Do you like the album?
Simple yes-or-no question. Just to get a general consensus here now that WATM has been out for a few days.

Mods, I beg of you, please don't move this to the WATM sub-forum... sub-forums on this site are where threads go to die. If you want, move it after the first couple of weeks. Just want to get as many votes on this as possible to see where this falls.

    I voted no, although it is growing on me. But most of these songs I would prefer not to show up in a setlist when I go to a show. We will see where they go in a live setting and maybe after more time my vote will change.

    After Everything is so amazing. Put me down for loving it twice just to make up for your one exception!

    I do like it, but it awfully low key and mellow for my taste. It's missing a big, crank up the volume while driving song.

    I like it as a Dave Matthews album. I do not like it as a DMB album. Voted no. Kudos for the pandemic work, though.

    I like it a lot but the majority who were concerned about running times were spot on - so many of these songs end way too quickly.

    What’s the last studio song you felt like you could do that to?

    I adore this album. Not as good as UTTAD, Crash, BTCS, BS or Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King, but better than the rest.

    It's getting better to me every day. It might be their best album since the big 3. There's something special about these songs. They challenge you and then seduce you once you've gotten a chance to understand them. WATM in particular is such a detailed track, on this last listen I noticed a hundred new things about it. awesome record.

    Thankfully lots of the songs have room to grow live. It's been a while since we've had an album full of songs like that.

    Yes, I like the album. Unlike SU and CT, there are plenty of tracks for me to come back to after this honeymoon phase wears off.

    Really enjoy the album. I think, musically, it is their best one in a long time. They have all translated very well live too.

    This is a great, late career album. I'm already ready for this current lineup to do it again lol.

    Yes. I like it more than I did when I first listened. Still a couple of things I wish were different - like a some songs being longer / more fleshed out, and for a couple of songs to have been switched out for something else - but overall I like it quite a bit.

    One small thing that annoys me is that on STTMB, there's a part in the song where Dave pretty obviously plays the wrong chord by mistake, and they didn't fix it. It's the part when he sings "something to make them smile again".
