Wow, no mention of “Why I Am” in this review… probably the biggest tribute to Roi and one of the best songs on the disc.
Definitely agree that it’s the best since ‘Streets’.
Personally though I think “Time Bomb” is the worst DMB song ever and the only blemish on the album.
Just saw them last Saturday night in Hartford and they were on fire all night! Definitely at the top of my list of favorite shows along with the Central Park show.
Was the first DMB show I’ve been to in years where I was eager to hear a lot of new stuff played live and they delivered. A Bridge>Too Much tease that popped into Ants, A near 20 minute #41, a 15 minute Jimi… plus all the new songs I wanted to hear live (except Shake Me Like A Monkey)… Tim Reynolds & Jeff Coffin were total show stealers, the show should have been billed as “Tim Reynolds & Jeff Coffin featuring the Dave Matthews Band”! Plus the cover of “Burning Down The House”?
Awesome, awesome show.

Not many people will be able to appreciate the several key changes during “Why I Am.” “Alligator Pie” is the best mainstream song that Bela Fleck never wrote.

This album is actually a very complex DMB cd. Great sound but it makes it difficult to hear the changes (the highs and lows that in my opinion is what makes DMB)once you do notice them and the rhythm changes you suddenly find an authentic DMB recording…so far after 5 times through it…I’m starting to love it. Check out “spaceman”…what a song. I don’t care if Dave plays a accoustic, electric or a blender…this album shows a side to his writing that we haven’t scene since Busted Stuff. I can see about 6-7 of the songs becoming Dave classics. Nice job guys.

Time Bomb sounded incredibly out of place, but the record left me with a good taste in my mouth. Can’t say that about American Baby.

In general I don’t really give a shit about this band or the hippies that follow them around. But for whatever reason I’ve been listening to this record and I dig it. Good job DMB. I still won’t be seeing them live.
