I'm struggling to think of a better description of this Great Lake Swimmers album than "pretty." I really don't mean this as the insult some will take it as, but there is nothing wrong with being this generations Dan Fogelberg, which is the first thing I think of when I listen to this band. Nice harmonized vocals, maybe a little too much mandolin, a laid back pace...it's very nice, pleasant music - impossible to imagine anyone actively disliking this. It's the musical equivalent of Canada, and it should probably come as no surprise that is where the band is from. All that said, it may not be the most memorable album either, easily forgotten just a few minutes after listening...kind of like Canada maybe.
