I enjoyed it. Monsters and the Singing From The Windows song Dave was performing a lot during Covid stood out. Only got to listen once but I think I'll like this one a lot.

It's alright. Better than Come Tomorrow but nothing earthshattering

Hahaha. 

New album is very solid. No stand out songs, but I liked them all. 

We All Believe

Never liked them, and that was long before my heart was broken by my ex, a fanatical fan of the band lol (70+ shows, named her son after the drummer).

Saw them live once. Tix were free, behind the stage. Show was incredibly boring. Each song was 10+ minutes long, jammy, and mumbly.

He does have some good songs, I will admit.

But now I can’t listen to him at all.

I've never been much of a fan either. I did see him live once and thought it was ok. I was surprised at the crowd....maybe 60% of the people paying attention and 40% just fucking around like they were watching the 1pm band at a festival.

It's like any Dead, Phish, WSP type show.  If you're into jam bands and know teh music, it's awesome.  If you don't, well the songs are long and they seem longer.  They aren't 3 minute quick hitters.

Tell me you don't know DMB without telling me you don't know DMB.

Also, if you don't like the band why would you come in this thread? Just want to the be the cool "I don't like _____" guy?

I’ve been going to Dave shows since 1994. Seen them at least 50 times. He pretty much nailed it

Cmon. They are essentially a jam band.  

Are you saying the studio version LITHOG is the same as what they play live? Jimi Thing? Rhyme? They are significantly longer and full of jams.

I am not even sure how this is debatable. They are a quintessential, contemporary jam band.

I guess the only counter is that not every song is jammed.  There are obviously some songs that are still in a short format, like the album version.  One could argue that a pure jam band extends everything, like a Disco Biscuits or someone like that.  But DMB definitely has roots in jam.

Hey #40 on listener supported is shorter than a Bad Religion song!

Phish is a jam band. Phish starts playing a song not knowing where it's going to end up.

DMB is not a jam band. DMB has some songs were the members of the band take solos in a pre-structured sequence.
