| CUSTOMER REVIEWS: | 4/5 - 4.5 stars, in the right order
The biggest problem with Everyday is that the best few songs and singles (except for the title track) are burned through at the start of this LP. That's not to say the rest of the tracks are crap (most are good) but there's nothing to keep the listener hanging around for the second half of the album. I bought this album because of `the space between' and was initially disappointed with it. Much later while messing around on Itunes, I rearranged the playlist and realised this is actually quite a strong album of songs IF they are in the right order. If you can, put the tracks in this order and give the it a go, I found it much much more concise and better listen.
<br />
<br />1.Everyday
<br />2.Angels
<br />3.So Right
<br />4.Dreams Of Our Fathers
<br />5.What You Are
<br />6.I Did It
<br />7.Fool To Think
<br />8.When The World Ends
<br />9.The Space Between
<br />10.If I Had It All
<br />
<br />You'll notice I've left off sleep to dream her & mother father, Mainly because they are duds. Even so it works out to be a stronger collection around 44 minutes length wise, which is about all the Matthews and Co. I can handle.

5/5 - A new style + A new producer= A new sound
But is that new sound a good one. This was my first DMB album, maybe that helps my admiration for it, but I may have liked it anyway, with great songs such as I Did It, Everyday, and Dreams of Our Fathers, helping this album with this new sound. this was one of the bands most succesful albums (sales wise) but many didn't like it, a reason why is Dave went elecric this album( which I personally liked) the one problem I have is producer Glen Ballard, making every song on here too short (no 7 minute jams here unlike on the bands best album Before These Crowded Streets.) instead it's 4 minute fast paced tunes. but still it's a reat album from possibly the best band certainly of modern time, and maybe even all time.

3/5 - A little disappointed
Although a huge fan of DMB since before they were DMB, I am disappointed with Everyday. Note to self: This is what happens when you change producers. Many of these songs should have been on Remember Two Things or Recently. |
