An' Another Thing

I've been taking time out from steady rotation of Hawksley Workman's lover/fighter, A Perfect Circle's Thirteenth Step, and David Bowie's Reality lately to spin Dave Matthews' new solo disc, Some Devil. I'm impressed, actually. I kind of expected something more like Everyday, with an emphasis on guitars and pop stylings, instead, we've got an album that sounds a lot like a 60-minute version of "Crush" from Before these Crowded Streets. It's soft, melodic, and rather dark, sounding most of the time like Sting being backed up by U2, all of them on valium. I may put up a review proper in the coming days, but I just wanted to note that it's quite a good disc.
