"After hearing about a band by the name of Paulson for some two months I checked out a few songs and immediately ran to the record store to pick up "All At Once." Several months later and I still regularly play their second LP some three or more times a week. It's rare for a band this young (both individualy and as a cohesive band) to create such a masterpiece! The melodies, rhythm, singing, and instrumentation are fantasic. Moreso than their first album, "Variations" has a very haunting feel about it yet it's done in a very beautiful way. The way that the keyboards and guitars tie together is excellent, as is the drum and bass aspect, and the vocals are simply incredible.

Buy this record now before these guys start getting more attention! And make sure to catch them live!"

"One of the best releases of 2005. If you like bands like Dredg, Hum, Facing New York, then check this CD out. It flows very well, almost a dreamy feel to it, and the use of a keyboardist adds a lot the sound. There are no catchy choruses here, actually there aren't too many choruses period....but what there is a cohesive, layered sound that sinks in deeper with each listen. I would not call Paulson emo, although thats how I've seen them classified in some reviews. Unlike most emo, the singing on this cd is not the usual high pitched whining. Check it out, It won't disappoint."
