Busted Stuff by Dave Matthews Band

Pros: All the classic DMB elements. Possibly their greatest CD yet.
Cons: Those looking for another "Ants Marching" or "So Much To Say" may be disappointed.

As unbelievable as this may sound, I've never been to a Dave Matthews Band concert. I know almost nothing about the live albums they have put out (except for Could I have been your little sister). Busted Stuff was all new to me. What a...

Pros: The DMB we know and love is back, acoustic guitars, solos and all...
Cons: Depressing, lethargic, obsessed with death. These songs shouldn't all be on the same album.

I’ve determined that I’m not worthy to be called a true Dave Matthews fan. His band’s new album, Busted Stuff, sounds much like a broken record to me. I guess the fact that I liked a lot of the non-acoustic ...

Pros: A Gorgeous Album from the Dave Matthews Band.
Cons: None.

For nearly ten years, the Dave Matthews band had established themselves as one of the most premiere live rock bands with their vibrant jam-style music that has seduced millions of jam-rock lovers. While they are known for their live shows, the...

Pros: Great songs, fantastic musicianship, and THE RETURN OF THE BAND (woohoo!)
Cons: People are likely to get peeved over lyric changes and the absence of certain songs

By now, chances are you've heard the story of "The Lillywhite Sessions" so many times that you'll likely vomit if you hear it again. Well, being someone who doesn't really care all that much about the well-being of your gag reflex, here's the Nutshell...

Pros: every single song, no joke
Cons: none

I've never been a huge Dave Matthews Band fan. I loved the first album, liked the second, hated the third, went to see em live for a good time back in 99, and then came Everyday. No song has captured my spirit the way The Space...

Pros: Some Fantastic, Deep Tunes
Cons: No Sweet Up And Down? Grrrrrr...

My faith was slightly shaken in the Dave Matthews Band when they released Everyday some time ago; it sounded as if the band was trying to branch off into pop territory. With short, verse-chorus-verse arrangements that were radio-friendly and...

Pros: Dave's introspective lyrics encourage and challenge; the band is amazing, as always.
Cons: Seems ever-so-slightly rushed.

They say that, when something truly great comes along, it blows all of it's competition out of the water. If that's the case, then most of the music that has been released so far this decade is officially "beached," thanks to Busted Stuff, the latest...

Pros: Great CD. Great Songs.
Cons: Lillywhite Sessions ruined the surprise a little bit...

Another great Dave Matthews Band CD, Busted Stuff truly emphasizes DMB's musical talent. A mixture of various musical sounds (and a little bit of their own), Dave and Co. have turned back to their conventional sounds after exploring a little bit ...

Pros: A revival of Lillywhite and brings back to life old Dave Matthews Band
Cons: Still contains some of the pop from everyday

A highly anticipated new CD by the Dave Matthews Band, Busted Stuff, was the next studio release after the disappointment of Everyday to fans. People felt that the CD Everyday was not the Dave Matthews Band, but an album by...

Pros: Good songs, despite their mistreatment.
Cons: Over-produced snow job that insults the original.

For the record, I want to start by stating that I am not a die-hard Dave Matthews Band fanatic, and so my comments do not come from that place. I do not unconditionally love everything that Matthews and company do, but I have much respect and admiration ...

Pros: It's Dave, every song is enjoyable
Cons: none

Last summer Dave released "Everyday"...and I was disappointed with its poppy sound that lacked the heart and soul Dave usually thrust into every song. I heard a rumor about an unreleased album scrapped by Dave entitled by fans "The Lilywhite Sessions",...

Pros: dmb returns to old form
Cons: if you've heard lws then this make take some getting used to

After their last release Everyday some people might have thought that the Dave Matthews Band had sold out. Most hardcore dmb fans weren't to pleased with the new sound. However just a short while after it's release a certain lillywhite sessions leaked....

Pros: It's DMB - c'mon!!!!! They are awesome
Cons: A few slow songs, but that is DMB's style

I know every other review goes through the songs song by song, but I am going to do it also, because I love every one of them...

Busted Stuff-This song opens the album with a nice tone. It's a more laid back sound than the opener of Everyday...

Pros: Return to Roots, Dave at his most bare and true
Cons: Depressing and not all people are into that

NOTE: 3 years of passed and I returned to update my DMB reviews. As time has passed, this albums has stuck with me the most. Busted Stuff is the one album that I continually love and listen to. I will update the ratings, but keep past scores just to see ...

Pros: Finished versions of the Lillywhite Sessions
Cons: Some songs too short, lost it's darker and deeper side

Well, my personal wait was finally over. One of my favorite CD's was going to be redone, new jams, new vibe, and new style. Well my Captain be just how I liked it? Will my Grace is Gone that same song I listened to after my girl dumped me?...
