4 out of 5 stars Go Swimming With Emmet.......2002-07-13

"Wake" is a catchy, infectous modern rock pop album from this suburban Washington D.C. (Virginia) band. The thirteen songs glide by effortslessly, piling on one decent hook after another. This is pop rock at its best, never to tart, never too deep, concerned (mostly) with relationships both successful and failed. The highlights include the rocking opening cut "Jump Into the Water," the mournfully poetic "Broken Oar," the superb, seductive ballad "You're So Pretty," and the failed relationship cut, "Ed's Song." There is not a bad track in the mix, though several in the second half are filler material.

Overall, a sweet modern rock pop gem that deserves a wider audience.

This cd is great! I always love listening to the somewhat early stuff from es! The band is even better live and I miss them so much since they have stopped touring. Anyone who gives this cd 5 to 10 minutes will love it!

1 out of 5 stars Sorry to burst your bubble.......2001-09-21

I tried hard to really like these guys, being from the East Coast and all, and Emmet being local. Maybe they are better live, but frontman Todd Watts has a very weak voice and no memorable songs leap out at you. After all, if they were good, they'd at least be at the popularity level of a Train or even a Sister Hazel. Unfortunately, they should be called Emmet Drowning.

5 out of 5 stars BEST KEPT SECRET IN AMERICA.......2001-05-26

EMMET SWIMMING IS THE BEST KEPT SECRET IN AMERICA. IF YOU ARE FROM THE EAST COAST YOU MAY HAVE HEARD OF EMMET SWIMMING, BUT IF YOU HAVE NOT THEN BUY THIS CD NOW! IT IS NOT MAIN STREAM MUSIC, SO IT WILL HAVE TO GROW ON YOU, BUT TRUST ME, IT WILL SOON BE A FAVORITE. TODD WATTS GIVES THE MUSIC LIFE WITH HIS VOICE. YOU CAN FEEL THE EMOTION, THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS SUPPOST TO BE. I FIRST HEARD THIS CD IN NORFOLK, VIRGINIA. THEN I SAW THEM LIVE AT THE BAYOU IN NORFOLK. THAT SHOW IN MAY OF 1995 WAS THE BEST SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN! THEY DID THREE SETS AND PLAYED EVERY SONG FROM WAKE AND THEIR FIRST ALBUM DARK WHEN THE SNOW FALLS. THEY ARE A MUST SEE LIVE. I SUGGEST TAKING A TRIP JUST TO SEE THEM PLAY. EMMET SWIMMING MAY NEVER BE A SUPERBAND LIKE PEARL JAM, BUT MOST PEOPLE ARE DUMB AND EMMET SWIMMING IS NOT FOR DUMB PEOPLE. JOIN IN ON THE SECRET AND OPEN A BOTTLE OF BOONES FARM WINE.
