The horns in the beginning of One Sweet World sound like complete garbage.

    I don't think this is an unpopular opinion, seems like it's near consensus.

    Trumpet + Jeff's playing style just don't fit that part.

    Good cause the band is always smiling and dancing like crazy when they are playing it like they have no clue that it sounds terrible. It's to the point that I start to wonder if I'm wrong and just missing something. Bring back the boyd violin riff. That always sounded so smooth and fit perfectly.

    When Dave sings some falsetto parts he sounds like a sad old woman.

    Also, I hate how sometimes he sings the verses of Warehouse just a bit behind the melody of the song. Almost like he delays the vocal parts. I can't really describe it beyond that he's a little bit behind the rest of the band. It's bothersome. You probably don't notice it live, but when I hear the recording it ruins the song for me.

    The Batson Sessions are overrated and Dave mumbling over parts of a guitar riff 17 years ago doesn't automatically mean we were deprived of a good / great song

    Musically, I prefer MME, even if it's ground they've kinda covered before. The full-band version of Monsters may do more for me

    Lyrically, I guess I prefer Monsters, but neither is my fave

    MME is pretty good, but a baffling choice for a single.

Songs like Trouble, Grey Blue Eyes, even An Another Thing are, to me, throwaway tunes that never needed to see the light of day. Imagine a parallel universe where the band takes a year or two off and comes back with this instead…

    I honestly probably have listened to trouble, gbe, an another thing more then I listen to anything that's been released after, with the exception of the sugar will on the stand up bonus disc. I think trouble might be one of the best songs he's written.

    I am in this camp. Maybe not the best song he's written but I love it and listen to it often. Boggles the mind why they don't play it full band.

    I may have gone a bit over the top with "best written", but I'd much rather listen to trouble than 95% of what's been released since it. Ive just come to accept there's no logic or understanding to what's played or released at this point

    DMB is still my favorite band. This short album also doesn't faze me one bit, not until I actually listen to it the whole way through.

    I'm glad they cut Roi's intro sax solo from the early Why I Am take. I don't think it fits and the solo itself isn't great IMO

    like to revisit http://www.mattnorlander.com/blog/20...nd-song-ranked from time to time. Curious if he still has the same rankings. Steady As We Go as the second worst DMB song seems pretty harsh.

    Always thought the soul of the song died with Roi. Jeff could never get the emotion out of the sax line like Roi, but I think that can be said for the majority of his playing. He's much more of a technician while Roi was always feeling where to fit in to a tune.

    Modern One Sweet World would be a lot more tolerable if they brought back the instrumental intro before it.

    Dave screaming at the top of his lungs for 5 straight minutes wasn't much better either. I never have to hear SDL at a DMB show again in my life
