What are your thoughts a year later? Do you like it better, worse or hasn't your opinion changed?

About half and half. Im a little biased (more than others) because my favorite DMB song came from Stand Up. American Baby Intro. Gives me chills every time I hear it.

i'm about the same as i felt, which is by no means bad about the album - i like all of it, i still listen to it somewhat regularly

A year already?? Shit, time flies!

I dont mind it, theres a couple of songs which i skip, EWU, Out of my hands.... thats about it actually, i might skip stand up now and again. But i think its a pretty cool album. I like listening to it when im driving on a sunny day, thats when it does it for me.

Yeh i really enjoy it. I like the songs better live, they have a bit more balls, but the album versions are good too. I hope they put a little bit more effort into the next one though.

still dont like it enough to ever listen to it. some of the songs are good live tho, i just wish they had produced them less artificially, meaning i wish they had done them more the way they would perform them.

dont think there is any doub about that. They have already confirmed that they are road testing songs first and im sure we are going to see more meaningful songs after Dave admitting Stand Up songs were shallow. Im excited for the new album already. I hope Sister gets on there, i really like it.

I didn't know they had sunny days in England. :)

I like it for the most part. I do skip some depending on the mood i'm in.

its grown on me, i think these songs need road time to become great.

the next album i predict will be very mellow, open chords and not much band work. a less dark some devil , (can only go on give it away and sister so far,)
