Album Notes
The DualDisc version of STAND UP includes a short feature on the making of the record, and the entire album in 24-bit stereo.
This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
Dave Matthews Band: Dave Matthews (vocals, guitar); Boyd Tinsley (violin, electric violin, background vocals); Leroi Moore (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone); Butch Taylor (piano, Fender Rhodes piano, keyboards); Mark Batson (piano, organ, keyboards, Moog synthesizer); Stefan Lessard (bass guitar); Carter Beauford (drums, percussion).
When the members of the Dave Matthews Band commenced recording STAND UP, they did so with the express intent of creating an album markedly different from their past efforts. To this end, they hired R&B/hip-hop producer Mark Batson (Eminem, India Arie) and started down a path of experimentation that re-defined the group's creative process.
Whether on the loop-like electric mandolin lines on "American Baby," the spooky, slowed-down vocal on "Stand Up (For It)," or the psychedelic echo effect on the chorus of "Everybody Wake Up (Our Finest Hour Arrives)," artistic freedom is in the air here, and the musicians sound like they're having the time of their lives. Even Matthews's idiosyncratic vocals are looser and friendlier, and his lyrics seem more in sync with the music. In fact, the album's overall sense of liberation and quirkiness lends it a sound reminiscent of Mitchell Froom's work on Los Lobos' landmark KIKO. Of course, longtime fans of the Dave Matthews Band will find all of their favorite elements here, including syncopated, world-music-inspired grooves, jaw-dropping drum chops, a few extended jams, and the dark, immediately identifiable singing of Matthews himself.
Editorial Reviews
[T]he disc hopscotches among a dizzying array of sounds and approaches... - Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
3.5 stars out of 5 - [T]here's lots of enlightened riff-rock and splashes of color....The band's singular groove is as self-sustaining as ever...
Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 5 -- [N]ow they're changing...to folk-funk/hardcore-gospel! The fundamental is the intimacy gathered around Matthews' new frontporch growl.
