Pros: A more mature Guster album. Cons: The lyrics and music have changed slightly.
Hailing from the campus of Tufts University, Guster, formerly known as Gus in their college days, have produced music that has quickly brought them one of the sturdiest fan bases within the rock industry today. Guster is made up of Ryan Miller (vocals ...

Pros: A nearly perfect album dripping with clever hooks and great, biting lyrics Cons: All The Way Up To Heaven Yeesh!
Lost And Gone Forever is a brilliant album by the Boston Trio known as Guster that (If there were any justice in the music industry) should've put them in the Upper Echelon of rock music and yet even with a Major League Producer at the helm (Steve ...

Pros: Good songs, Fa Fa steals my heart, a variety of song styles Cons: Do you like falsetto singing...? Cuz if you don't...
I wasn't happy with just one opinion, and I've been meaning to get a review of Guster on here, but I haven't. So, forgive me GasJocket, but I'm writing two reviews.

Pros: Great sounding smaller band, good lyrics and music Cons: If you're not into the guys singing falsetto thing, it could be annoying
We went to the BareNaked Ladies concert kind of on a whim--neither of us were really fans, but we had a friend who went the last time they were in Salt Lake City, and loved the show, so we decided, "hey, let's go!"
So we did. Guster was the...

Pros: nice melodies, harmonies, drumming, very original, a breath of fresh air Cons: a couple of sub par tracks
Being from Boston, most of you may find it odd that I hadn't ever heard a song from Guster, a three piece band that has come across pretty good success in a musical climate of angry rap-rock acts and teenybopper pop acts, until a week ago. Don't...

Pros: an incredible album from start to finish Cons: nope
The new CD from Guster (Lost and Gone Forever) recently found it's way into my CD player and I was totally amazed by Guster's unique sound.
The unique sound of Guster is a rather strange combination of things. Following the lead of the...

Pros: Vocals and percussion Cons: No positive songs
The song Barrel of a Gun was the first single that I heard from this band out of Boston. Then Fa Fa was released and though it wasn’t quite as catchy, it’s chorus “you are always saying something, you swear you’d never say again” (the last...

Pros: variety on the tracks, catchy lyrics, the percussion work! Cons: I wish it was longer, it seems like just as you're really getting into it, the cd's done
I heard about Guster numerous times on a Dave Matthews Band message board that I frequently read, but I had never given them a chance. Earlier this summer, a friend of mine saw them in concert and came back with rave reviews. So I thought, why not? I...

Pros: Amazing percussion, NOT trendy! Cons: Messed with Goldfly's winning formula (but with success!!)
Although this is the first CD that I purchased by Guster, I had been exposed to the Massachusetts band by a lot of my friends. Let me tell you, this CD is NOT a disappointment. What you have to understand is that this CD doesn't just play like a...

Pros: Great lyrics, distinctive sound Cons: May sound boring and tame to some
I used to be an extremely hardcore Barenaked Ladies fan. Through other fans, I had heard of some crazy band called Guster, so one day I went on Napster and got a few songs, and LOVED what I heard. So I went out and bought "Lost and Gone Forever" (which...

Pros: Listen to this CD ANYWHERE possible and at any time. Has the ability to put you in a very pleasant state of mind.. Cons: Guster should be played more. I think more people would love them if they knew who they were..
"Lost and Gone Forever" Perhaps some of the best sounds on today's radio shows come from this album by Guster. One of the few albums out there that can be listened to from beginning to end with no changing of the songs. Naturally there are...

Pros: Several songs nearly urge you to sing along with their pop melodies Cons: middle tracks didn't stand out
"Lost and Gone Forever" is the third album by the three piece band from Somerville, MA, Guster.
If you missed their appearance on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" earlier in the year or have never heard a CD by them, I...

Pros: Beautiful music Cons: Poor television set...hasn't been on as much
I very rarely buy music cd's. I will hear a song on the radio and then after a very short period of time( and hearing it much too often)I still like it but couldn't care less if I hear it again. I was listening to the car stereo and I heard the DJ...

by IBC , Dec 21 '99
Pros: 3 fantastic new songs that remind you of the old Guster Cons: Many of the songs are good but un-remarkable
I know that I have been spoiled by Guster's first album Parachute. I know this. I know that I keep expecting them to put out an album that is comparable to that...and while I won't say that their second album Goldfly or Lost and Gone...

Pros: Great sound, well-written songs. Cons: Hard to think of anything
I have been listening to Guster for over 6 years, since the days when they were called Gus. No one will argue that their big strength is their live sound, and they are one of the hardest working bands on the road. "Parachute" sounded great,...
