Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community Aug 9, 2002
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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

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

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

Pros: A refreshing CD full of actual music!, Dave is just about at his best
Cons: Songs not exactly uplifting, not a great CD for a beginning Dave fan
Summary: Maybe I biased, well I am actually. I love Dave Matthews; I've followed his music since a friend of mine first gave me Live at Red Rocks to listen to and quite frankly I don't think there is a single artist out there who can touch him.

Pros: interesting topics, some excellent songs
Cons: gets boring at times
Summary: When I reviewed the DMB album "Crash", I was a little bit mean to Dave Matthews. A friend of mine read that review and has recently insisted that I give the man and the band a second chance. So here I am, reviewing the recent "Busted Stuff".

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

Cons: None.
Summary:
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 ... read more

Pros: It's the SONGS, man. Raven, Grey Street, Bartender, You Never Know.
Cons: Lyrical version of Kit Kat jam is better. Left out Monkey Man.
Summary: This is what Everyday should have been. Dave has been playing most of these songs on the road for years now and DMB fans have heard them live as well as on the bootlegs of the Lillywhite songs, but hearing them refined and clear on a studio CD is always ... read more

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

Pros: Its still DMB style
Cons: Missing some songs that were expected and some were changed from the original
Summary: It's too bad that the politics of recording this and the Lillywhite album got in the way. Between the two, this could have been one incredible album. I have to applaud DMB though for rerecording the songs; that just shows you how hardcore these guys are. ... read more

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

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.
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: It's Dave, every song is enjoyable
Cons: none
Summary: 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", ... read more

Pros: Very clean sound, a large step above their last album.
Cons: Drags a bit
Summary: This cd is definitely worth buying. The band demonstrates again their talent as musicians. There are several great songs, like Bartender and Grace is Gone, and several that are ho-hum at best, like Gray Street and Where Are You Going. Dave doesnt seem to ... read more

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

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
Summary: 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 ... read more

Pros: Moody, Dark, and highly accessible
Cons: Not as good as the Lillywhite Sessions "A Summer So Far", too produced
Summary: First let me say that I think the Dave Matthews Band (DMB) is easily among the best artists of their day. I believe that Busted Stuff is good, probably better than 99% of the new discs that have been and will be released this year, but the often ... read more

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