Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0078636798820 Label: RCA Manufacturer: RCA MPN: 67988 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: RCA Release Date: February 27, 2001 Studio: RCA Editorial Review: Amazon.com: With three years passed and a new producer at the helm, the Dave Matthews Band find themselves stretching beyond the borders of Before These Crowded Streets to more emotionally explorative territory. On Everyday, Matthews's clenched-jaw delivery has an unrelenting constancy that's cunning and determined. "I Did It" opens the CD in an aggressive groove, while "When the World Ends" follows with clipped licks that dive into a muddier, open-flowing chorus. From there on out, the floodgates open into something that often recalls Peter Gabriel, which is ironic, given that the band replaced producer Steve Lillywhite, whose work with Gabriel is legendary, with Glen Ballard, whose work with Alanis Morissette is of equal note, if not acclaim. The album is Gabrielesque in scope, from Matthews's deepening rasp to the epic instrumentation. Yet, what's lacking is Lillywhite's ability to capture a sense of naked honesty. Instead, Ballard dosses down the tracks in designer-suit production, unable to save a band that might simply not be up to the task on such an ambitious sonic endeavor. That, combined with Matthews's tendency to eschew conventional hooks, leaves the album stalled between the group's jam-band compulsion and radio-friendly packaging. To capture the latent majesty of this album, you're going to have to hear it live, and with this band, that's always been precisely the point. --Beth Massa Album Description: Exclusive import edition of their 2001 album now includes a bonus 5 track Live EP.

 Rating:  - my favorite Dave Matthews albumI've never been a huge fan. Dave's voice annoys me after a little while. I do think this is my favorite album by them. Many fans don't seem to like it but I can't understand why. Angel is my favorite track on here. This album got me into their other work which I had previously written off. Rating:  - Throw it awayI've been a fan of the Band since '95, and I honestly tried listening to this album, but it just sucks too much. It's a shame that the Band doesn't even realize it and they shove the songs down your throat when you go see them live. Rating: - Ack! LameI can't believe it, but hey, since I'm not a Dave Matthews Band fan, I don't really give a ____ what people think about. I guess I do know why Dave Matthews fans get a bad rap, I remember seeing somebody get tarred and feathered because they just don't like The Dave Matthews Band. Basically, after listening to Under The Table and Dreaming, this is just laughable. And of course, the electric guitar is a death kneel, it just makes this seem more of a ________ alternative rock band, with nothing good ...

After 10 years of making the most profoundly wonderful music, the law of averages has finally kicked in for Dave and crew. I have been a fan since 1997 and loved everything about this band. Every album and every song was superb! This album is a HUGH departure from the tradition Dave Matthews Band that all true DMB fans know and love. This album has also made a division between old hardcore DMB fans (fans of the REAL band that includes all 5 members) ... Read More Rating:  - 4.5 stars, in the right orderThe biggest problem with Everyday is that the best few songs and singles (except for the title track) are burned through at the start of this LP. That's not to say the rest of the tracks are crap (most are good) but there's nothing to keep the listener hanging around for the second half of the album. I bought this album because of `the space between' and was initially disappointed with it. Much later while messing around on Itunes, I rearranged the playlist and realised this is actually quite a strong album ... Read More |
