This album is by the record label, not the artist First of all, the cover makes me want to throw up in my mouth. I've been a DMB fan since before they were popular, and this is the album that I refused to let people play on my stereo in college. Some of the songs are alright, but the whole album has a feel that leaves a bad taste in my mouth (again my vomit) DMB wanted to put out Lillywhite Sessions, but it was too "real" and "good. " So they forced the band to record an entire new album of dull, watered down crap that turned into this album. Luckily, the forces of evil were thwarted and more people downloaded Lillywhite than bought this album. .
Disappointing
Most of their tracks are not so catchy, its amazing to know a band that'll come up with a track as good as "Satellite & Space between" wouldnt have much more nice tracks.
Just Simply Great Music
Though I don't believe it showcases the DMB in the manner of which I prefer, I can still judge the quality fairly. Everyday is a great record. Truth is, this album rocks from start to end.
The Space Between is the song that got me into DMB and the descriptions of a disfunctual relationship that survives because of a focus on the few good moments is real life. When The World Ends is a stunning song about a couple in love at the end of times and all the things they're doing until and while the world is in dissaray. (Side Note: I think Two Step is better though, it's far more powerful and also about a couple in love to the end of the world)
So Right, Fool To Think and Dreams Of Our Fathers help the album to stay strong to to finish.
Now for the only down side to this release. It can become quite repetitive at times and if you listen closely you can almost tell where the directors or who ever told them "Okay we got what need, we'll loop this"
This is still a great album though.
my favorite Dave Matthews album
Dave's voice annoys me after a little while. I've never been a huge fan. I do think this is my favorite album by them. Many fans don't seem to like it but I can't understand why. Angel is my favorite track on here. This album got me into their other work which I had previously written off. .
Throw it away
It's a shame that the Band doesn't even realize it and they shove the songs down your throat when you go see them live. I've been a fan of the Band since '95, and I honestly tried listening to this album, but it just sucks too much.
