Editorial Reviews

From Amazon.co.uk

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 light-headed 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

like totally cool (2004-07-18)

This is the worst band in the history of music and just as expected they come with the worst fans in the history of the world! Frat boys and girls in white hats driving around in SUVs while drinking Starbucks while listening to "Under The Table & Dreaming" sounds like a stereotype but its the truth! Sadly this band is even more predictable than their damn fans.

Please for the love of humanity stop hazing the rest of humanity by blaring this crap wherever you go. This band is horrible, has no talent and re-writes the same song 100 times.

Wow! Sooo good (2004-07-01)

Well I'd like to first start by saying this is my first DMB album. I had difficulty choosing between this album and crash, but there both excellent choices, you can't go wrong. Anyway, this is an amazing. Every song is hypnotic and and just puts you in a trance you don't want to get of. My personal favorites are jimi thing, dancing nancies, and rhyme and reason. Trust me and everyone else who reviewed this album correctly, it's worth it.

I don't understand what all the hype is about (2004-06-03)

Below average. I give this album two stars just for Ants Marching and Satellite, and I'm being kind. Other than that all of the tunes on this CD are completely forgettable, almost tuneless, and, truthfully, I will probably trade this CD back in to get something worthwhile. I purchased this after consulting a friend who is a huge DMB fan. I never listened to their music, but I was curious about them because they have such a huge following. So, I dove in: I asked my DMB friend which album to buy. He suggested "any" because "they're all so good." I tried this one, their first, and now, along with a few other reviewers on Amazon, I, too, am puzzled over all the hype surrounding this band. I can only chalk it up to the same sort of mindless adulation surrounding the likes of Brittney Spears. It certainly has nothing to do with how DMB writes songs, because those are mostly irritating or forgettable, musically and lyrically. I spoke with another friend about DMB about this album, and about them in general, and we just sort of shook heads together. "I don't get it," we both said at the same time. My friend said: "It's female music." I nodded. That's what this is. It is concert music to bring your date to so she can get in the mood and swoon. That's all this is, nothing more.

La La La La , Hey, La La La La . Hey... (2004-04-27)

This is probably the most fun Dave Matthews Band album. Most of the songs have a great sing along quality. The playing is loose and vibrant. Even the slower numbers have a melodic sway to them. I think the Amazon editorial review hit on the mood exactly. One can just picture the band onstage at a fair or carnival as children run around and adults listen, dance and sing. Then sitting in the grass listening to the last two tracks fade as the sun sets.... It's understandable why this album vaulted them to stardom. Most casual or non-Dave Matthews Band fans I know all agree this is a great CD. While they may not be crazy about later releases, "the songs on Crash are too long", "Before These Crowded Streets is too dark", "Everyday is too slick", etc, this release is always favorably received. If you are new to DMB, this is the best introduction. If you are a long time fan, this is probably never far from your player.

One of DMB's Best... (2004-04-05)

On Dave Matthews Band's first RCA release, 'Under the Table and Dreaming', they introduce their listeners to a mellow, yet energetic musical genre of love, peace, and happiness within their lyrics and music. Dave Matthews lyrics are deep and profound, while his voice soars high above the clouds over head, as his acoustic guitar leads the group and requires all the other instruments to revolve around him. Stefan Lessard's bass guitar is like a faint angel stomping it's feet along to Dave's guitar riffs, with Carter Beauford providing hard hitting, syncopated drum arrangements, which make DMB all the more interesting to listen to. Leroi Moore's saxophone sounds will flutter through your ears like a baby crying in the faint distance, while Boyd Tinsley's violin swerves through the tunes and makes a great backing rythmic string section.

'Best Of What's Around'= Four stars'What Would You Say'= Five stars 'Satelite'= Five stars 'Rhyme and Reason= Four stars'Typical Situation'= Five stars'Dancing Nancies'= Three stars'Ants Marching'= Five stars 'Lover Lay Down'= Five stars 'Jimi Thing'= Four stars 'Warehouse'= Five stars'Pay For What You Get'= Five stars'#34'= Three stars

I reccomend this to people as a first DMB CD. It introduces you to their distinct sounding music, along with some of their more diverse musical genres. Five star all the way.
