Album Summary
Note: This album has been submitted by a user and is not included in any edition of the book.
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 elements, 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".

Commits the cardinal sin of media by being just plain boring – not even frustrating or so bad it’s good, just boring. Maybe it was notable in the early aughts, but throwing together sparse acoustic plucking and synths that sound like a bad Thom Yorke solo LP doesn’t do much for the album’s nearly hour-long runtime. It’s all so disparate and lacking in any kind of connecting thread, feels mostly like the world’s worst (or most pretentious) jam session.
