Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: A Long And Satisfying Journey Comment: I first became interested in Dave Matthews Band one early morning in May 2001 when I woke up just as the video for The Space Between came on. I was stunned at the power of the song and the images. I quickly began to listen to everything. I wasn't too impressed with the rest of Everyday. I thought then and still do that it just doesn't showcase the band or Dave in a fair and adequate manner. They became just like a lot of other bands already out there and yet Everyday was good...perhaps very good. I remember being completely blown away by Crash. I was taken to a higher plane, especially during Two Step, that song is absolutely remarkable. I still think that this album is the best place to start a Dave Matthews Band collection as it is a Masterpiece. I don't think anyone could go wrong with this album. From beginning to end you will be captivated! Having said that, my favorite DMB album for a long time was Before These Crowded Streets. Some describe it as a dark album. Indeed it is. But, it is also fun! With songs like Rapunzel and Stay (Wasting Time). It's touching especially during the ballad Spoon where Dave ponders on the finals moments at the cross roads. What his final thoughts are and the peace that is taking him over as he readys himself to meet the maker. Pig has always seemed to me one of his most inspired songs. Theres not many unique ways left to tell people that love is the most important thing, but he finds his own original verses and sings them with such passion that you can't help but feel everything that he's feeling. This album as well is a Masterpiece, but not for everyone, as I believe Crash is. Busted Stuff and Stand Up are both quite ambitious efforts. They certainly have their moments. But they are not quite at the level of albums such as Crash or Before These Crowded Streets. They are superior to Everyday. They way I would explain it is like this, to me after Before These Crowded Streets Dave Matthews Band became Hit Makers. There was not such a focus on making an entire album that meshed together in a cohesive manner. But what these albums lack in cohesion they make up for in great individual moments. From Everyday you will be blown away by When The World Ends, The Space Between, Dreams Of Our Fathers, Motherfather, So Right. You will be moved by Everyday and Angel. I think personally Sleep To Dream Her is beautiful. Busted Stuff features such hard hitting and haunting hits such as Grey Street and Bartender. Touching songs such as Where Are You Going and Grace Is Gone. Big Eyed Fish is quite memorable. Digging A Ditch is mellow and relaxing. You Never know is stunning. Stand Up features fun and happy numbers such as Dream Girl and Old Dirt Hill in addition Hunger For The Great Light. The emotional and pure love ballads Stolen Away on 55th And Third along with Steady As We Go. These albums have spectacular highs! But as complete works I would have to rate them lower than Crash and Before These Crowded Streets because these particular titles are such a listening pleasure from start to finish and are unquestionably Masterpieces. Remember Two Things is fascinating as well. I'll Back You Up is one of Daves best ballads and should definitely be checked out. If you can buy this song seperately I would highly recommend. Not that Remember Two Things isn't worth having the whole thing, but I wouldn't recommend starting your collection with it. In the end however and I'm not sure how I arrived here? Under The Table And Dreaming is now and will be forever my favorite Dave Matthews Band album. It has all my favorite songs. The Best Of What's Around just never fails to pick one up. What Would You Say is so fun to listen too! Satellite is gorgeous, however I wish that I could have heard it in its original version with the different lyrics which use to be a love song. Rhyme & Reason is as haunting a song as I have ever heard and that's a good thing! Typical Situation always impresses me at how it goes back and forth from being mellow to excited so seemlessly. Dancing Nancies in the end just makes you happy to be who you are! Ant's Marching is so spectacular and ranging that it blows me away everytime ever after a million listens. There has never been a more beautiful love ballad than Lover Lay Down, as beautiful yes, more, no, not to me. Jimi Thing is just simply one of my favorite songs of all time. Dave sings about what he wants and how he doesn't have it how hes bereaved and still we're celebrating and getting by...yes we are! Warehouse is absolutely explosive! Pay For What You Get is strange and mysterious. It's one of the songs I listen to the most. #34 is beautful and it is peaceful, mellow and serene, lovely and instrumental the whole way through. Definitely one of the moments when you realize even more how much of a master each member of this band is when playing. How did a guy that first got into the Dave Matthews Band by way of The Space Between and Everyday come to make this Epic Masterpiece his favorite Dave Matthews Band album? I don't know and I still have a special place in my heart for Everday and The Space Between because without them I don't know if I would have ever explored Dave Matthews Band Music but these days Under The Table And Dreaming is the only album of DMB that I own because simply put I don't want to listen to anything else when it comes to DMB. This is the one. But I still remember the others and will until the end of time and will love them as I love Dave, Boyd, Carter, Leroi, Stefan and Tim when he camios. Thanks Guys! Customer Rating: Summary: LOVE the album, HATE the copy protection! Comment: I am not a HUGE DMB fan, but I do have about 5 albums of theirs. Love them all--one of the few bands I can listen to the entire CD of, not just select tracks. HOWEVER, I have been trying to get this particular CD on my PC (to transfer to my MP3) for about 5 years now. Have tried my copy, friends' copies, the library's copy--to no avail. Copyright law states that a consumer may make one back-up copy of any copyrighted material, so there should be no copy-protection anyway. I just want to put the album on my MP3 so I can listen more often. I even thought I would purchase the MP3 album (and pay ANOTHER $12!!!!!) just so that I could have it--but they don't offer MP3 album through Amazon. DMB, rethink this copy-protected garbage. As another reviewer pointed out, your albums sell quite well and you tour often. Some of us DO ALREADY pay the money for your work but want to actually be able to USE it! Customer Rating: Summary: love dave! Comment: I'm a fan, turned my teen onto Dave and now she's a fan. Love this album and most of the others from track 1 to end... Customer Rating: Summary: Dave Mathews is never displeasing! Comment: What can I say other than this is one of my favorite CDs now? Dave Matthews is an excellent musician, backed up by excellent musicians. A must own for the Dave Matthews fan. Customer Rating: Summary: It amazes me that DMB fans riot. Comment: It amazes me that DMB fans riot at many of his concerts. I was working at a venue that hosted DMB and there were cars flipped over and then set on fire in the parking lot. The ironic thing was a few weeks previously we had Marilyn Manson and the riot police and protesters were in full force and the worst incident was a teen getting busted with some drug or another. But the more I think of it the less it shocks me that there are riots and fires and chaos at DMB shows... it's basically Woodstock for frat boys, and what better way to celebrate the band you love after a couple rounds of flip cup than to go out and flip cars? Oh I know a better way! Light them on fire afterwards! ALL RIGHT, DMB ROCKS!!!!!! WOOOO!!!!!!!! One thing I REALLY don't understand is the "WOOOOO!" Why is it every time you show a crowd of these people on camera the only thing they can do is shout "WOOOO?" Anyway, enjoy the CD. This band has enough albums to make a complete set of coasters.

Editorial Reviews: With popcorn acoustic guitars, trampoline fiddles, bumper-car bass lines, and caramel-coated sax, the Dave Matthews Band's major-label debut is like an evening at the fair. "The Best of What's Around" and "What Would You Say" swirl like the amusement-park ride on the album's cover, sweeping the exhilarated and lightheaded listener higher as the ride spins faster. "Satellite" glides breezily like the prettiest horse on the carousel, "Ants Marching" runs around hitting the bell with the sledgehammer and winning the largest stuffed animals at the target-range booths, and "Lover Lay Down" is the quietest moment on the disc--like the sun setting on a baby's sleeping, snow-cone-stained face collapsed on her daddy's shoulder. --Beth Massa
