| | The Music Box: Widespread Panic - Don't Tell the Band (Album Review) |
 | | Unfortunately, on Don't Tell the Band -- Panic's seventh studio effort -- the group fully succumbs to this tendency, and as a result, the album's songs turn from a mere forceful attack into a relentless bombastic bludgeoning. |
 | | Even the album's best track Little Lilly borrows heavily from Everyday's Hatfield, and though it offers a promising beginning to Don't Tell the Band, it also foreshadows the lack of imagination to come. |
 | | What was once a promising young ensemble ready to fill the void left by the Grateful Dead's demise and Allman Brothers Band's ongoing feuds, now seems lost and uncertain. |
