2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty disappointing, May 11, 2005
By Pen Name (Fairbanks, Alaska) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Stand Up (Audio CD)
I've been listening to Dave Matthews Band for 15 years now. For awhile there, every album they put out got better and better. And then came "Everyday." They moved past their traditional acoustic folk/rock success with a new producer and an edgier sound. I initially hated that album, but grew to like it. With their last album, "Busted Stuff," they began to move back to their roots, only to drift again with the release of "Stand Up."

I don't know where they were going with this album, but it's a much different sound than we've heard in the past. If I didn't recognize (somewhat) the vocals of Dave Matthews, I might even think it's from a different band. Hopefully I'll grow into this album as well, but after several listens since it's release, I've grown tired of trying to find anything worth listening to.

This album sounds like it is filled with tracks that didn't make the cut for "Everyday." It has that over processed feel but lacks the 4 or 5 great tracks that made "Everyday" a decent album. So far I've found two tracks that I don't mind listening to: "Old Dirt Hill" and "American Baby," and even those aren't very good. The problem with the songs on this album is that they're too repetitive and they lack the great lyrics and instrumental riffs that make Dave Matthews Band's music so great. You hear the same chords and lyrics over and over and over. It's almost as if they took the first minute of each song and looped it several more times. I don't even recall hearing Boyd Tinsley's violin at all on this album. They even put two lame "throwaway" tracks on this album so you're only getting 12 songs. They did that on "Before These Crowded Streets" as well but at least that song was decent. These two just sound like a bunch of noise.

The other big failure with this album are the vocals. Dave's voice sounds way too gravely and hoarse during the entire album. He's always had somewhat rough vocals but this has always been part of his charm. His voice on this album sounds like he's been smoking cigarettes for twenty years.

I'd like to give this album 2.5 stars if I could, because I think I'll come to enjoy a few of the songs after several more listens, but it just really lacks the intensity and enjoyment that the band's past albums have had.

1.0 out of 5 stars JUST TERRIBLE!, May 10, 2005
By I. Bell (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stand Up (Audio CD)
I used to love DMB, but their last couple of CD's have really been terrible. "Stand Up" is probably the worst of the bunch. Gone are the long jams you grew used to with DMB. Instead we get slick, polished tunes that last 4 minutes. I'm also tired of Dave making political statements on his CD's.

I won't buy another DMB disc until Steve Lilywhite returns as producer.

Save your money and don't bother with "Stand Up".

1.0 out of 5 stars BEWARE, August 15, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Stand Up (Audio CD)
This CD does not play on all CD-players!!! It doesn't work on my car stereo and I can't even upload the songs onto my iPod. Amazon's description is very misleading, this is NOT an Audio-CD (it does not obey the Red-Book specifications). I am selling my copy on Ebay now and I will not buy a copy protected CD again.
