Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars my first amazon purchase.......2006-08-09

The item arrived in Italy quickly. I found the delivery cost not to be so clear before confirming the order. Anyway, wasn't too expansive.
All in all I'm happy about my purchase.

3 out of 5 stars A typically mellow, harmless effort from this pair.......2005-06-18

The Rembrandts, even after they struck gold with that unforgettable theme song, were to me the musical equivalent of instant noodles: Decent fare, acceptable, likable, but nothing amazing, and you certainly don't want to be limited to it. LP only reinforced this belief. There is one clear standout track...I'll Be There For You...and 14 virtually interchangable light rock tracks.

Maybe if they put some more energy into their singing or worked on more creative or unusual lyrics, they would've stood out more. In all likelihood, they didn't even want to, and were more than grateful for the brief period of fame they had.

In any case, this is the type of album you shoudln't play without a purpose. At a party, meeting, or similar gathering, this makes fine background music. If you're relaxing in the tub or on the beach, this is the perfect accompaniment.

4 out of 5 stars They Sound Like The Beatles!!!.......2004-01-17

The music sounds great but I can't help to picture in my mind the faces of The Beatles when listening to their voices! Still pretty good production, laid back, mellow, Well arranged but above all... FRIEND-LY!

5 out of 5 stars An excellent guitar driven album.......2003-10-13

'LP' is the third album from The Rembrandts' and is undoubtedly their best known work, thanks to it's release at the height of Friends Mania in 1995. The album seems unfairly shunned by the casual lister as a collection of lacklustre companions to the pop hit 'I'll Be There For You' (the theme song from Friends) or scorned by Rembrandts fans for its association with the television show. In reality, however, it's simply a well written and beautifully performed guitar album with the TV single tacked on the end. Make no mistake; the end of 'LP' is the gorgeous 'The Other Side of Night'. The addition of 'I'll Be There For You' is simply there to pull the Friends crowd.

If you're looking for something a little subdued and introspective that swings between 'rockin good' and 'melancholic' effortlessly, then LP might be for you. The slower songs are the highlights, particularly 'End of the Beginning', 'Don't Hide Your Love', 'Drowning In Your Tears' and 'The Other Side of Night' but there's something for everyone with the faster, sometimes grungier tracks like 'This House is Not a Home', 'Lovin Me Insane' and the fantastic 'Easy to Forget'.

Ultimately the strength of LP is The 'Brandts ability to craft magnificent lyrics and weave them with great guitar and smooth harmonies. Compared to their other albums, LP has its roots more in commercial rock than traditional acoustic which may explain why a lot of the band's fans disliked it. It's still my personal favourite from the boys, the flow of the tracks is brilliant and overall the album has aged very well. LP is definitely one of my favourite albums and very worthy of anyone's time.

2 out of 5 stars Only Just For Friends.......2002-09-18

Since the 1990's, The Rembrandts were declared a novelty act in the industry. Surprisingly, the group was declared as a one-hit wonder, but what does the hit lead to? It just leads all the way down into a spiral.

The 1995 album, LP, consists of upbeat and strong apply-made titles, including This House Is Not A Home, and sadly, their only one hit, I'll Be There For You, from the mega-hit NBC series, Friends. Sadly, there were edged into the wall, only from the popularity of Friends. Nevertheless, they could still make a good song anyday.
