PRAISE FOR THE GLANDS

#11 - The Best Box Sets Of 2018” Rolling Stone Magazine

“The Best Box Sets of 2018” The Los Angeles Times

“The Glands may be the greatest band you’ve never heard of.” NPR Music

“The band’s self-titled second album, issued in 2000 by a reborn-to-die Capricorn Records, is one of the best indie-rock records ever made, bar none.”  NPR Music

"The Glands' I Can See My House From Here is a wonderful tribute to an Indie-Rock genius." Rolling Stone

"...Do whatever you can to hear these records — they're ripe for re-discovery." - NPR Music

"...having it in our world is a real gift." Rolling Stone

“Like Double Thriller, like The Glands, every single one of these 23 tracks is a hit, and a testament to Shapiro’s warped-yet-grounded sensibility.” NPR Music

“If bands had batting averages, the number of hits among these 23 tracks would humble even the mighty Ted Williams.” NPR Music

“…this gorgeous set, comprising 57 tracks across three albums and extensive liner notes, reveals a magisterial legacy.” 8 out of 10 Stars, Uncut Magazine (UK)

“Literally every cut is a must-hear, but ‘Pleaser’ perfectly captures the doop-doop harmonies, lazy-day ramblings and sly slacker grooves that make The Glands such an addictive listen.” The 100 Best Songs of 2018, NPR Music  

“It’s a fitting introduction to an artist whose career more than warrants the boxset treatment.” Rolling Stone

"In a just world, singer and songwriter Ross Shapiro’s rock band the Glands would be adored outside of the Athens, Ga., scene that supported them." The Los Angeles Times

“You couldn’t make a movie about band life in the 2000’s without The Glands all over the soundtrack.”  - James Mercer of The Shins

“That self-titled second Glands album was my soundtrack for 2000 … and truly one of my favorite albums ever made by anyone, anywhere.”- Patterson Hood of the Drive-By Truckers

“If it’s possible to wear a CD out with too much usage (it’s not) I did it (I didn’t because it’s not possible). - David Cross

"The Glands used to be a band with only a great record and a perfect record to their name; now they have another one, and it's about as close to perfect as a collection of unreleased tracks can get." AllMusic

“Athens’ favorite band gets it’s due.” Flagpole
