Upon five or six listens of the new Dave Matthews Band album, Come Tomorrow, it's more apparent now than ever before:
Dave Matthews Band is the Star Wars of the music world.
Three great albums made a long time ago, in a decade far, far away.
UTTAD, crash, BTCS = Original Trilogy
Everyday = The Phantom Menace
Busted Stuff = Doesn't Count as a DMB Album
Stand Up = Attack of the Clones
Big Whiskey = Revenge of the Sith
Away With The World = Force Awakens
Come Tomorrow = Last Jedi
While they've written a couple of good tunes here or there since the Original Trilogy, just like with Star Wars, you really just wished they wouldn't have messed with anything and just let the original 3 live on their own. Having to sith through "She", "Gaucho", "Dive In", "Dreamgirl", & "Angel" is not worth the couple of good tunes that we've gotten over the years.
But just like Star Wars, Dave Matthews Band is a huge cash cow that consistently brings in the dough no matter what they do... so...
On a more positive note: At least there's longer stretches of time in-between each aural abomination than the rapid-fire pace that they're shoving these cinematic catastrophes down our throats.
