Free Music Notes for Stand Up
Free Music Review: Nice effort from the dmb
Hit: 5 Stars
I find it funny that so many people forget that the hardcore fans of this band reacted the same way when BTCS was released. Most fans thought that album was too much of a departure from the bands original sound. Well I know for sure that progress is always a good thing for a band and dmb goes leaps and bounds better than everyday with this album expounding on that fresher sound but still keeping the sound that made the band what it is.
I really just can't see where the complaints are coming from on this album. Sounds great to me. It's the best album since Before These Crowded Streets was released over 7 years ago. Everyday had a few too many weak songs didn't really show what the band could do. Busted Stuff while having it's moments with Grey Street, Raven, and Bartender kinda pailed in comparison to the Lillywhite Sessions versions of the same songs. Although, You Never Know was a new gem for that album. This album seems to get things right.
Now for the Music.
1. Dream Girl
Probably the most old school sounding song on the album. Has a great guitar rift from dave. Has some amateureish (i.e John Mayer like) lines in it but overall a great song and has some cool musicianship in it. Dave does the vocals great in this song. 7/10
2. Old Dirt Hill (Bring That Beat Back)
I'm guessing this song is about dave's childhood...good song though. Has kind of a nice rythym to the song. Good tune..nothing above average here though it has the potential to grow on me. 6/10
3. Stand Up. Starts with carter beauford's signature drumming and dave quickly follows with a fast paced guitar lick. This song has the funk and Leroi knocks it home on this one. The only downside to this song is that the words "Stand Up" are chanted a few too many times(reminiscent of "I Did It"). 8/10
4. American Baby Into. Maybe the most interesting thing musically on the album. Starts off slow with a piano itro and builds into insane drumming and machine gun firing. Boyd Tinsley adds a nice touch with his violin and dave comes in later and adds a couple of lines. Very nice. 8/10
5. American Baby. Nice little post-9.11 song. This song sounds like dmb of old to me. Has a rocking little outro too. I believe it got higher on the singles charts than any other dmb single. Although I'm sure that just because it's a single most dmb fans will dislike just for that fact. 7-10
6. Smooth Rider. Bluesy song and definitely a great one. Piano heavy. Dave's voice sounds great in this one. The only bad thing is it is way too short. 7/10
7. Everybody Wake Up. Starts with an almost haunting intro by boyd tinsley and then the guitar kicks in setting the pace for this song. The most political song on the album but dave is never really overt with his lyrics. A cool vocal effect is put on dave's voice in the chorus and then he sings his normal voice over it to give it a really great sound. Also has a great almost U2 sounding outro. 9/10
8. Out Of My Hands. Sort of a continuation of the previous song(lyrically anways). Definitely a good quite tune. 8/10
9. Hello Again. Debuted in the summer of '04 and quickly became a fan favorite. It doesn't quite match the intesnity of the live performances but is still great. Probably the darkest song on the album lyrically. The has a great country rock feel to it and the song ends abruptly and flows into Louisiana Bayou 8/10
10. Louisiana Bayou. Yeah, now this is a good one. Can't really tell all the lyrics in this song but it doesn't matter...it's just a cool song. The best tune on the album in my opinion.10/10
11. Stolen Away. Probably the weakest song on the album. Has some nice work by leroi though. Not horrible but would have fit better on the everyday album. 5/10
12. You Might Die Trying. The great thing about this song is I really can't think of another dmb song that sounds like it yet it still sounds familiar. Good lyrically. 7/10
13. Steady as We Go- Dave plays some piano on this song...something he really should do more of. Sounds like a song that could have fit on Phish's last album "Undermind". The song has a ageless feel to it..very nice. 8/10
14. Hunger For The Great Light. Definitely the suprise of the album. Starts out almost hymn-like and quickly morphs into nirvana sounding guitar rift compliments of stefan. The hardest rocking song on the album. Lyrics are reminiscent of "Crash into Me). DMB should do more songs that rock like this. 9/10
I really wish the band would have put the songs they debuted in 2004 on the album. Crazy-Easy, Joy Ride, Sugar Will, Good Good Time are really all great songs that should have been on the album. At least joy ride came as a b-side with the pre-order. I hope those songs don't fade away into obscurity because they are really good. Crazy Easy is definitely as good as anything on this album and good good time has a #36 feel to it. Oh well, can't have it all.
Once DMB fan's wake up and realize that the band will never sound exactly like they did 15 years ago then maybe they will realize that this really is a truely great album and one of the band's best. Not a mis-step like everyday but a stepping stone into the future sound of the DMB.
Stand Up Poster
The DVD side of the DualDisc will feature a 20+ minute film featuring the making of STAND UP with in-depth interviews with DMB at their recording studio in Charlottesville, VA.Don't let the headless CGI dancer on the cover fool you. While Stand Up has a more organic feel than 2001's radio-ready Everyday, it is hardly an invocation for carefree days spent twirling on the grass. Instead it is a call to arms that carries over much of the insurrectionary spirit the Dave Matthews Band brought to 2004's Vote for Change Tour. Matthews, sounding rawer than ever, swerves between optimism ("To change the world you only start with one step," he sings on "You Might Die Trying") and angst ("See the man with the bomb in his hand/Everybody wake up," on "Everybody Wake Up [Our Finest Hour Arrives]"), while producer Mark Baston, best known for his small-time work with big-name pop acts like Beyonce and 50 Cent, responds by putting the marching band rhythms of Carter Beauford in the front and galvanizing the music with a crisp R&B edge, most evident in the totally--okay, partially--crunk "Stolen Away on 55th & 3rd." --Aidin Vaziri
