I'm not even going to try to pick favorite songs from this CD. I
liked "Where Are You Going" before I heard it on this CD, so that
doesn't count. As I write this, I've got "Busted Stuff" playing in my
head, but that may just be because it's the title song.
And, it comes with a DVD, which I was mighty impressed by. Probably
because I just recently bought a DVD player. It contains live
performances of "Grey Street" and "Bartender," and an audio only version
of "Bartender" — which seems kind of strange to throw on a DVD, but
there ya go.
My one complaint is with the liner notes. If you want to read the
lyrics, you'll have to go online. They're in the notes, but they are
almost impossible to read. The text is nearly the same color as the
background on each page. This may be very artistic, but it's just
annoying to those of us who like to read lyrics.
In short, if you're a DMB fan, this CD has lots of yummy DMB goodness
for you to enjoy. If you're not — what's the matter with you? Go sort
out your issues, then come back and give this a listen.

I'm so glad "Blogcritics" exists. It rounds up every single hack blahg writer and confines them all in one space which I can easily avoid.
Seriously, if Dave Matthews read a review that actually used the phrase "yummy DMB goodness" to describe his latest album, he'd puke faster than I did.
