MUSIC REVIEW

Dave Matthews has spent some time alone to work on a solo album entitled “Some Devil.” The tunes sound more subdued and depressing than the jazzier, more upbeat sound most of his fans are used to.

This is Dave's first solo album, so no one should expect it to be just another Dave Matthews Band album, but instead should expect something different from a musician that's in the Dave Matthews Band.

Dave's own flow is different from the band's flow, and it is nice to experience his individuality. The lyrics seem a little more depressing on certain songs. It is nice to see a darker side to him‚ though it shouldn't be a constant thing.

The CD is worth checking out, especially if you are into the whole “pop-rock” genre. Do yourself a favor and check out some good music, rather than the normal junk that eats away at your brain cells.
