About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

On their major-label debut, Under the Table and Dreaming, the Dave Matthews Band is helped by the lean production of Steve Lillywhite, who manages to rein in the group's tendency to meander. The result is a set of eclectic pop/rock that is accentuated by bursts of instrumental virtuosity instead of being ruled by it. That also means that the Dave Matthews Band is capable of turning out pop songs, and as the hit single "What Would You Say" and "Ants Marching" illustrate, they have a flair for catchy hooks. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

December 30, 2002: I have listened to almost all of dave's music, but this cd always finds its way back in the player and i never get tired of it either. All the songs are great, making this a cd that will not just fade out.

Best Album I Have Heardby Anonymous

October 19, 2002: The group is an absolutely fantastic band, and few people would dispute this fact. I believe this album was the pinnacle for the group. Crash was also a great album, but perhaps didn't glue together as well as UTTAD. The album is the perfect blend of deep lyrics, instrument solos, poly-rythmic drums and great bass-lines. Instead of wandering around like in some live albums, all songs have a purpose or destination. Later albums have been more mellow, and seemed to just try to reproduce earlier works like Crash and UTTAD rather than moving forward. Trying to produce more 'tripping billies' and 'ants marching' when really Dave himself was going into a deeper and deeper depression. Everyday was a break from this after that producer who was with Alanis Morrisette was brought in to generate some commercially viable pop songs. It's still a good album, because Dave is that good, but cannot cast a shadow next to UTTAD. The album can just be listened to over and over again, I have never grown tired of it- as the musical depth is there, and you can find different things working in each of the songs each time. My favourite tracks on it are hard to distinguish between, but probably the opener-'Best of What's Around', 'Dancing Nancies' with what I call the duelling solos floating around between lyrics, 'Ants Marching', and with 'Warehouse' perhaps as my favourite track of all. Desert Island scenario, with only 1 cd you can take, this would have to be it.
