5.0 out of 5 stars The Second Album, and of course one of their best!, November 4, 1999

By	Nasrollah Sekandari (Blacksburg, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews

Wow, I feel in love with this band, because of this album. I think it is the perfect album to start with if you want to get to know how these guys sound has evolved during the years. It is a great album, and as a fan of 5 years and counting, i hope that one day many people will experience the great sound that these guys produce album after album. Just answer this, name another band that has had four great albums in a row? In this age of one hit wonders, it is great to see a band that never quits, and just gets better with age, like wine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Go Swimming With Emmet, July 13, 2002

By	Brian D. Rubendall (Oakton, VA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

"Wake" is a catchy, infectous modern rock pop album from this suburban Washington D.C. (Virginia) band. The thirteen songs glide by effortslessly, piling on one decent hook after another. This is pop rock at its best, never to tart, never too deep, concerned (mostly) with relationships both successful and failed. The highlights include the rocking opening cut "Jump Into the Water," the mournfully poetic "Broken Oar," the superb, seductive ballad "You're So Pretty," and the failed relationship cut, "Ed's Song." There is not a bad track in the mix, though several in the second half are filler material.

Overall, a sweet modern rock pop gem that deserves a wider audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wake - emmet swimming, January 6, 2002

By	Sarah Lagasse (Fredericksburg, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This cd is great! I always love listening to the somewhat early stuff from es! The band is even better live and I miss them so much since they have stopped touring. Anyone who gives this cd 5 to 10 minutes will love it!
