's because they aren't playing any of their songs. They sound awesome in the movie I know, but it isn't their music. I have been an LTC fan since 1996 and i love them. This cd is almost their best (second only to Aurora Gory Alice). Kay's vocals sound awesome and the guys' playing is great too. You should really check this out!! |

| The final album from Letters to Cleo is typical mid 90's chik rock, but the vocals from Kay Hanley make this album stand out as probably the greatest female fronted bands to come around in the last decade. As previously stated, there is nothing innovative, but this CD is one of my favorites and find myself listening to it years after it's release. The title track and I got time are probably the best songs on the album. Had the band stuck around for another album or two, they would have been very well-known. This is a great album and is definately worth a purchase, in addition to the sophomore release, Wholesale meats and Fish. |

| This cd is amazing! A must-have, I never EVER skip a song. Songs like Co-Pilot, I got time, and anchor are upbeat and happy. Alouette & Me is the perfect slow ballad. Kay Hanley is a great singer and the band is good as well. |

| Letters to Cleo were a chick fronted alt band from the early nineties that combined elements of shogazing bands like My Bloody Valentine with the crunch of harder alt bands like sheer and the pop sensibility of Jesus Jones. Success proved as elusive For Letters To Cleo as it did for like-minded artists Certain Distant Suns and Eve's Plum. They were pretty good at what they did; the musical mainstream just didn't bite. They definitely sound of their times today, but the album will be a sure hit for fans of the genre or those who are nostalgic for the times. |

| I am really digging this album. I liked Wholesale better than Aurora and this collection continues the goodness. I am little biased because I think Kay could make just about anything sound great. But in this case the music is as strong as her vocals. |

The first time I heard Letters to Cleo was on the movie "10 Things I Hate About You". I was really impressed and went looking for one of their cd's. "GO" is really great. Kay's voice is awesome, and she proves that grrls can be rockers just as easily as guys. Kay is amazing. VERY talented. The songs on the cd are catchy and make for great listening. The fact that Kay wrote her lyrics also makes it all the better. Kay shows that all those pop-princesses are totally lame.
*Check out Letters to Cleo.... You'll be glad that you did!! |

| "A worthy successor to Wholesale Meats" | 2001-06-01 |

| It's good to see Letters to Cleo continuing to refine their musical product. From an unpromising start (Aurora Gory Alice) they improved noticeably with Wholesale Meats and Fish, and here with Go! they have produced an album which, while not better than Wholesale, is certainly more polished. It doesn't have any leaden clunkers like Do What You Want Yeah (from Wholesale), sticking to a more listenable formula of light alt-rock throughout. Actually, two formulas: fast-paced light alt-rock (I Got Time, Anchor) and medium-paced light alt-rock (Because of You, Co-Pilot). While it doesn't do much besides alternate down these two paths (with the exception of the acoustic-sounding Alouette and Me), it does what it does very well. It has more electronics than Wholesale did, and these are a nice touch (especially on Go and Sparklegirl). And the guitar parts, while not intricate or innovative, sound awesome nonetheless. Because of You, Anchor, Veda Very Shining, and I'm a Fool come off as the real winners on the album. On the downside, the lyrics are not quite up to the quality of the music (as was the case on the previous albums as well)... Co-Pilot in particular is sappy to the point of being outright laughable. And outside of Anchor, none of the tracks really gush with energy in the same way that many of the songs from Wholesale (Fast Way, Awake, Pizza Cutter) did. But in the end, it's still just as enjoyable an album, if not quite as exciting. |
