So I went to heaven, sorry, Amoeba recently and picked up the latest offering from one of my long-time favourite bands, Dave Matthews Band. In my eyes they can do no wrong. One of the best live acts I've ever seen, consistently superb albums and Dave is a truly lovely guy when you meet him.
I say all this, as I'm not as instantly taken with this latest album. I can't put my finger on what it is but it's just lacking something for me. It somehow feels tame. It might be the mix. I'm really not sure. I'm being harsh of course, but I look forward to their new work so much that I've no doubt built this album up to a point where it was always going to disappoint on some level. Maybe it's a grower and I just need to give it some time for it to force it's way into the reckoning of some of my personal favourite DMB albums. If it's time it wants, then time I shall give it. I really want this to be a winning album. I hope it will grow on me. I hope. No I'm sure. It doesn't have to be my favourite or their best. I just need to like it more than I do right now. It will happen...
