Maybe they should give up singing and open up a store.

I really like this album - relaxing, nice harmonies, and there's a song - I'd Rather Dance With You - that makes me dance every time.

If I had to guess what they'd sound like from looking at the album cover, this song is exactly what I'd come up with.

I probably would have thought it was deep & contemplative, back when my dorm room looked like the album cover (scruffier-looking carpet & girls, but otherwise pretty close.)

Make that a rainy Sunday (in a good way). I'd also recommend some Red House Painters for when things get a bit drizzly.

This is so similar to Simon & Garfunkel, it's not even funny. Is this what they were attempting?

Very early Simon & Garfunkel. Pleasant enough.

Not everything on the CD is this laid back, some has a samba-ish beat to it and other lively rhythms as well.
I picked this one up as well as Quiet Is The New Loud (thanks to RP airplay) and recommend them both.

A change of pace is wonderful, throughout a playlist. However, a switch to a thin gruel form of music is more than a change of pace, it's near death!

I guess you don't see that as a good thing. Little too close?
