5.0 out of 5 stars Guster Rules!, August 21, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Parachute (Audio CD)

The CD "Parachute" from Guster, is, in my opinion, probably their best overall album. It also happens to be their first major label release. It definitely has a different feel than "Goldfly", or "Lost and Gone Forever", it seems much more mellowed out. Their later efforts at albums were much more upbeat and pop, this album is not quite as Sugar coated. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love their other CDs also, but they are just different. I think the songs on "Parachute" need a few listens to get used to, but once you hear them a few times they really grow on you. If you are new to Guster I would suggest "Lost and Gone Forever", but if you already own that and want more, this CD is a good look at what Guster was like early on.

5.0 out of 5 stars I would recommend Guster to anyone., July 13, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Parachute (Audio CD)

Guster is a band which most people can enjoy. It is upbeat, it is lively, and you can sit and listen to it. Their CD "Parachute," is a great mix of their earlier work, which is different from their future works that are considered by many to be better. Guster's second studio album "Goldfly," is a great mix of favorites among the fans. Although both of the albums above contain very good songs (because there is, ofcourse, no bad Guster song), the best album to start off with if you are just getting into Guster would be "Lost and Gone Forever," which contains in my opinion the most popular and the most catchy of their tunes. To close, if you are thinking of buying "Parachute," and are just getting into Guster, forget about it. Buy "Lost and Gone Forever," and move down in the album release chain.

This is a magnificent album, especially for a group of 19 year-olds. It took a while for Parachute to grow on me, but once it did, it was in my cd player for a month straight. While Guster's more recent albums are more polished (and better I think), Parachutes is definitely worth buying. Disregard the foolish advice from: hammer7999eric and buy this album. But buy it from guster.com. It only costs $10, and you're directly supporting the band!
