I used to like these guys in college, then stopped following them after Straight On 'Till Morning- an album which, IMO, is half great and half dull.
Recently, I picked up their last album, Bridge, because it was cheap and was very pleasantly surprised. While they got famous for being something of a jam band (though never to the point of Phish or even Dave Matthews), I like them best when their songs are tight and hard-hitting. Bridge is a highly focused, melodic, and clever set of songs. My favorite Blues Traveler album so far, and I'm a fan again.
On Tuesday, they come out with a new album. Anyone else looking forward to it?
