Amazing Band! Amazingly bad album! Jun 04, 2009 This album is pretty terrible. I really tried to like. 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 May 14, 2009 When I first heard this album I didn't think it was that good. Then, two years later I listened again and I loved it. 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!!!!!! Apr 28, 2009 This is another great studio album of the Dave Matthews Band. It contains 14 great songs. 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 Mar 16, 2009 I have been a fan of DMB since 1994 when I first saw the 'What Would You Say' video on VH1. 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 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)

This is one I came to late, but worth the wait Oct 27, 2008 And all things do come in the right time. I've always loved Matthews' smoky voice with the smooth blend of sax and drum rhythms behind.
"Stand Up" is an odd mix of political statement and romance. I think I'd be happier if they'd pick a theme here and stick to it. We've got two very distinct ideas here between romance and politics.
"Stolen Away on 55th and 3rd" is seeing an old love again.
"Steady as We Go" is an anthem for love--and life in general. Times may get rough but the good times are the 'gold.'
Of course, there's "Dreamgirl," too and "American Baby."
"Smooth Rider" talks about a guy getting in trouble with an angry father.
"Everybody Wake Up" is a call to action to open your eyes and 'see the man with the bomb in his hand.'
Good music, but for me it will need a remix to separate the two themes.
