I have loved EVERYTHING dmb has done until now. i own every song the band has ever recorded. after listening to everyday, i have 12 songs too many! i do not have enough room here to adequately explain the sick feeling this album gave me. this effort is simply dave matthews with some back up musicians. gone is the meticulous interaction that was the magic of dmb. this album sounds like some bad electronic music from 1982, i have never heard anything so over-produced in my life. i never thought i would say this, but i will never buy a dmb album without hearing it first again. the illusion that i had of this band being more interested in the quality of their music than their commercial success has proven to be just that, an illusion.
