Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King – Dave Matthews Band

Honestly, you cant stop listening and loving this album. Each time you listen to it you are just gonna get deeper and deeper into it.

This is the band’s first studio album since 2005’s Stand Up and the first release since the death of saxophonist LeRoi Moore(R.I.P.).
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 424,000 copies in its first week.
On “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King,” the major difference is felt as much as heard in a deeper, beefier bottom end, “drum beats louder” — into a mantra, and a hook will make sure you’re grooving, tapping your foot n loosing your mind. Beauford and Lessard swing the heaviest lumber of their careers. Electric, rather than acoustic, guitars also add weight. When Matthews’ falsetto vocal threatens to float away on “Seven,” he’s brought back to earth by the band’s newfound toughness.

The album is not without its flaws: Matthews can still be a frustratingly simple-minded lyricist when it comes to lust (“Shake Me Like a Monkey”) or a frustratingly mush-minded one when it comes to the state of the world (“Funny the Way It Is”).Having Mark Batson has had some benefits: the songs are punchier, and Cavallo has given the band a bigger, more immediate sound.

Though the ensemble still flirts with exotic musical strains, they’re used judiciously. The Eastern accents on “Squirm” and the bluegrass banjo on “Alligator Pie” amp up the energy, rather than defuse it

Believe me ladies n gentlemen when i say this, this band will leave an impression in your mind for a long long time and DMB is the worlds second costliest band (First is ‘Rolling Stones’)

This album will stay in my car stereo for a long long time.

Definitely buy, steal ,beg or borrow this one!!!
