Jam-band vets Moe were able to put the songs found on Dither through their paces on the road before recording them in the studio, allowing them to evolve into the edgy, cohesive form that show the band in their Sunday best. Except they ve surprisingly added a little Saturday Night Fever by enlisting services of DJ Logic, who lends an idiosyncratic texture to the mix. With the exceptions of Rise and Water, most of the songs here have been clipped to manageable size, making this Moe s most accessible album. The band soar to new heights with the road-weary Can t Seem to Find (the sneering vocals and organ recall Tom Petty at the peak of his powers). And while Moe usually pays homage to late 70s with their showy guitar calisthenics, this time they tip their hat to the 80s with a note-perfect rendition of Big Country that s presented without even the merest whiff of irony. --Jaan Uhelszki

rippin - This album is one of my favsit get better every time you listen to it for the first 50 times then is stays as good for the next 50if you can make it 100 times thru, it will loose a little luster, but not much they rule

It s Ok - Dither was my first moe. album, when i first got it i was pretty dissapointed because this isnt at all like the moe. I heard before. It just dosn t show the high energy groove like the other albums. But after i got all of the rest of the moe. cd s I enjoy this one a lot more than i did before. Good songs on this are: Understand, Water, and So long. Songs like: Can t seem to find, New York City, and Tamborine are all kind of country-oriented. While songs like Captin America and Opium are like Rock. I guess thats what makes this a good album in some opinions. If your just getting into moe. go with Headseed or No Doy. if you have many moe. albums, this whould be a nice one to add to your collection.

Not their best, too much Siket - LOS ANGELES STYLE ROCK/POP/COUNTRY ROCK.This is moe. s sixth or seventh studio album, depending on if you count Meat. It was produced by John Siket, who has also worked with Phish. This CD is 73 minutes long, but there is a 14 minute period of just silence. It is embedded in the final track. The song Opium is about 6 minutes long. It is followed by the 14 minutes of silence and then about 2 minutes of an alternative take of Captain America. Because of this gap, and because I don t really want to hear Captain America more than once, I knocked my rating down a star.Many of the tracks sound like copies of other bands. I think that most of these don t play to moe s strenghth. There is the LA country/rock sound, similar to Eagles on Captain America and Can t Seem To Find (which is probably the worst song moe. has ever done). These two songs are also on the live CD set, L and also drag it down.Tamourine sounds like it could have come from JJ Cale and Tgorm sounds like a Bruce Hornsby song. So Long sounds like early Smashing Pumpkins. But, I think this song works because it more along the lines of what moe. does best.Then there is the completely useless cover of the Australian new wave band, Big Country s In A Big Country. It wasn t a great song in the first place, and moe. s version is even weaker.This isn t a bad album and there are a few very good tracks on it. I just don t think it the best that moe. can do. And, the best tracks on this CD are also available on the live CD sets, so I would get those instead.

MASTERPIECE!?!?!?!??? - MORE LIKE A FINGERPAINTING!! A really bland one done by a child who has recently begun pueberty and become akward. Understand is a hell of a song though.

moe. is a good live show - However, I kind of have a problem with their lyrics, they often seem like they were written before the song and they don t always fit with the music (and usually aren t very deep or unique, mostly I m on the road again -type fare). The singer is pretty good, though (pretty sure he s the bassist)ALSO, The Faker- hey, Welcome this is a Farmouse. After Phish released their No Woman No Cry clone, Moe. comes out with this, and change the chords around a bit, a bad song.I love to see Moe. live, they always are fun, but I don t think they are great songwriters, their stuff sounds better during the jams, that s what I m listening for. They sometimes can t help sounding derivative, mostly when playing a rockin tune (Mexico, Plane Crash, Capt. America - all pretty good, but hardly very original)DJ Logic - who is this guy? Every third show I hear about he s there spinning over a jamband. He sounded pretty good with MMW, he doesn t always find his place, though.
