Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
With popcorn acoustic guitars, trampoline fiddles, bumper-car bass lines, and caramel-coated sax, the Dave Matthews Band's major-label debut is like an evening at the fair. "The Best of What's Around" and "What Would You Say" swirl like the amusement-park ride on the album's cover, sweeping the exhilarated and light-headed listener higher as the ride spins faster. "Satellite" glides breezily like the prettiest horse on the carousel, "Ants Marching" runs around hitting the bell with the sledgehammer and winning the largest stuffed animals at the target-range booths, and "Lover Lay Down" is the quietest moment on the disc--like the sun setting on a baby's sleeping, snow-cone-stained face collapsed on her daddy's shoulder. --Beth Massa

Wow! Sooo good,

This review is from: Under The Table and Dreaming (Audio CD)
Well I'd like to first start by saying this is my first DMB album. I had difficulty choosing between this album and crash, but there both excellent choices, you can't go wrong. Anyway, this is an amazing. Every song is hypnotic and and just puts you in a trance you don't want to get of. My personal favorites are jimi thing, dancing nancies, and rhyme and reason. Trust me and everyone else who reviewed this album correctly, it's worth it.

This review is from: Under The Table and Dreaming (Audio CD)
This is probably the most fun Dave Matthews Band album. Most of the songs have a great sing along quality. The playing is loose and vibrant. Even the slower numbers have a melodic sway to them. I think the Amazon editorial review hit on the mood exactly. One can just picture the band onstage at a fair or carnival as children run around and adults listen, dance and sing. Then sitting in the grass listening to the last two tracks fade as the sun sets.... It's understandable why this album vaulted them to stardom. Most casual or non-Dave Matthews Band fans I know all agree this is a great CD. While they may not be crazy about later releases, "the songs on Crash are too long", "Before These Crowded Streets is too dark", "Everyday is too slick", etc, this release is always favorably received. If you are new to DMB, this is the best introduction. If you are a long time fan, this is probably never far from your player.

One of DMB's Best...,
By Troy (PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Under The Table and Dreaming (Audio CD)
On Dave Matthews Band's first RCA release, 'Under the Table and Dreaming', they introduce their listeners to a mellow, yet energetic musical genre of love, peace, and happiness within their lyrics and music. Dave Matthews lyrics are deep and profound, while his voice soars high above the clouds over head, as his acoustic guitar leads the group and requires all the other instruments to revolve around him. Stefan Lessard's bass guitar is like a faint angel stomping it's feet along to Dave's guitar riffs, with Carter Beauford providing hard hitting, syncopated drum arrangements, which make DMB all the more interesting to listen to. Leroi Moore's saxophone sounds will flutter through your ears like a baby crying in the faint distance, while Boyd Tinsley's violin swerves through the tunes and makes a great backing rythmic string section.'Best Of What's Around'= Four stars I reccomend this to people as a first DMB CD. It introduces you to their distinct sounding music, along with some of their more diverse musical genres. Five star all the way.
