Negative Positive
Title: come strong or don't come at all...
Review: Keep It Together is well worth the three and a half year (!) wait. the album is, i don't know, richer than Guster's previous albums. but the sound is still distinctively Guster. which is a very good thing. "Amsterdam" is catchy as all hell. and "Come Downstairs and Say Hello" is highly melodic. i think this trio have really expanded their musicality...also, a highlight is the inclusion of "I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today" a track co-written with/featuring Ben Kweller. the verses are different than the live version, but it remains an amazing song.this is a record you can listen to all the way through and not be bored. KIT is, no doubt, fun to listen to--but it has substance to boot. lyrically wry, musically infectious--all in all, a top-notch album.
