    dave has joined the ranks of many other artists before him sold out to main stream pop music. so much for the guy who played in his plaid pj bottoms and opened for the Dead in 95. the new album cover looks like an ad for abercrombie and fitch.

    The most influential album since "Sports" by Huey Lewis and the News

    Terrible. So uninspired that it makes me ill. Matthews has obviouly been doing too much crack, b/c his brain has obviously melted into goo. He hasn't made a halfway decent record since "Crash", and his latest is by far his worst. Just disgusting.

    If I wanted this kind of over romanticized nonsense and textural pretension I'd buy a Sting album. Now, where did I put that receipt?

    A bumpy ride that finds [producer Glen] Ballard attempting to rein in Matthews' self-indulgent tendencies, with varying degrees of success, to ditch his jam-band image for a sleeker sound.

    And though the smarter songs (the more personal "If I Had It All," the easygoing "Fool to Think") benefit from the concision, the group's newfound musical sharpness isn't that of a world-class bar band but that of an outsize stadium act -- all grand gesture and larger-than-life lyrics. Sometimes, as on "I Did It," the band recaptures the spirit of seventies rock in all its innocent fun. Other times, especially on the cloying, overdramatic "The Space Between," it recaptures only those moments that involve holding a lighter high above one's head.

    The result of all this glorious epiphany is a record that remains on par with the last few DMB albums, filled with laid back grooves that beg for volume.
