5.0 out of 5 stars A definite must have, April 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Arlington to Boston (Audio CD)

Emmet's refreshing rock sound is unfortunately underappreciated. In my opinion, they are one of the best kept secrets in the music industry, providing both insightful lyrics and enthusiastic melodies. This album in particular is my favorite as it captures the group's many different sides with the upbeat "Arlington" to the reflective "Boston" A definite must have for any music lover. (Also, check out "Ear Plugs 50cents" if you wanna hear emmet's amazing live sound).

Emmet Swimming - Odd name for a band, but these guys were one of the best playing the East coast College circuit in the mid/late '90's (right up there with Dave Matthews and Hootie). Plus they were good guys. My buddy fogot his ticket to see Live play at the big rock club on the other side of town in '94, so we headed over to the hole-in-the-wall bar back near campus. We went in to see a decent band from a couple of towns over, and Emmet was opening up. There wasn't much of a crowd that night and Emmet was peddling the album "Wake" that they'd just cut on the VA indie "Screaming Goddess" label. We talked to Todd and the guys for half an hour once they finished their set. About 15 shows later (for me, probably 215 for them) they got signed to the big label, re-released "Wake" and later put "Arlington" out. "Arlington..." captured their live sound and is just a great tribute to a great '90's college pop band. Highly recommended. Especially poignant for those with divorced parents.

I have listened to these guys for 5 years, and every album gets better and better. I loved this album. I love all their music, and one day more and more people will enjoy their music as much as I did.
