...pop radio just finally got on board with Dave. All of his albums are consistant and in the time growing as artist. Just because your local pop radio station started playing Dave doesn't mean he sold out. Why are you listening to pop radio? Wasn't the great band of all time pop stars? The Beatles. Who cares, I dig DMB!
Ok, so DMB is cruising here. It's a great listen on a rainy day :-)
This was the one that ALMOST ruined it for me. I'd been a fan since about 1996, but after I heard Everyday for the first time, I stopped listening to Dave and crew altogether. This album sounded like they had completely sold out to pop radio and were no longer anything even approaching a jam band. Thankfully I did eventually get back into them, and I discovered that many of the songs on this album sound absolutely awesome when performed live. If you want to hear better versions of these tracks, check out the Folsom Field 2001 set or the Gorge 2002 set. I'd recommend skipping the studio release altogether.
