Dave Matthews Band's new CD "Stand Up" is pretty "blah." It's ok as background music for a party, but it has a few songs that stand out, but it really was disappointing. I've been a huge DMB fan in the past, but I just haven't been overly impressed with their music since becoming overly popular, it seems to be getting more and more bland.
Likewise NIN's new album "With Teeth" would have been more aptly named "With Dentures." It's painfully uninsinpring and hard to listen to. Trent lost his edge
on this album, but not for the sake of better music. I bought it for
the 5.1 DVD version of the album and even that's a joke. There's very
little of the back channels in the mix.
One thing each album had going for it was the single disc CD/DVD dual sided bit. I did like that.
