Keep It Together by Guster
Keep It Together is an album by Guster, released in 2003. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 37 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Amsterdam”, on 28 lists with a best position of #3.
Keep It Together, Guster's fourth studio album, landed on Reprise in June 2003, the Tufts-born band's follow-up to Lost and Gone Forever, the record that had pulled them out of the underground. It took its time: sessions stretched from 2001 into 2003 across Bearsville, New York City, Burbank and Shokan, and it went through working titles as goofy as Bitch Magic and Olympia Dukakis before settling down.
The big change is the drums. For the first time Brian Rosenworcel sits behind a full kit instead of slapping hand percussion, and the songs get a sturdier backbone for it. Joe Pisapia, who joined officially that year, sings on "Jesus on the Radio", Ben Kweller turns up on "I Hope Tomorrow Is Like Today", and "Red Oyster Cult" tips its hat to Blue Öyster Cult. "Amsterdam" and "Careful" both reached the Adult Top 40, and the record had sold 267,000 copies by late 2005.
