Brilliant Woodkid's album tells a story of a young boy that is lost in a realm. It tells a story of a boy that grows from a scared child to a grown warrior and then eventually death. The music itself has deep meaning and makes you feel like a hero every time you listen to it. Woodkid certainly deserves a lot more credit for this fine masterpiece. A very well done album, a must buy.

Absolutely gorgeous When I first heard "iron" in the trailer for assassins creed revelations I knew this guy had talent. I immediately YouTube searched him and discovered he had a whole album which I then purchased and was not disappointed in the slightest. Bravo woodkid bravo

Nice. I found out about Woodkid from my gaming interest, when I watched the Dying Light trailer at E3 2013. I was turned onto the songs as I started listening more. Nicely done, Woodkid! I'd like to see more in the future, and (Techland) nice choice in song for the trailer!

Just Epic... I've stumbled upon this album by accident when I was looking for something new to listen. Now I hope that there will be more. This type of art is holy grail in the current musical era...

Great Like others, I found out about woodkid from gaming. I first heard him sing iron in the AC revelations trailer and I also heard his song the golden age in the AC unity trailer. I really do enjoy woodkid and I probably always will!

Jon Game

Unique This album sounds like no other. The mix of orchestra with tribal drums and the gruff, heavily accented voice make a unique combination. Go to their web page and you will see that this guy is also a hugely talented film-maker and the video for "Iron" is breathtaking. This is definitely my album of the year (or maybe even decade) so far.

Amazing Stuff! I heard Iron on the Assassin's Creed Revelations trailer and have been hooked onto your music ever since! It was amazing to finally hear your first album.

Tristan Stebbens August 10, 2014

Best songs. New style Searched up run boy from dying light trailer and listened to the rest of the songs and it's amazing. New style of music. Hope it becomes a new genre. This guy's music really sets him apart from the other

The Golden Age Absolutely brilliant. Songs to get you pumped, songs for relaxing, songs to lift your spirits and songs to make you cry. Emotionally charged first album, look forward to future releases from this talented Frenchman.

Martin Higgs August 6, 2013

Different. But in the best way possible. After following this artist down the rabbit hole from "Run boy run" in the Dying Light trailer I found I loved all of his works. Powerful music. Genius.

D'André Layne March 19, 2013

Golden Woodkid nails it again. After listening to this, you already start wishing he had another album coming tomorrow. He has his own sound, his own style, and this album really sets him apart from the rest. I can see Woodkid becoming his own genre in the future.

Parker Creech July 20, 2013

Great Like others, I found this through gaming, in the dying light trailer, and when I heard the music in that trailer, I realized that was the assassins creed revelations trailer music. This is great music and I hope to see more soon.

Joshua Chavarria March 19, 2013

Beautiful! This is one of the most unique albums I've listened to so far this year. Woodkid is full of talent and has made an album worth listening to from beginning to end. There should be more music like this.

James McCullick February 20, 2014

Amazing Once again, gaming interest brought me my initial sampling of Woodkid. And then I started keeping an ear out for more, and none of it disappointed me, not one bit. Like everyone else, I am eager for more new Woodkid.

Deni Zubin April 7, 2016

Speechless. In a good way. Woodkid is something Unique, Special. I bought The Golden Age and now I can't stop listening to it!

Jason Parker September 13, 2015

Incredible album I'm a bit late joining the Woodkid party but have now found my favourite musical artist. Music to stir your spirit and rouse your soul. Can we have more please Woodkid?

Chris Wilson March 31, 2014

Exceptional Grandiose, thematic, epic. Woodkid creates a soundscape like no other. There's a richness to his sound absent in the synth heavy music of today; it's reminiscent of days long passed and yet incredibly refreshing.

Beverly Schoeberl June 20, 2015

Oh My Gosh Well I was out watching AMV's as is my casual weekend and came across this song playing over a scene in Bleach. Couldn't really understand what he was saying given there was all the necessary anime scream-fighting but still found the beat amazing. After searching WOODKID up I listened to a few of his songs, just astounded by the pure beauty of his melodies and after closely listening to the lyrics (and looking up a few this guy is really hard to understand if you're not listening well) I fell in love.

Trevor Alexandre March 15, 2015

Fantastic Album It has been an absurdly long time since an album has grabbed me from start to finish. Just incredible music.

Than Hataitara November 27, 2013

Good game music's!! Like it cause has some music from games but some are terrible.

December 28, 2013

Great This guy surely knows what to do. He's an amazing artist and his music is capable of touching you very hard. I recommend to everyone.

Bryan Mudrow November 17, 2013

Good Music Great Artist, awesome songs, despite a poor downloading experience from "Google Play". These guys are Lyrical Lords and Melodic Genuine Geniuses...

Patrick Nyere March 19, 2013

"The Golden Age Free." It reads as free music 'b4 this- point' what do that mean? Confusion to me...

Chris Eelen February 11, 2014

Epic Not my genre by a long shot but it's soooo good! The epicness drips of it.

Bartman October 8, 2015

Worth it. I first heard Iron in an Assassin's Creed trailer and have been a fan of Woodkid's work ever since. Been waiting to get this album since it was in the making.

Jakob Vela December 21, 2014

Really nice I like both slow and fast parts and I found this song from the assassin's creed unity trailer XD

Fermin Espino April 23, 2014

Beautiful work I love this album as well as the EP's.. Truly an recommended artist if you haven't heard of woodkid yet.. C:

ernest valdez March 21, 2014

Good song I think he has alot of talent and should be widely known cause he's music is better then a lot of music that is out and has better meaning to it

Jackson Hardin March 26, 2013

Excellent! Makes you feel like your own hero and I wish he had a new album every week!

Shane Moon May 8, 2013

PERFECTION Just love all the songs especially conquest of spaces, golden age, ghost lights, stabat mater, iron (which was on his ep first), and well, all the rest too! Go woodkid!

Junior Vitally October 20, 2013

Ghost lights Best song. Addicted.

taylor prds May 4, 2013

Five stars for a reason! Iron is my favorite song on this album. His voice is so unique and hypnotic, and the music videos he ,makes are astoundingly beautiful.

April 19, 2013

Amazingly Massive Orchestration This album is amazing. His videos for his songs, which he directs are amazing. This review is amazing. But seriously best album this year so far. Amazing.

Chryssi H. January 12, 2015
