Editorial reviews

Amazon.com
Dave Matthews Band's first album, Remember Two Things, was self-released in 1993, and was reissued by RCA in 1997. Truly serious Dave Matthews fans all have well-worn copies on the original Bama Rags label, and will tell you they bought them from Dave himself. But if you're less of a hard-liner, this package will do nicely. It's a live album, with the exceptions of "Seek Up" and "Minarets," and the band's sound is pretty much all there. So are the radio hits from Under the Table and Dreaming. If you want only one live document, Live at Red Rocks has more key tracks. But no Dave Matthews fan wants only one live document. Bonus Track (of sorts): "Seek Up (Reprise)." --Gavin McNett

Great product!
This CD was great! I enjoyed all of the songs. Although most of these songs are also on some of their other CDs, there were several I had not heard yet, so the purchase was worth it. I have been a fan of DMB since the mid-90s!!! Highly recommend! A+++

Eh
A lot of the same songs from their later albums. It sounds more like the rough draft version of those songs those. Only a couple songs I hadn't heard before and they aren't that good. I would not recommend this CD.

great album......
REMEMBER TWO THINGS is an excellent introduction to the Dave Matthews Band. Some of their best songs are featured here. How would I describe the band, and keep it short and sweet? I would call them a fusion of rock, ska, pop, world beat and jazz all rolled into one. Two of my favorite cuts here are "Ants Marching," a great, up-tempo number, and "Sattelite," which is introspective and melodious. Not only is this a great band, technically, but David Matthews' songs are pure poetry. These aren't typical of the songs you usually hear on the radio. Matthews has a lot to say, and it isn't only about love lost and found. Great album.....

Dave Matthews Band's Debut Album
As a recent DMB fan, I have to give this album 5 stars for its creativity and diverseness. This album is the first album released by Dave Matthews Band, originally released independently in 1993, however, it was re-released in 1997 by a major record company, RCA. The album was recorded live, except for one or two tracks, if you are looking for some of the earliest and most creative DMB, this album is it. Since it's a live album, the band sounds great (like most other live concerts the band performs). If you are just starting out with DMB, though, you might want to pick up a live album with a greater variety of songs from the entire DMB career, since this album is one of their very first recordings. A great album for just starting to get into DMB is The Central Park Concert.

One post claims that the albums cover is hideous, when in fact it is a very creative and artistic album cover. Even though one may pass it for the front of a school notebook or the array of letters shown for security on checks, the album cover art is an autostereogram which, when focused on correctly with one's eyes, shows a pattern of person's hand giving the peace sign. (edited from wikipedia) You sort of have to 'relax' your eyes when staring at it, if you click on the image to enlarge it and stare at it you can sort of see it, but if you go to a record store and try it (or you buy the album) you can see the '3-D' image.

WHY?
Alright, here's the deal. I've never really liked Dave Matthews. I like about two songs. That's it. Sampling this didn't help draw me in any more, that's for sure. It's not any worse than his other stuff though.

However, I just needed to say this: What in the bloody heck were they THINKING with that album cover? I mean, honestly, album covers are supposed to help entice people to buy the album. If I were on the fence about the album, seeing that cover would put me in the "don't buy" state of mind. Obviously diehards are going to buy the album no matter what, but I guess DMB doesn't give a crap about bringing anyone else in if they're going to put out something with that poor of an album cover. Honestly. That's the whole point in the graphic design business--to appeal to the eye and make people want whatever the subject is. COMMON SENSE, jeez.

K. I'm done with my rant.
