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

Two Step: 9/10 - A classic 3. Crash Into Me: 10/10 - One of the best DMB songs 4. Too Much: 7.5/10 - Just a great fast tempo song 5. #41: 10/10 - Without a doubt, one of the greatest songs out there 6. Say Goodbye: 7/10 - Defintally worth listening to 7.
