"This music is extremely simple.. composed of jazzy guitars and drums with quick jabs of high pitched synthesizer, I found this album a little too much to listen to all the way through the first time. There is defenitely more natural instruments than anything synthetic. The drummer is excellent, as is the guitarists, but the music in itself is a little bland if you've never heard anything like it before. After the second listening, I found it to be very relaxing. It's defenitely something you have to get used to. The melody lacks alot though, and can be repetative if it's all your focusing on is catchy electronic melodies .It defenitely requires patience. If you're looking for something upbeat and catchy like The first New deal cd, this is not for you. If you're looking for something more simple, with elements of jazz and funk with great percussion and soft organic electronic undertones and cheerful chirpy melodies, this is for you. ^_^"

"Germination is one of my favorite albums of 2003, if not of all time. I come from a strict background of classic rock, however, I love this album. I recommend this album to ANYONE with the slightest amount of taste. I started listening to Lotus in late 2002, early 2003. When I went to Bonnaroo 2003, we took a boom box with us. Whenever we were back at our tents, we were listening to LOTUS! Most of us had never even heard them before, but we couldn't get enough. Germination is amazing! LOTUS ROCKS!"

"While this is a top 10 live album, it doesn't do the live Lotus sound justice. If you have yet to see them live it will rock your f**kin' socks!"
