‘Many of these tunes have a defiant edge that brings vintage Springsteen or Petty to mind, underscored by the lyrics’ Everyman stance and the music’s guitar-fueled momentum… All told, Polarized deserves to win this scrappy tunesmith a wider audience among music devotees.’ – Itunes official review ‘Melodic, honest music that’s not leaving anything behind… there is blood on this record.One thing I love about this record the more I listen to it… is the fact that it’s polished to the point of quality but still raw to the point of emotional integrity’ – ScreamingGoose.com review ‘Dowler’s music offers raw vocals with an urgent passion, mixed with poignant lyrics about world affairs, relationships and deep personal faith. That description also fits Bob Marley fairly well, but the number of musicians in that circle is quite limited. Now, you can add Luke Dowler to that short list.’ – RarasFarm.com Review ‘…a voice reminiscent of many of the greats in the industry, yet still his own….’ – IAMTUNEDUP.com ‘If you’re idea of music is girls and techno beats, this album is not for you.’ – Anonomous Luke Dowler has come out with a great new CD in the rock vein. The young man, who has film and online music credits, possesses an expressive voice, and uses it well here. - Lively Times Overall: Luke Dowler has crafted a brilliant assortment of songs on Polarized. The lyrics are really well-written and thought provoking, and the instrumentation compliments them on each song. Dowler’s voice, though similar to other artists, is actually unique for the type of music he is making. The sound he creates just has a cool rustic feeling to it from the vocals to the themes. This album is an impressive offering from Luke Dowler, and I encourage fans of folk, rock, and CCM to give it a listen. -Indie Vision Music
