iTunes Review
What does a Widespread Panic fan wish for each time the veteran jam band releases a new album? A sustained flash of the sonic alchemy they achieve on stage and Free Somehow (2008) fares well by this standard thanks to Terry Manning’s vivid production and the more integrated presence of recent guitar recruit Jimmy Herring. In the past, the band has released uneven albums with limited appeal beyond Panic’s hardcore faithful. This time, singer/bandleader John Bell digs deeper and draws more blood, particularly with his songwriting. He works well with extremes, leaping with wide-eyed agility from the trashy boogie-strut of “Boom Boom Boom” to the mournful country-rock of the title track. Equally vital is the improved ensemble work captured on roaring work-outs like “Flicker” and “Walk On the Flood,” as well as on more textured excursions like the jazzy “Angels On High” and the disquieting “Dark Day Program.” The band’s extended flights rarely lose altitude here, with the ornately orchestrated “Her Dance Needs No Body” achieving particular brilliance over its eight-plus minutes.

...uhmm...
by 888jghjrt7u56yhbhi have no clue how the heck you guys thinks this is good music...
if i could rate it below 1 star it would be negative 20!!!!!
Missing Michael Houser!
by EatnThis album is ok. It is not as good as Everyday or Til the Medicine... but does have some good. Panic's attempts to replace Houser are becoming annoying. Jimmy Herring is a good addition but this album doesn't show his true colors like he is on stage. It's worth buying but...I would rank it at the bottom, below Ball.
overproduced and messy
by dead_head_8503ive listened to this one dozens of times now; its grown on me a little, but i really just can't get into it. the glossiness and horns that worked so well on earth to america fall flat here for the most part. on "her dance needs no body" for instance, the arrangement is weak and the horns just feel stilted. only on "up all night" do they capture any of the magic of ETA, and is a song that feels more at home on that album. "Three candles", "free somehow" and "already fried" are all pretty good, as well as "dark day program", but none of this is classic material and their is very little of the energy i've come to expect from the panics. herring is a solid performer and is great with the band live, but im also just not feeling a lot of his guitar on this album for some reason. this one's a throw away at best, and dissapointing.
