Album Review
Under the Table and Dreaming, the Dave Matthews Band's first major-label album, was their popular breakthrough, bringing their mildly eclectic sound to a mass audience. Although the group appeals to the same audience as Blues Traveler, Hootie & the Blowfish, and the Spin Doctors, the Dave Matthews Band has more influences than their peers. Fusing together folk-rock, worldbeat, jazz, and pop, the band is arguably the most musically adept of all their contemporaries. However, they have trouble coming up with engaging hooks, as their third album, Crash, proves. Although the band continues to get better — their musical cross-breeding is effortless and seamless — they often don't have an attractive frame for their skills. Strangely, the lack of memorable melodies doesn't particularly hurt the album — it actually emphasizes the band's instrumental talents. Nevertheless, since there's a lack of strong pop hooks, Crash is an album that will please fans, but not novices.

Beautiful Album
by TelecommunicationI missed "Under the Table and Dreaming" when it first came out. How I overlooked such and amazing album is beyond me, but luckily "Crash" caught my attention. Dave's guitar playing with his jazz inspired progressions, and loose, free flowing lyrical content was so fresh and different that I couldn't help but get hooked. So many songs like "So Much to Say" and "#41" just make you want to dance or clean house or something. I think these first two albums really captured a fun and different approach to acoustic music that was brave, truly musical in the sense of having a well thought out structure, and made acoustic guitar seem more intelligent and less folksy. The other release that I would recommend is the first release with Tim Reynolds, the long-time studio collaborator with Dave. I find later albums to never quite have the same element of lightness to them that "Crash" and "Under the Table and Dreaming" have, which I missed and later got disinterested in Dave's stuff, tho there have been songs here and there, and the live shows are always a party.
2nd favorite DMB album. That says a ton
by PBStoneyCrash was the first album I owned by DMB. I remember sitting there listening to #41 over and over while I played Super Mario RPG back in the mid '90s. I was captivated then, and I still am. This was the band's breakout album, taking them from what they were after Under the Table and Dreaming (a college-rock band with a cult following) to the beginning of what they are today (a great band with an utterly enormous cult following). Before These Crowded Streets cemented those new fans to the band's shoes, and we hung on all the way to the passing of Leroi Moore, the release of Big Whiskey and we'll keep holding on forever. When you go to a DMB show you can bet that half of the people you talk to will say Crash is their favorite album. I'm not one of them, I like BTCS better, but I understand this one's magnetism. I already mentioned #41, that's my favorite DMB song, period. Lie in our Graves, So Much to Say and Say Goodbye are up there too, but to me this album has weaknesses even if they are light ones. Let You Down (especially) and Proudest Monkey (a little) are unnecessary and bland songs. Most of Crash seems to be a well-melded, unpretentious showcase of talent but these two come off as last minute or questionable additions in an attempt to diversify the album more. I wasn't sold from day one and i'm not now. Having said that, I love this album like crazy because it is incredible. If for no other reason it gets a huge nod because So Much to Say won a grammy, the band's only win to date. (Although I think another one is coming.) This one is amazing, but BTCS doesn't carry those weaknesses.
amazing
by hceuchecI normally don't write reviews but i had to for this album. This is by far my favorite album of all time. It was the first dmb cd i heard and literally every song is amazing on this cd. Its one of those albums that you could listen to from beginning to end. A must own for anyone that likes this kind of music
