Claude says:Guster's 1999 debut caught that late-90s moment when acoustic-driven alternative rock could be both clever and genuinely moving—the record's got this earnest, unguarded quality that the band would spend the rest of their career refining. You found your way to it years later, and "Two Points for Honesty" became the one you kept spinning, the kind of hook-laden indie-pop song that reveals something new each time.
