Before These Crowded Streets is the latest release from Rock Artist Dave Matthews, and I can only think of one word to describe it... AWESOME!
Before These Crowded Streets opens with a great track, Panatala Naga Pampa, that I suspect will be heard on radio stations everywhere, and deservedly so. It's a really nice track.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Dave Matthews's most impressive releases ever.
Listen to Before These Crowded Streets and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and Dave Matthews is clearly in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 3 - The Last Stop, track 9 - The Dreaming Tree, and track 11 - Spoon.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Panatala Naga Pampa. Wow!
