Editorial Review:
Exclusive import edition of their 2001 album now includes a bonus 5 track Live EP. The Live tracks were lifted from their Labor Day Radio Show and are different to the US Live album 'Live In Chicago' CD. Bonus Live tracks, 'What You Are', 'I Did It', 'Satellite', 'Everyday' & 'The Space Between'. 17 tracks in all. Packaged in a limited edition slipcase.
Description of Everyday:
With three years passed and a new producer at the helm, the Dave Matthews Band find themselves stretching beyond the borders of Before These Crowded Streets to more emotionally explorative territory. On Everyday, Matthews's clenched-jaw delivery has an unrelenting constancy that's cunning and determined. "I Did It" opens the CD in an aggressive groove, while "When the World Ends" follows with clipped licks that dive into a muddier, open-flowing chorus. From there on out, the floodgates open into something that often recalls Peter Gabriel, which is ironic, given that the band replaced producer Steve Lillywhite, whose work with Gabriel is legendary, with Glen Ballard, whose work with Alanis Morissette is of equal note, if not acclaim. The album is Gabrielesque in scope, from Matthews's deepening rasp to the epic instrumentation. Yet, what's lacking is Lillywhite's ability to capture a sense of naked honesty. Instead, Ballard dosses down the tracks in designer-suit production, unable to save a band that might simply not be up to the task on such an ambitious sonic endeavor. That, combined with Matthews's tendency to eschew conventional hooks, leaves the album stalled between the group's jam-band compulsion and radio-friendly packaging. To capture the latent majesty of this album, you're going to have to hear it live, and with this band, that's always been precisely the point. --Beth Massa
Everyday Reviews:
This album is by the record label, not the artist 
2009-05-14 - I've been a DMB fan since before they were popular, and this is the album that I refused to let people play on my stereo in college. First of all, the cover makes me want to throw up in my mouth. Some of the songs are alright, but the whole album has a feel that leaves a bad taste in my mouth (again my vomit) DMB wanted to put out Lillywhite Sessions, but it was too "real" and "good." So they forced the band to record an entire new album of dull, watered down crap that turned into this album. Luckily, the forces of evil were thwarted and more people downloaded Lillywhite than bought this album.
Disappointing
2009-04-04 - Most of their tracks are not so catchy, its amazing to know a band that'll come up with a track as good as "Satellite & Space between" wouldnt have much more nice tracks.
Just Simply Great Music 
2008-07-08 - Everyday is a great record. Though I don't believe it showcases the DMB in the manner of which I prefer, I can still judge the quality fairly. Truth is, this album rocks from start to end.
The Space Between is the song that got me into DMB and the descriptions of a disfunctual relationship that survives because of a focus on the few good moments is real life. When The World Ends is a stunning song about a couple in love at the end of times and all the things they're doing until and while the world is in dissaray. (Side Note: I think Two Step is better though, it's far more powerful and also about a couple in love to the end of the world)
So Right, Fool To Think and Dreams Of Our Fathers help the album to stay strong to to finish.
Now for the only down side to this release. It can become quite repetitive at times and if you listen closely you can almost tell where the directors or who ever told them "Okay we got what need, we'll loop this"
This is still a great album though.
my favorite Dave Matthews album 
2008-03-13 - I've never been a huge fan. Dave's voice annoys me after a little while. I do think this is my favorite album by them. Many fans don't seem to like it but I can't understand why. Angel is my favorite track on here. This album got me into their other work which I had previously written off.
Throw it away
2007-11-30 - I've been a fan of the Band since '95, and I honestly tried listening to this album, but it just sucks too much. It's a shame that the Band doesn't even realize it and they shove the songs down your throat when you go see them live.
