One of the best WP ever? This thing straight out jams. This album is the real deal. . mercy, imitation leather shoes, good god it's just too much to miss. It's chill bumps every other moment. It almost overloads the senses. I bought the thing three years ago and still can't get enough. It's still one of my favorites. Gotta get back and see these guys in concert again at the end of the month. .
Widespread Rules!!
P. I recently crushed my foot(broken in several places) and have been recooperating with the help of W. Although I have been heavily medicated most of the time this is still some of the greatest music I have ever heard. I've been a Widespread fan for a while, but until recently I have only owned 3 of their CD's. In the last month I've purchased every CD they have. They just get better and better. I can't wait til I break something else!.
Incredible
If you like listening to talented musicians instead of three chord songs you hear on the radio, it's worth giving Widespread Panic a shot. This band is incredible and this cd highlights all of their talents. To respond to some of the previous comments; first, "it all sounds the same" is what people say who don't listen to that genre of music. How many people say all rap songs or all country songs "sound the same?" They don't, and neither to Panic's. Second, I'm not really sure what y'all enjoy but just because Panic is too much for y'all to handle there is really no reason to disparage them. In summary, there are no other bands that can improvise, transition, and just simply amaze like Panic. .
You don't need drugs to enjoy this
This band's output is full of talented musicianship that can be enjoyed by humans of all ages. All the previous comments about stoners and "beer hippies" are weak. Being stoned or drunk maybe gives you a temporary focus on it, but get real--you'll enjoy even more if you just crank it up and let the vibes flow. Screw drugs and right-wing "holier-than-thou" idiots, just enjoy the music and don't get preachy. This band is easy on the ears and doesn't force ANYTHING on you.
If You're Clean and Sober, Don't Buy This Album
It helps if your stoned or drunk. I'll agree with the other posters that this a chemically enhanced CD. But, since I listen to music and go to bars, I really don't drink coffee at those bars, and this music suits me.
This is a great band and wonderful genre that is special into itself. It is hard to pin down, and thats why I like it. Its garage band, its guitar jam music, its alternative rock. Its noise.
Whatever it is, if you feel so inclined, pop a beer or two and enjoy the music. Its not Bach. The lyrics aren't meaningful. But the music sure is fun.
