Análisis (en inglés) - :
The reason why {$Guster} have been able to sell records all these years is because they continue to sell out shows. Since their 1992 inception, {$Guster} have maintained a loyal following, and by the time their fourth record, {^Keep It Together}, was released in summer 2003, the band's live setting was still gaining momentum. {^Guster on Ice: Live From Portland Maine} captures their undeniable playfulness and everlasting spirit. This CD/DVD set is {$Guster}'s first ever live album and it's a crispy clear arrangement. There once were three -- {$Ryan Miller}, {$Adam Gardner}, and {$Brian Rosenworcel} -- and now there are four. Fans should be used to multi-instrumentalist {$Joe Pisapia}'s place among the {$Guster} gang by now. His work on banjo, bass, and keyboards fleshes out {$Guster}'s usual sound of earnest harmonies, acoustic guitars, and their signature bum rush of percussion, especially in a live setting. Fan favorites such as {&"Barrel of a Gun,"} {&"Happier,"} and {&"Fa Fa"} are included here as well as the band's cover of {$Talking Heads}' {&"(Nothing But) Flowers."} That set list alone is soaked in {$Guster} goodness, for their energy never stops. {&"Amsterdam,"} the band's radio hit from {^Keep It Together}, is proof that honest songwriting and the love of performing for an audience has to be real. {$Guster} never let up on their intoxicating groove of {\rock & roll}. Even the more moody tracks such as the classic acoustic guitar storm, and in this case electric thunder, {&"Airport Song"} and the near seven-minute somber build up of {&"Come Downstairs and Say Hello"} are equally full of feeling. As much as they are funny and endearing, {$Guster}'s rare sensitivity allows their work to come full circle. {^Guster on Ice: Live From Portland} gives fans the chance to celebrate that. The DVD alone is worthy of applause. Extra live cuts such as {&"What You Wish"} and the {$Pisapia}-penned track {&"Jesus on the Radio"} are nicely woven in during the concert portion. Videos for {&"Careful"} and {&"Amsterdam"} and special behind-the-scenes snippets exhibit how accessible {$Guster} are. You'll want to bring them home to Mom. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
