I have been lost in Amsterdam a number of times. I thoroughly reccomend it.

Great tune! I thought this was The Shins at first...especially in the chorus part.

Not my favorite Guster tune, but man, they really do have a talent with a hook! I have been a big fan since seeing them live - I was one of the few there that didn't know every word of every song and felt like singing along. . .but it was great anyway - talented guys.

Good Lord this band sucks. Did they do the Friends theme song? Just awful. I've heard this sound a million times before and it never has been any good.

So I'm not a hipster. I don't frown upon everything that may be "mainstream". I DO like some poppy, bouncy music that doesn't necessarily have an important message. And you know what? I'm FINE with that.
Case in point, I really like this song. Its damn catchy, and just begs to be sung along to in the car driving down the highway. Is it going to change the world? No. Are they doing anything musically that hasn't been done before? Nope. But I don't care.
Amen, ChicagoEmily. Every song recorded doesn't have to be breaking new musical ground. Sometimes pleasant to listen to is enough. Either you like it or you don't. There's nothing wrong either way you react to it. |

After buying the CD I found that I like them more and more. There is content to the lyrics, which suggests their music is more than 'pop', at least IMHO.

My favorite Guster song. Just appreciate the tone of the lyrics and the poppiness they are delivered with.
...are you getting somewhere,
or did you get lost in Amsterdam.

I'm not particularly crazy about this song upon first hearing, but I do have to give them props for the Nena reference.

Didn't we just hear this yesterday? It's OK, but not that great. 6.
Though, the drugs notwithstanding, it is damn difficult not to be lost in Amsterdamn |

I like this because it reminds me of my favourite city every time I hear it.
Good video of Amsterdam (the city) here:

PS #1- I have been to Amsterdam three times. Great city! Thankfully didn't lose anything there...
PS #2- My favorite "Amsterdam" song is Coldplay's

Can't we find artists that have something to say? That have stories to tell?
So well put, I can't begin to do anything but vehemently agree! :puke |
