'you never know' is the closest ive heard them to pink floyd... and it is a most underrated song that demonstrates true genius of mr matthews.. loved that he played it last night in raleigh!!!

I, along with many DMB fans downloaded the leaked "lillywhite Sessions" and although they were a darker Dave than we were used to it was very good material in my opinion. When "Busted Stuff" came out I was expecting more or less the same feel of Lillywhite but I was greatly dispointed. Busted Stuff came over as poppy cliches of the great material that was produced on Lillywhite. Maybe its just me but Lillywhite was much better and I would have been happier if Dave would have bootlegged it himself and made copies for everyone to buy in the stores instead of wasting the money to re-record it.

very good album
"grey street" by itself makes the whole thing worth it. good vocals, out-of-the-world accompaniment

If mainstream music is generally what you like and buy, good for you, but I can tell you right now that you are simply not going to 'get' this CD, and you are definitely looking in the wrong place here, there is nothing here for you. For some crazy reason the DMB have historically and still rely upon meaningful songwriting and outstanding musicianship to sell records? Dumbasses, don't they know they could get mainstream radio play if they would just shorten their songs, throw in some catchy hooks, and dumb-down the lyrics. Or maybe the DMB write music the only way they know how, from the heart and soul, without regard for anything else? I think any DMB fan knows the answer to that question. This emotional and meaningful songwriting and remarkable musicianship is the very reason why the DMB sell out every show they play and have show-by-show earned the most passionate and loyal fans in the business.

This album contains everything that Dave fans love about the band. Awesome lyrics mixed with great music.

1. Busted Stuff 7/10 - A great way to open an album. Lyrics are kind of down though. Certainly not an uplifting song.

2. Greystreet 9/10 - The lyrics are great but the music is absolutely beautiful. But you know what? It sounds even better live.

3. Where are you Going? 8/10 - The first single from the album. A really nice sounding song.

4. You Never Know 10/10 - My personal favorite. A brilliant song with a very uplifting message.

5. Captain 5/10 - Definitely not a song he should ever play live...

6. Raven 7/10 - A very clever song, I love the chorus

7. Grace is Gone 8/10 - Like the guitar at the beginning, great lyrics, fan favorite

8. Kit-Kat Jam 6/10 - Great music, but only if it had words...

9. Digging a Ditch 7/10 - Makes you kind of want to kill yourself

10. Big-Eyed Fish 9/10 - Very clever, love the music. I love the outro into Bartender

11. Bartender 10/10 - Unbelievable. That's the only word to describe it. Everything about it is beautiful.
