Review Score:

(8/10)
Dave Matthews and his band delivered another album showcasing what they do best: producing good music. On this album you'll find catchy rhythms in tracks like "Dreams Of Our Fathers" and especially "I Did It" ... The guitar riffs at the beginning of the song are enough to get you to jump out of your seat, and the wisecracking lyrics will keep you entertained as well.

Exceptional lyrical quality can also be found elsewhere on the album. "If I Had It All" is an interesting track that ponders what else in life would there be to look forward to if he had everything. "Sleep To Dream Her" is a basic yet infectious can't-get-her-off-my-mind song, and "Angel" follows almost the same pattern. Then there's the love-filled title track, which has just the right touch of promise to successfully end the album.

The most innovative song on the album is "Mother Father", which has Dave metaphorically asking why there are so many problems in the world. (That really hits home NOW, doesn't it?) A close second would be my personal favorite "The Space Between", whose lyrics will have you thinking indefinitely, not to mention its having the best music I've heard in a long time.

The chorus to "Fool To Think" sounds like Dave's singing is working against the music rather than alongside it, but that doesn't get in the way of a very noteworthy album. This one's a keeper.
