Only my opinion. I'm sure it differs with many on here.

I give the album a 6

    This She hate is putting my brain in a pretzel. I don't understand it at all. Absolutely love that song.

    Yeah. About that.

    Is Nickelback considered more hated than DMB? Go ahead and have them play it and see how bad it is.

    But then why not have Ben Howard play it?

    Or anyone else of your choosing...

    But why are we suggesting a band that is arguably worse and more hated then DMB play a song you don't like by them... wouldn't you want someone to cover it that you might actually dig??????

    Problem for me, and even as a (former) musician who has tracked albums before there is something to be said for song positioning on an album. That is really what knocks this down for me from an 8 to a 7. Way an album "sounds" does have something to do in which order you listen to it. if you listen to this straight thru it sounds exactly like it was produced - disjointed with too many cooks in the kitchen. That parts a shame. But overall the musicianship on most of these songs is stellar, considering still missing Leroi and now Boyd (and mostly strings are nowhere to be found). Dave's voice/vocals are some of his best. And yes I like the falsetto. A lot. Its different than on most of the other albums. You can tell he worked hard on getting his vocals tight in the studio. The live versions sound great which for me confirms that. Would have liked more horns and even some more strings. And there are a couple forgettable tunes (Come Tomorrow, She, Samurai Cop) Biggest thing fo repel I think is they need to realize/understand/come to terms with this is not the DMB of 1995. Nor 2005. This band, and its patrons, have evolved. Its what they want to play and sound like now. They are allowed, but for people to say its shit I just don't get. I guess don't listen. There's PLENTY of pop and hip hop and EDM and a lot of other nonsense out there nowadays. Something for everyone

    I like this post. I too wish there was more horns; love horns... Have always liked Idea of You.. And Black and Blue Bird is great. Awesome actually!.. . Come on Come on is "full" and I can see it being really FULL live (horns in full force)...Come Tomorrow sounds like it's in the Some Devil thread - I can see this being really good live, as well... Again and Again (Bob Law) is put together really well. Again, I can see the horns really coming alive at a concert.

    Just wish the horns (if they're there live) were on the album.. Just like in That Girl is You, the horns on the live play, completely change the feel of that song - puts it over the edge.

    Dave (& the band) are older and he is still really in love with his wife and he appreciates/loves his children.. I can relate to this. Years of being in love and seeing your kids grow older can change your life and thoughts.

    I like the album.

    It's above Stand Up for me...I voted 6 but I think that's a little too generous, closer to a 4. I like about half of it

    I like it more than Everyday. Not quite as good as Stand Up.

    The highlights for me are IOU, DYR and Again and Again. The lowlights are just awful, and there are a lot of them. Gave it a 4.

    There’s nothing bad about the song. I don’t hear Nickelback. I hear a local “dad band” that might play at a free Concert in the Park in the suburbs, trying to sound edgy.

    Most of the songs are about life, love, sex, intoxication and recollection of youth. These are all themes I love in DMB music. I'm not a fan of current politics in Dave's music so I'm glad there's not much of this. Not shockingly I'm not a huge fan of Come Tomorrow--it's too on the nose as his political songs tend to be--"As far as I can see/a better way for you and me/is to let the children run the show/and in not to long we'll be good to go"--Did he really say "good to go"? Woof!

    Anyway I've been listening to this album on nonstop repeat all day and I love it more than any album they've put out in a long time. It's generally thematically consistent with what I like about DMB and it's musically interesting. I give it a solid 7 one day in and I expect it to grow on me more as time goes by. Can't say that for either of the last 2 albums, both of which have gems but also have too many songs I struggle to listen to.

    Is it weird that I forgot the new album even came out today? I even listened to one of the LiveTrax albums today at work, the one that was Leroi's final show in 2008. Didn't even think about the new album. I guess that shows how excited I am for it. Downloading it now.

    And I'd give it a 5.5 if I could, decided to round up to a 6 because of She and Here On Out. Only super bummer was that Brandi was wasted on Come Tomorrow, which I think is the worst song on the album.

    This album is best listened to on shuffle. Lots of great songs, just not necessarily in the order they’re stacked.

    Exactly! Black Hole Sun is what I think of.

    Forgettable song to me.

    I am going to eat my hat. After the third run through the album, I am going from 4 to a solid 7. Carter and Fonz are solid throughout and if DMB openly wanted to have an album of live songs and gratitude, while avoiding the issues of the day, then have at it.

    This band is still great and always has been. I’ve been listening to them since I was 16 years old. I’m now almost 40 and I enjoy every new album. It’s called evolution and if people can’t handle that then move on. No excuses, this album is pretty badass and if people are searching for 90s comparison... sorry brother but it ain’t happening. Trust me, in 20 years you will be asking what happened to music like Come Tomorrow. Just my thoughts.

    When I’m Weary is one of the best songs on the album and it’s just Dave. That’s all it takes, Dave and a piano and I’m pretty stoked. Listen to it over and over and think of family and your kids, if you have them. It’s absolutly fantastic!!

    Re: Rate the Album

    Something I noticed about this album as well, as the two albums prior is the lack of any instrument playing a key part to a song that makes it creative or memorable. It's like Fonzy playing the beginning base line to crush, or the funky intro to too much and the 70's style bass solo intro to Watchtower is the reason we know who Fonzy is. The violin solo's on ants, liog, billies, pig and countless others that make you wonder what would this bands sound be without that violin and of course the late great Leroi Moore on the sax, that beautiful sound that changes the feeling of any song like reminiscing to #41 to the eerie sound of ddtw and chill feeling on grace is gone. The creative input each band member added to many songs is what made so many of there early albums so amazing. Today the band feels like Dave Matthews "cover" Band, it has no self creativity due to the fact it has to follow the blue print of the guys before them. Come tomorrow has the feeling of a high school student that had 2 weeks to write an essey and waited till the last day.

    Writing an essay on the last day? What on Earth are you talking about? Doesn't sound rushed at all.
