The Daily Copper/Copper Press - Review of Pronto
By Jedd Beaudoin, 2005

Jason Dove crosses Guided By Voices with Bad Company, ‘80s college rock with southern-fried boogie and tosses in a bit of sophomoric emo-ish humor along the way. The end result is a strong album that would be much stronger without the Bob Pollard-esque sense of brevity to which Dove so keenly clings. The record’s finest moments are often its longest ones as well (the title cut, “Jameson on the Rocks”) but the profanity-laden “Hey” and the opening “Landing A Chopper” come off just fine as well. May very well have a genius-level album in him but this one isn’t it. – Jedd Beaudoin (2005, The Daily Copper)
