Other review quotes about SMAD:

"I've been listening to your new album and like it very much. It's so well done - from the writing to the singing and playing. The production is uniformly excellent. From top to bottom, it's very well put together....I think you have much to offer a listener or an A&R person or a music supervisor." - Peter Jesperson

"After twenty-plus years, Minneapolis singer-songwriter Dan Israel has proven himself an expert at navigating the wide-open field between power pop and roots rock....spreading his wings has led Israel to his best album yet" - Big Takeover magazine

"Dan Israel has been creating folk rock for over two decades, rarely venturing outside his chosen method: sweet melodies, infectious hooks, jangly guitars. You couldn't accuse him of being avant garde, but that wasn't the point. It was always a quest for perfection. His songs are fine-tuned miniature masterpieces. "Social Media" finds him spreading his wings, and it's full of surprises. We get glimpses of folk-rock and the rest is harder to classify. The songs never go where you think they will, but you're glad they did." - Duluth Reader

"The most polished, poppy and just plain pleasant of Israel's 15 (!) albums, with ample Beatles flavor alongside the usual Dylan and Petty." - StarTribune

"Dan Israel has a storied resume. With 15 albums to his credit, he's made his mark as a gifted singer and songwriter of exceptional ability. Social Media Anxiety Disorder [is a] smart, savvy, and clear reflection of Israel's ability to combine memorable melodies with an irrepressible attitude." - Goldmine magazine

"You've made the best record of your long career. Digging all the textures, twists and turns. Varied feels, chord changes, hooks & left turns...heartfelt performances. Bravo." - Adam Levy of the Honeydogs

"Accentuating the positive, with the solar-powered, upbeat pop and exuberant horns streaming out of "Be My Girl," Minnesotta singer-songwriter Dan Israel tries to beat back self-doubt and regret on the multi-faceted Social Media Anxiety Disorder, his 15th studio album, perhaps his most stylistically unique and idiosyncratic effort to date." - Elmore magazine

"On this record, Israel mostly does his thing, and he does it extremely well. Very few musicians can keep making records this catchy and vital-sounding as they get into middle age, but Israel has again proved he's evergreen. No reason to think he won't still be here 20 years from now, doing exactly this. Here's hoping." - Duluth News-Tribune

"In a 'good way,' Dan and band bounce between musical styles throughout; with the constant golden thread being quality songwriting; and pretty damn cool melodies and rhythms too. There's a little bit of all that is good in American music here." - Rocking Magpie

"If you love the sound of classic guitar-driven pop artists from the 1980s, you're almost certain to dig the sounds you'll hear on the humorously-titled "Social Media Anxiety Disorder." Minnesota-based singer/songwriter Dan Israel has hit the target with this one. This album is chock full of smart melodic pop that is memorable, intelligent, and uplifting." - babysue/LMNOP
