    People don't realize how different Guster's CD are from each other. Parachute, while a good debut, showed them struggeling to secure a signature sound. Goldfly tweaked the errors, but resulted in an extremely dark sound. Lost and Gone Forever was the attempted "sellout" CD with the clean pop sound. Keep it Together shows the band evolving into magnificent song writers who People don't realize how different Guster's CD are from each other.

Lost and Gone Forever was the attempted "sellout" CD with the clean pop sound. Keep it Together shows the band evolving into magnificent song writers who don't need the signature bongos in the background to obtain a unique sound. While Lost and Gone Forever might be viewed as more memorable, Keep it Together is the better CD.… Collapse

    Every song on this CD has a different feel to it, and Guster's singers always succeed in lifting my spirits

    Very good CD. Guster produces yet another masterpiece, quite possibly even better than their previous albums.

    Harmless and happy, with an underbelly of serious sadness, Keep it Together dares to be average, and comes out sounding and feeling pretty decent.

    There's nothing here that sticks to the ribs very long. [#17, p.136]

    The thing that really bothers me the most about this album is how conventional it sounds.
