JimHJun 20, 2005This CD is terrible. I dont understand why people continue to buy DMB's stuff. They haven't released a quality effort since Crash came out in '96.

TomJMay 19, 2005A bunch of shitty loops with songs that drag on way too long with no hook!

MichaelFJun 3, 2005I was deeply disappointed in this album. Id like to call myself a huge dave fan, but am embarrased of this album. The tracks just sound too over-produced. It seems as if it is just another Dave Matthews album, not a BAND. Where did the band go?

DaveCJul 3, 2005Pop garbage. Dave Matthews has been consistantly getting worse since "Under the table..." and now it culminates in this garbage. The only reason this album has this high of a MC rating is because all of the good music publications knew better than to waste their time listening to this.

TonyIJan 12, 2006Absolute death. I was the world's biggest DMB fan, and this CD made me feel like I just got in an argument with a girlfriend. Five brilliant musicians compromising thier dignity to try to sound like hip-hop funk, while forgetting thier great grassroots beginning

DavidMay 19, 2005This is the best album the DMB have ever released. Which is why it manages to score a 2.

jackjJun 2, 2005I give this album a 2 b/c there are only two songs thats sound like DMB's abilities allow them to. The only two songs that were written by dave (for the most part) make tha album worth it. Other than that...they need to get back to their roots and figure things out with a better producer.

RyanFeb 4, 2006Absolutely Dreadful. The best song on the album is the American Baby Intro. That's just sad. Here's to another 4 years of listening to Crash and Before These Crowded Streets.

allensMay 23, 2005Owning any and all of dave's stuff, I guess I have high standards of what is coming out next. Very disappointed. Sounds like they threw the album together in one week.

Entertainment WeeklyGrander-sounding and more ambitious than Some Devil... Stand Up is brimming with potential singles. [13 May 2005, p.84]
-
Stand Up is as democratic a record as you can expect from a band named after the singer. Unfortunately, that organic feel comes at the expense of Matthews' personality, a combination of pervy extroversion and armchair philosophizing that Everyday channeled more purely.

The official return of the DMB shows them in full force and stretching way Up.
