Editorial Reviews

The Rembrandts pretty much slipped off the pop radar after their fluke mid-'90s hit "I'll Be There for You," whose success (as the theme of a hit TV show nonetheless) pretty much guaranteed they'd be dismissed by hipsters. Judged without that baggage, though, Lost Together is a respectable, likable, even modest pop/rock record, better than those of many indies with cooler reputations. (And actually, this is on an indie label.) The melodies and harmonies are pleasing and not cliché. The songs are no great shakes as far as breaking new territory, but they're well-crafted evocations of the good and ambivalent times of personal maturation and romantic relationships. The production is no-nonsense, with some appealing acoustic guitar textures. It's not oomphed up for modern rock radio play as much as such material would be in the hands of large corporations. All this adds up to a triumph, given the low-key expectations for the endeavor. Atenzia. 2005. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thank The Almighty...It's Good!, March 28, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Lost Together (Audio CD)

After the previous release of Danny Wilde & The Rembrandts, I never expected to purchase another disc by them. With Phil Solem out of the picture, it seemed like the glory days were long behind.

So, imagine my surprise when I heard about The Rembrandts releasing 'Lost Together,' with the return of Phil Solem. I thought to myself, 'I dunno about this....could be good, but...!'

Well, I'm happy to say that I took a big leap of faith and it was well worth it. 'Lost Together' is a solid collection of songs from two great collaborators. Best album by the band since the first 2 releases, and sometimes threatens to be better than those, it's that good.

If you liked the band back in the day, they deserve another chance to win you over. Definitely a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Rembrandts are Back, November 1, 2001

After more than a five-year hiatus, Danny Wilde and Phil Solem have reunited in an album that outdoes their L.P. and matches both Untilted and The Rembrandts. "St. Paul," "Lost Together," "One of Us," and "Happiness" are amazingly vibrant and catchy melodies that deserve radio play. I'm eagerly awaiting the tour in 2002. If your only familiarity with The Rembrandts is from the overplayed Friends' theme song, here's your chance to experience Solem and Wilde at their best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Album of the Year, November 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Lost Together (Audio CD)

St. Paul and One Of Us are simply two of the year's best songs- with better hooks than almost anything you'll hear on the radio. But what makes the album such a success is the strong writing from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and check this out!
