This CD is a great sing-along from start to finish. The melodies are memorable and the harmonies are lovely. I bought "LP" and was disappointed - I keep coming back to this one, and I've never found a bad track.

This is definitely pop with a capital P. I'm not a fan of pop - but The Rembrandts have something. It's melodic without being pompuous. Simple without being ridiculous. Nice'n'beautiful without being anonymous.

The hit single and opener »Just The Way It Is, Baby« (yes, the one where the duet walks on a beach playing the guitar in the music video) remains the best song of the album. But none of the tracks are bad. Other highlights on this much-over-average light entertainment pop album include »Save Me«, »Someone«, »New King«, »If Not For Misery«, »Confidential Information« and especially »Burning Timber«. As you can see, they're all pretty alright!

If you need to buy ONE pop album, »The Rembrandts« is the one!

One of my favorite songs of all time, "Just The Way It Is, Baby" is in itself, reason enough to buy this album. "Show Me Your Love" is also worthy. These guys write and record all their own songs - and they can actually SING unlike many artists these days!! I heard a rumor that a BEST of album is coming out.. I hope that's true, because I'll be first in line to buy it!!

The Rembrandts self titled debut remains one of the best ever. recorded in guitarist Danny Wildes garage the album remainded as recorded by record execs. What this album is, is a pop gem 13 songs of giutar driven pop. Each of the songs has a distinct flavour, and sets the ideas and themes that were to be evident in all of the Rembrandts works, that of love lost and found. this album is soo good frankly its better to buy it than listen to me talk about how good it is so treat yourself to this you wont be let down.

i agree with christopher...the friends song completely messed up the good thing that the rembrandts had going. this cd has songs on here that mean a lot to me and the lyrics are very heartfelt. tie those in with beautiful music and you've got yourselves a 5 star cd.

"layers," as donkey said in Shrek, is what it's all about. I think the so called music fan is wrong. Your entitled to your (opinion)onion but I'll stick with mine! This album is one of the best ever produced in any music gentre.

And as far as the teenage consumer force goes, only sappy ones who subsist on applesauce, baby food, and smoothies can enjoy this. My MOTHER asked me to turn this off because it was boring. Sure it's radio-friendly. Play it for someone with a heart condition or otherwise cannot get excited for risk of overstimulation/death. This is commercially accoustic Spam music, touching base with all the proven themes, polished to the point of nausea-induction. And give your albums some titles, for goodness' sakes. Are you artists or not? It's annoying how many better bands (even of this type) are out there and not half as famous as these guys. Maybe what we need is more citcoms...so they can all do sappy theme songs.

I ORDERD AN ALBUM AND ONLY GOT 2 SONGS. OR SHOULD I SAY 1 SONG AND 1 MEDLEY OF THE REST. BITS AND PIECES OF SONGS. I WAS VERY UPSET. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU BUY AND WHERE IT COMES FROM.
