Editorial Review:
Athens, Georgia's second most popular band does a little redecorating here, tightening up its patented sprawling jams into more manageable soundscapes and adding strings and horns to its already expansive musical palette. While losing some rough edges and quirky spontaneity, Widespread Panic manage to provide an intriguing bridge between the old and new sounds of the South. While the band is quick to shrug off comparisons to the Allman Brothers, there's still a loose rhythmic groove that recalls their Macon forebears, especially on "Climb to Safety," which follows a beautiful loser through his loss of faith and attendant redemption. The dark subject matter is what you'd find in any Southern Gothic, but there's a modern twist, a dash of sinister organ, and some undeniable emotional fire. Unlike some of the other entrants in the jam-band school, Widespread Panic are as likely to incorporate a Black Sabbath lick or a Talking Heads rant into a song as they are to purloin a Grateful Dead riff, proving they're more children of the '70s than just another Southern boogie band. --Jaan Uhelszki
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great Studio Effort
The reviewer that trashed it because the other guys contribute vocals is off base. With the exception of The Waker, the boys do a credible job. I think particularly so on Nobody's Loss. Overall, a great Panic release. Being a studio recording it's short on long solos but otherwise a great listen. Fratboy doesn't like Panic at all (see his other review) and his rantings can be ignored (what's tree-hugging got to do with any of this?). If you want to hear some good, earthy, diverse, from-the ... Read More
Rating:  - Appropriate title----their spaciest album
THE BEST SONGS ARE ALSO ON CLASSIC CITY.
Released in 1999, this is Widespread Panic's sixth studio CD. It is 54 minutes long, and the sound quality is very good. It originally came in a cardboard foldout case. The cover has a vividly colored bird with a silver, 3-D, almost holographic background. The little tabs that hold the CD in place broke off almost immediately.
This is an appropriate title, because it has some of their wierdest music. It isn't really spacy, like ... Read More
Rating:  - What the hell is that tree hugger talking about?
Widespread Panic: a real band that defines an entire generation of people. Weekend Hippies? What the hell is that guy talking about? Sure there are a lot of frat boys, but they do not claim to be hippies. I think that there is a great, albeit southern crowd at the shows, which is to say that they are a lot cooler than any Phishy Vermont a-holes.
Anyhow, this album is wonderful, like every other album that WSP has released. The chemistry that grew for 15 years between the six members of ... Read More
Rating: - First impressions definitely make a difference!
When I first discovered Widespread Panic back in 2001, this was the album I listened to. I was blown away with the first and second tracks, "Surprise Valley" and "Bear Gone Fishin'". It just got better and better as the album went on. Panic might take some cues from their rock n' roll predecessors, the Grateful Dead, Allman Bros. and Talking Heads, etc., but they mix it up into a sound that's all their own. After putting this album on repeat for about a month, I finally got to see them live for the ... Read More
Rating: - VERY Impressed!
WOW! That's really all I can say about this album. I've been an R.E.M. Fan since '91. I've heard a lot of things about Widedpread Panic, but never sat down, and listened to one of their Albums. I'm SO glad I finally did! And, that I started with this one. It really is amazing! It's very refreshing to hear some "Real, Good" Music for a change! I don't bother with the radio, or pay attention to who's at the top of the Billboard charts. It doesn't even begin to compare to this! (The same goes for ... Read More
