Pros: Dave Matthews plays electric guitar; CD is paced quite well; songs aren't as repetitive.
Cons: Hardly any room for classic DMB jamming; Boyd Tinsley is farther back in the mix.
Summary: Author's Note: My initial draft of this review had an incorrect track listing, as was pointed out to me by another Epinions member. Having received this track listing from someone who I thought had a pre-release, I grew accustomed to hearing the songs ...

Pros: Change of Pace, All songs are consistently good
Cons: Zero folk sound to it, borders on too poppy
Summary: I know I shouldn't like this album. Being such a ravid Dave Matthews Band fan, every bone in my body tells me I shouldn't like this. It is extremely poppy, it leaves behind all their folk and jazz roots. It leave behind Boyd Tinsley on violin. It leaves ...

Pros: Half the songs on here are very good, a mix of classic and newer DMB.
Cons: The other half of the songs sound too awkward.
Summary: This was actually the first CD that I bought by the Dave Matthews Band. Some of my classmates that I talked to really liked them and I liked "The Space Between". When I first listened to it, I enjoyed it quite a bit. And then when I bought some of ...

Cons: Glen Glen Glen Glen... Dave Dave Dave Dave... Pop Pop Pop Pop...
Summary: The Dave Matthews Band has changed. Making the executive decision to can Lillywhite a ...

Pros: More accessible rock arrangements, Dave's voice and lyrical imagery, 'If I Had It All'
Cons: 'Mother Father' is sick-bucket material.
Summary: In America, they are the biggest rock band on the circuit. Yes, even more popular than Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones, Bon Jovi and, eh, Posion. In the United Kingdom, people might think for a second on hearing Dave Matthews name before declaring that...

Pros: An overall good effort from Dave Matthews. New sounds.
Cons: More of a Dave Matthews solo album than a true band one.
Summary: I was one of the ones who leaped aboard the Dave Matthews express not long after it first started running. My first initial exposure to Dave and his band was with the excellent 1994 debut album Under The Table And Dreaming. I liked the blending of jazz,...

Pros: Some excellent songs: "Space Between", "Everyday" & "Angel" rank among DMB's best.
Cons: Some inconsequential filler pads the middle of the album.
Summary: Much has been made of the Dave Matthews Band's idea to forgo their traditional verse/chorus/verse/solo/extended jam format for their fourth studio album, "Everyday". Longtime producer Steve Lillywhite was out, replaced by L.A. pop vet Glen Ballard, who...

Pros: Experimental album that opens up a wide variety of entertaining music
Cons: Some songs just don't cut it
Summary: This album is what we got when dmb decided to team up with Glen Ballard. While this album is still dmb at heart you'd be hard pressed to find a lot of the usual jams and intros here. This album was written off as to poppy and not dmb's usual style....

Pros: great lyrics and a strong cohesive sound
Cons: a few repetitive song structures
Summary: How do you follow up what was by far the worst studio record of your career? That was the question that plagued the Dave Matthews Band throughout the year 2000. In 1997 they released Before These Crowded Streets, an album that just did...

Pros: It's Dave Matthews Band
Cons: You won't find anything ground-breaking
Summary: "Everyday" is the aptly titled fourth studio release from Charlottesville, Virgina's pride and joy- the Dave Matthews Band. Alternate titles were "mundane" and "prosaic". If it weren't for Matthews' unmistakable buoyant voice it would be hard to...

Pros: Provocative lyrics. Catchy songs. Some of Dave's best vocals to date.
Cons: It's fun, but it's not original or innovative.
Summary: Ah, Dave Matthews Band. They never cease to disappoint me. They have amazing potential, and they have far more raw talent than most other modern rock bands, but it seems like they can never get it right. I realize that a lot of people are probably very...

Pros: not much...The title track and "Dreams of our Fathers" are OK
Cons: Boring, trite, and uninspired, for the most part
Summary: What a boring album. Admittedly, I am not a huge expert on the Dave Matthews Band, only owning this and Under the Table and Dreaming, but the latter contained a unique sound, catchy music, and some interesting lyrics. Everyday, sadly,...

Pros: Familiar DMB groove with different sound.
Cons: Where are the long jam sessions?
Summary: I became a DMB fan during a time when they hadn't put out an album in several years. So, to prove myself a great fan, I went out and immediately bought their new CD, even knowing that it was a departure from the norm for them, I was optimistic. What...

Pros: New Sound, Amazing Music talent, And A new generation of Dave Fans!
Cons: more people to get in the way of me seeing him at a show:)
Summary: I wish I could give a completly unbiast review but I cannot so don't think that what I say is based on popular culture. With the new album I found a more punchy, more dynamic Sound for the band. I play myself so my admiration lies in their true talent...

Pros: A new and different sound from the same great band.
Cons: Lacks some of the signature instrumental jams that are so addictive.
Summary: I work in the press, so I have the luxury of access to myriad periodicals. And, I took the time to devour every review of this CD before I bought it.
See, I am a fan...a huge fan of Dave Matthews and his men. So, I was planning to buy this...

Pros: A few keepers
Cons: Very Little Sax/Violin, WAY overproduced, Missing the vibe
Summary: A little tale for you...
There is a very interesting story behind this album, which should be summarized first. When Dave and the band went back into the study to record their fourth studio album, they headed to their home ground in...
