"It's a great disk for doing a little time travel: Just throw the new
self-titled CD in the deck and point your car west for an
afternoon." (.pdf)
Westword: Critics Choice, July, 2005
"Wisely, the band avoided overly ornate production on the disc, and
this stripped-down approach has served it well, leaving plenty of room
for the album's centerpiece, the vibrant vocal interplay of Sundermeier
and Stake -- whose voice bears more than a passing resemblance to Edwin
McCain's. Add to that some tightly wound three-part harmonies, which
[Todd] Davis helps round out in the live setting, and you've got a good
jumping-off point for the relatively young band."
Westword: Locals Only Review, October, 2005
"Vocalists Mark Sundermeier and Chris Stake's instantly hummable
melodies and mellifluous three-part harmonies help the Trampolines defy
prosaic typecasting. Although there's no shortage of great tunes on the
disc, "Bring Me Down," the album's closer, provides the best example of
the their notable ability to dovetail voices."

"This summer, the Trampolines issued their eponymous debut before a
sell-out crowd at Red Rocks; the release has since gone on to register as
one of Twist & Shout's top sellers. With melodies and harmonies that are
as sweet and seamless as braided pieces of cherry licorice, it's easy to
see why."
The
Colorado Daily, January, 2006
"This past year found The Trampolines bouncing into the spotlight and
becoming one of Denver's top bands."
