Disco de Guster: “Parachute”

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!

I love all types of music, but Guster seems to be in a category all of their own. You simply cannot label their music or put it in a category. Their originality, lyrics, vocals and percussions separate them from so many other bands. Every song on the album is distinctive and has a different meaning. Songs like "Coccon," "Scars and Stictches," and "Mona Lisa" have so much meaning to me. Guster is one of those rare bands that seem to speak to you through their music. Although I LOVE Goldfly and Lost and Gone Forever, their debut album is simply the best. I will treasure it always.

This is my fav guster cd by far. The newer stuff jsut doesn't have the raw energy this album does. Two acoustic guitars, bongo drums, and no messin around.

Wow, if you ever are going to call yourself a music lover you must first call yourself a Guster fan. I just found out about this group (three guys from Boston, MA who met @ Tufts University) this year, and already I cannot imagine life without them. Though Parachute is but their first album, and as all 1st's are its not their greatest, (it's kinda like losing your virginity, a 1st album that is, the other 2 are just highly evolved masterpieces) it's still a must to have. Don't tell anyone, but Guster has replaced the spot for me that once only Dave Matthews could fill. So, take this advice and buy this cd (or tape if you must, maybe both!), try to be the first of your friends to have it! Guster is something the whole family will enjoy so go ahead, spend the meager bit o' dough and enrich your life today w/ Guster :).
