All Music
By leaving behind the key elements that defined their music, DMB has revealed that they can hit a deeper emotional chord and, in the process, deliver what's unquestionably the best album of their career.

Blender
It’s a good wallow in the sad times of a sensitive guy.
-
Rolling Stone
Sometimes simplicity is the best route to the heart of the song.
-
Slant Magazine
While Busted Stuff is undeniably a step back from the band’s previous work, it all looms high above the everyday fluff of it's previous album.
-
AV Music
The unreleased collection of two-year-old songs showcases a deeper, darker, and more compelling side of Matthews.
-
Sputnik Music
Although “Busted Stuff” was a huge improvement from blunder “Everyday,” there just appears to be something missing from their earlier work.

Sputnik Music
This is a warm welcome home to fans of the "older" DMB who were put off by the much more commercially viable Everyday.
-
Billboard
The new collection shows Matthews offering far more soulful vocals than he has previously.
-
Pop Matters
Matthews's lyrics on the new album are very careful, soft and poetic metaphors filled with love, death, despair, hope, strength, weakness and everything in between.

Don't Burn The Pig
It's almost hypnotic. You can let it play in the background and just enjoy the calm melody, or listen closely, and hear some really interesting lyrics.
