Review

In 1999, Vertical Horizon didn't have much with which to follow its breakthrough single, "Everything You Want." And yet the song's percolating groove provided enough sustenance for listeners led astray by Secret Samadhi, Live's pompous follow-up to Throwing Copper. Now, Vertical has returned with Go, an album in which "When You Cry" stands in for "Everything You Want" and introduces the album's catch phrase psychotherapy, with Matthew Scannell singing "I can't wait until you let me down." "I'm Still Here" seems to cross the band's 1999 hit with Michelle Branch's "Everywhere," which was produced by Go helmer John Shanks. "Echo" is at once the album's hookiest and most opaque moment, applying the familiar acoustic/electric, quiet-loud formula. "I don't want to be just another echo," Scannell sings. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Re-release Cover of Go 2.0

Go was the fifth album by Vertical Horizon, released in 2003 by RCA Records. It was originally scheduled to be released in 2002, but management changes at RCA led to a year delay. The first single off the album was "I'm Still Here", which had been added to the album during the delay period. All songs are sung and written by Matthew Scannell, in contrast to previous Vertical Horizon albums, where at least one song was written and sung by Keith Kane.

Background

The album's title reflects upon the "just go for it" mentality the group had during the recording sessions.[1] 16 songs were originally recorded for the album.[1] Go debuted at number 61 on the Billboard 200.[2] On June 28, 2005, Hybrid Recordings (a label under RCA Records parent BMG) re-released Go as Go 2.0.[3] The album features new cover artwork and a bonus track, "Better When You're Not There". The track list was also rearranged slightly, noted in the track listing below.

After the re-release, "Forever" and "When You Cry" were released as singles in 2005 and 2006 respectively; both charted in the Billboard Adult Top 40 charts ("Forever" at #18 and "When You Cry" at #35) and "Forever" also made the top 20 of the Billboard Hot AC chart, peaking at #17. "I'm Still Here" charted at #17 on the Adult Top 40 after its release when the original album came out in 2003.
