2.0 out of 5 stars
no groove for Dave alone,
By Blue Bottazzi (Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Some Devil (Audio CD)
Some Devil lets us fully understand how much importand the "band" is for the sound of DMB. Actually the disc lacks the groove and excitation of the records of the band. Dave does his best to be nice and clean, but the result is pretty boring, like a poor man editon of U2...Dave (and Trey): stand by your men!

a heartfelt personal vision in a troubled world,
By R. Hutchinson "autonomeus" (a world ruled by fossil fuels and fossil minds) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Some Devil (Audio CD)
I have followed the happy progress of the DMB since the beginning, but only from a distance. This is the first Dave Matthews album I have bought, because of something I read. It was an interview in Rolling Stone, and in it Dave talked about his Quaker upbringing and his anti-war views. He said that this was a major element in his new solo album. It took me awhile, but I've finally heard it, and I am floored! I can't compare it to the many DMB albums, though I gather it is quite different. (Though perhaps more similar to "Busted Stuff"?) The major anti-war statement is "Gravedigger," and it is a great song which could have been used perfectly in "Fahrenheit 9/11." In the notes, Dave says "Dodo" has something to do with how many Americans thought Hitler was a swell guy when he first took power in Germany back in the 1930s. I wish I could decipher the song's lyrics! "Stay Or Leave" and "Too High" are two of the most powerful songs, tapping deep emotions. A great lyric from the former -- "...making plans to change the world, while the world was changing us..." (There are a couple of songs, both "Stay Or Leave" and "Oh" that make me think Dave must have been listening to Jorma Kaukonen's great album "Quah.") The musicianship is fantastic throughout -- the core band is Brady Blade on drums, Tony Hall on bass, Trey Anastasio and Tim Reynolds on guitar, and Stephen Harris on keyboards, programming and production. The Seattle Music Group's strings and horns are used to great effect on many of the 14 tracks, along with the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on "Dodo" and the Total Experience Gospel Choir on "Save Me". Now that I know more about what Dave Matthews is thinking and doing (performing for John Kerry benefits, for instance), I feel even better about the fact that he has such a large enthusiastic following. Peace!

DAVE MATTHEWS ROCKS!,
By shelli (Tonganoxie, KS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Some Devil (Audio CD)
i am dave's biggest fan and let me tell you that when i heard he was going to come out with a solo album i flipped out. dave is the best songwriter i have ever known. i believe that the people out there that dont like him because they feel his music is for preppie frat boys they are just naive and stupid because i am not even close to that and i love dave and i know many others that like him and their not frat boys either. anyways back to my point, what i am trying to say is that if you like blues, jazz and acoustic music mixed with a little bit of classical you will love this cd. i have this in my stereo and i wake up to it every morning. its not like the bands songs but its original and how many artists out there today can you say that about? go out and buy it now!
