Dave Matthews Band - Stand Up Audio CD

A fair review of the Dave Matthews Band "Stand Up" Audio CD. Please note that the below review is the views of the authors, and authors only. You can get a complete list of all Dave Matthews Band reviews here, or go back to the Dave Matthews Band tabs.

Band: Dave Matthews Band Title: Stand Up Rating: Release Date: 2005-05-10 Media: Audio CD Tracks: 1: Dreamgirl 2: Old Dirt Hill (Bring That Beat Back) 3: Stand Up (For It) 4: American Baby Intro 5: American Baby 6: Smooth Rider 7: Everybody Wake Up (Our Finest Hour Arrives) 8: Out Of My Hands 9: Hello Again 10: Louisiana Bayou 11: Stolen Away On 55th & 3rd 12: You Might Die Trying 13: Steady As We Go 14: Hunger For The Great Light

A Good Album (I Think)
It is an effort. Stand Up is not likely to wow anyone with it's music or it's lyrics. What I mean is, the band was really trying here I think to make something accesible to the masses, yet appeal to the audience they cultivated over the course of the their first studio releases. For me this album sounds like bubble gum pop. Good bubble gum though.

There isn't much I can say for this work. Really none of it is my taste. But I love DMB and wanted to review the cd. Let me suggest this. If you are going to listen to the album, start with Stolen Away on 55th & 3, then go to Louisiana Bayou and then Steady As We Go. After each other song that you listen too try mixing in one of these 3 I just listed.

You might find it easier to get through the album this way. It is worth giving a shot. Dream Girl may be the best song. But it's better live. Much less pop. .

Amazing Band! Amazingly bad album!
I really tried to like. This album is pretty terrible. i really did. but it's full of pop songs that don't go together and have no soul to them. This album is definitely not worth picking up.

A review of the music
Then, two years later I listened again and I loved it. When I first heard this album I didn't think it was that good. It's funny how you can dislike something if you're in the wrong mood for it. It's different for sure, and I'm sure that turned off many a DMB fan, but most of the songs are very good.

However, where DMB scores one in the music category, they continue to let themselves be whores to their record label. The whole "enhanced" cd thing is lame, and I completely understand someone giving this album one star because of that. When is their record contract up? Whenever it is, I certainly hope DMB goes the route of Nine Inch Nails and ditches their label. There was also the whole fiasco with Lillywhite Sessions/Busted Stuff/Everyday. Such a shame the forces of evil have so much power in the recording industry. .

An Outstanding Studio Album by the Dave Matthews Band!!!!!!
It contains 14 great songs. This is another great studio album of the Dave Matthews Band. Some highlights include: "Dream Girl", "Old Dirt Road", "Stand Up", "American Baby", "Louisiana Bayou" (Now this one I really love - It's performed "live" in the dvd DMB at Piedmont Park), and "Hunger for the Great Light". This is some great music, and I recommend it. Thanks!!!!.

bad bad bad
To date, I have all of the studio albums and a couple of live albums and can only recall skipping one track (PROUDEST MONKEY-not a fan). I have been a fan of DMB since 1994 when I first saw the 'What Would You Say' video on VH1. I can tell you that this album has maybe 4 good songs on it, the rest I skip. Getting 50 Cent's producer to show them how to loop was a HUGE mistake. I hope to hear good stuff coming out in 2009 (my hopes is there is a studio version of Corn Bread-it was my favorite on the Radio City Music CD with Tim Reynolds) .
