It's tempting to label the Dave Matthews Band as torchbearers of the Grateful Dead's moderate rock fusion and send them off on the next summer tour featuring either Blues Traveler or the Spin Doctors. But there is more at work here, particularly on the band's second major-label release. Crash pairs soothing sounds (flute, acoustic guitar, six-string bass) with a dark emotional undercurrent. The South African (by way of Virginia) frontman reveals a rare intensity on the title track and the free-form "41," while the group shows that it's not afraid to let loose on songs such as the stirring "Too Much." Producer Steve Lillywhite adds an impressive sheen to the recordings. — Aidin Vaziri

- Great CD!
- I can't believe how much I like this CD. I am a new fan and asked a friend who is a fan for the name of the CD to start listening to their music and this was the one.
It's great - start to finish.
I only wish I'd discovered this band sooner.

- DMB's Most Universal Record
- There is no doubt in my mind that this particular album is the one that defines Dave Matthews Band. I imagine we will be hearing "Two Step" for the rest of our lives. An awesome song about two lovers at the end of the world. Also about enjoying life and treating it as it is, a gift. There really are no bad days, you have a bad day… More reviews
- Reject the rejects - I am a Proud Monkey!
- Before writing my review I read through most of the folks that rated this album one star. Basically, their brilliant analysis of this record amounts to "this stuff is popular so of course it sucks!" and "these guys aren't real musicians!" and "Dave can't sing". Okay, if you don't like the singer's voice for any band it's difficult or impossible to listen… More reviews
- Ordinary
- A couple of good songs but nothing much. Dave seems to thing that the more instruments that you put on a track all playing at once,the better it sounds. I don't agree. Go for his acoustic tracks.… More reviews
- DMB more than just a jam band. CD worth every pennny.
- I would like to state that I am a Dave Matthews fan and own all of his albums. Crash is hands down not only my favorite DMB album but on my top list of all cds (I own over a 1000 cds).
The DMB is known as a touring band that can take any song and turn it into a 10 minute jam. Most of the crowd favorites of any… More reviews
