Dave
Matthews
Group delivers solid
sound in 'Away
From the World
Trent Johnson
Intern
With a mix of funk, rock and
bluegrass, Dave Matthews Band
has returned, delivering a powerful
album with numerous tempos and
differing sounds.
"Away from the World," the band's
eighth studio album and first album
since 2009, hit stores Sept. 11, bringing
the band's creative take on music back
to pop culture.
Dave Matthews formed the band
donning his name in Charlottesville,
Va., in 1991. The group released their
first studio album, "Under the Table
and Dreaming," in 1994, spawning
five singles.
Though the latest album is not much
different from its previous work, Dave
Matthews Band put together 11 killer
tracks touching on subjects of hope,
fear and of course, love.
The album gets rolling with the
song "Broken Things," a fast-paced
tune that delivers lyrics concerning
a couple struggling in a relationship.
The highlight of the track is how
lead vocalist and guitarist Matthews
begins with an electric guitar riff that
eventually eases off, making way for
a beautiful violin solo.
This moment in particular show-
cases the band's creative ability to use
multiple instruments in various roles.
"Mercy," the album's single released
in July, delivers a more melancholy
tune than that of the first track.
The song offers motivational words
as it starts slowly and builds to a plateau
of electric sounds in the middle, finally
settling down before the end.
The track peaked at #95 on the
Billboard Top 100.
The best music on "Away from the
World" is offered in the song "Sweet" It
features Matthews and his ukulele, and
provides a gorgeous singular sound
that continues for over half the song.
The song is also the most different
on the album and delivers a special feel
when compared to the rest of the tracks.
The album ends with the song
"Drunken Soldier." It is easily the
longest song on the album and clocks
in at more than nine minutes.
Though the song does begin to drag
on at the five-minute mark, it offers
numerous changes of pace coupled
with an abundance of sounds contrib-
uting to the song's underlying message
of being yourself.
Though some of the songs sound
similar to their predecessors, most of
"Away from the World" offers fans
of the world-renowned band exactly
what they want classic Dave Matthews
Band.
The boottom line is, fans of the band
should follow their instincts and pick
the album up.
If people are late to the Dave
Matthews party and are looking for
a smooth sound with some notoriety,
they should also snag the album and
give it a shot
