The hugely successful EVERYDAY is a testament to the Dave Matthews Band's persistence and self-awareness in sticking with a sound and style of music that has changed little since its inception. With the exception of certain production flourishes and a more direct approach in the songs' presentation, it's an album that the band could have made anytime in the past decade, which is of course the secret of the band's success--it consistently delivers exactly what's required. And some of what's required this time round is an infectious, sexy shuffle in the form of "When the World Ends", a stadium-sized Bic-balladin "The Space Between", the Matthews speciality stream of consciousness "Dreams of Our Fathers", and a Spanish-tinged "Mother Father" featuring, you've guessed it, Carlos Santana,on flamenco-inflected guitar. Carter Beauford is, as always, a one-man drum tutorial, and Matthews plays the stoner troubadour to perfection throughout. While the hot jamming is somewhat truncated on this outing, it's more than compensated for by the album's focused feel.
