"Everybody Wake Up," Dave Matthews Band

Billboard review:

Everybody Wake Up (Our Finest Hour Arrives)DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
Producer(s): Mark Batson
Genre: POP
Label: RCA (CD promo)

Dave Matthews has hooked a lucrative career around some of the sulkiest vocals in popular music today. What a refreshing surprise that "Everybody Wake Up (Our Finest Hour Arrives)" actually rises to the occasion—any occasion—with a sinister, emotive vocal and an apparently politically motivated lyric that warns, "See the man with the bomb in his hand/Everybody wake up." Matthews' vocals are layered into a pretty good imitation of 1980s-heyday Peter Gabriel. What this song needs now is a groundbreaking video to evolve Matthews past his fraternity rock persona. We are all grown up now—the band and fans alike—so we can handle at least a little adventure. —Chuck Taylor

There's really no point to release a single from this album now. Radio shunned them this time, and it sucks. I really like "Everybody Wake Up" but it's just not going bring them back to radio.
