About

Neon Golden is the fifth studio album by German indie rock band The Notwist. It was released on 14 January 2002 by City Slang. Neon Golden is rooted in the experimental musical style that The Notwist had moved towards on their previous two studio albums 12 (1995) and Shrink (1998), which found the band eschewing the abrasive rock of their early work and delving into electronic music. The songs on Neon Golden fuse indie rock and electronic element, taking influence from styles such as glitch and IDM. The A.V. Club described the album as a "synthesis of dreamy indie-rock balladry and stark electronic underpinnings", while MusicOMH critic Dylan Kilby referred to it as a work of "electronic post-rock". At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critic, Neon Golden received an average score of 89 based on 20 review, indicating "universal acclaim". The album was acclaimed upon its initial release in Europe in 2002, while in the United State, it was widely hyped well before its official February 2003 release date due to its circulation via import copies and file sharing. In The Village Voice's 2003 Pazz & Jop poll, Neon Golden was voted by critics as the year's 33rd best album. .
