Before These Crowded Streets

From: $13.97

The Dave Matthews Band is moving its music forward incrementally. While Before These Crowded Streets offers more of the folky melodies and vaguely international rhythms that made this Charlottesville, Virginia, group a major record and concert draw, it also finds them adding subtle new colorings to the mix. Alanis Morissette guests on two cuts, "Spoon" and the disc's first single, "Don't Drink the Water"; banjo Bela Fleck steps in, too. Most intriguing, however, is the modernist string arrangement from the Kronos Quartet on the driving "Halloween." Matthewsat least partly fulfills his obvious hopes to lead something other than a jam band here; at the same time, Streets should keep his fans satisfied. --Rickey Wright

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 17, 2008 Type: User Review More Personality But Not Enough Development

I didn't have high hopes for this album, but I didn't think it would be like this. This album has high potential. Really high potential. Consider what they have here:

A vocalist that can't be imitated (despite the criticism, I like...
