Dave Matthews Band - Crash
Crash Review
It's tempting to label the Dave Matthews Band as torchbearers of the Grateful Dead's moderate rock fusion and send them off on the next summer tour featuring either Blues Traveler or the Spin Doctors. But there is more at work here, particularly on the band's second major-label release. Crash pairs soothing sounds (flute, acoustic guitar, six-string bass) with a dark emotional undercurrent. The South African (by way of Virginia) frontman reveals a rare intensity on the title track and the free-form "41," while the group shows that it's not afraid to let loose on songs such as the stirring "Too Much." Producer Steve Lillywhite adds an impressive sheen to the recordings. --Aidin Vaziri

Seriously A Great DMB CD

I happen to be a huge DMB fan myself and this is one of, if not the best CD they have. it has most of the DMB classics:

1. So Much To Say: 8/10 - Great melody, gotta love the sax

2. Two Step: 9/10 - A classic

3. Crash Into Me: 10/10 - One of the best DMB songs

4. Too Much: 7.5/10 - Just a great fast tempo song

5. #41: 10/10 - Without a doubt, one of the greatest songs out there

6. Say Goodbye: 7/10 - Defintally worth listening to

7. Drive In Drive Out: 7.5/10 - Pretty good

8. Let You Down: 8/10 - A little slow, but you gotta give it a chance

9. Lie In Our Graves: 8/10 - Just another great DMB song

10. Cry Freedom: 7/10 - Not bad

11. Tripping Billies: 7/10 - A very creative song

12. Proudest Monkey: 8/10 - Great ending touch for an amazing CD


CD: 9/10

Hands down my favorite DMB studio album

This is such an amazing CD, probably my favorite from anyone. I grew up with DMB, and i still love this CD today. My top 4 songs:
Crash (into me)- this is a highly recognized song which is sort of amusing considering that most people hear it once and think its a love song. If you listen to the words, thats not really it, but i dont care, its such a beautiful song and somehow still comes off to me as a love song even though i know its not really.

#41- another amazing song. Pretty mellow and just awesome. I dont know how to really explain this song, just listen to it. Its amazing.

Say Goodbye- this is a really amazing song which is basically about sex, but theres certainly more to it than that. Its about someone you could never have, and then you finally do, but so soon they're gone. I cant describe how good this song is, so just listen to it.

Lie in Our Graves- possibly my favorite song out of all of them. I love the meaning, and I also just love the song. Theres a good 3 or 4 minutes of just music- no words up until the end of the song. I can only imagine how amazing this song is in concert.

this entire cd is amazing, and anyone who's a DMB fan should defenately buy it.

Crash certainly ain't trash

What do you do after your major label debut stays in the top 50 for almost an eternity? You make another album that does the same thing and more. Yet again DMB rocks the charts with this awesome display of bangin' rythms and lyrics. These guys are going to be around for a while.
