TomH.Apr 1, 2008Anyone who gives this under a 7 is musically ignorant. Matchbox Twenty don't pretend to be an atmospherically intense dramatic emotional band, they make music for people to enjoy. That's the whole point and no-one does it better. Albums don't get nominated for album of the year at the Grammys for nothing.

CarolB.Sep 25, 2005Excellent effort by the Matchbox guys. Every song is good or great. Not one that I dislike. Especially love Bright Lights, Hand Me Down and Cold. These guys can write good music that speaks to a wide range of people. And Rob Thomas' vocals are amazing! I wholeheartedly recommend it.

[Anonymous]Oct 5, 2004I love every song on this album. I own about 90 CDs and this is my favorite by far. If you are a rock fan, and have a taste for good lyrics, and soulful voices - I suggest you get this disc immediately.

EricDJul 7, 2004The first five tracks are the best on any album in decades, and there isn't a bad track on the whole album. Definitely a classic.

ZohaibA.Jan 24, 2004This is a cool CD. If you wait for about 15 seconds on the last song you can here a secret song.

SimonRDec 1, 2003I'd give it an 11 if i could. Friends have said that Disease has an element of a Santana song about it, and since i have found out that Rob Thomas was in fact involved with 'Smooth', i can see why. The album contains variety, yet all the songs share one aspect: they're so damn good!

KatieBApr 27, 2003I love Matchbox Twenty! They are the best band out there! They show so much passion in their work and it helps that Rob Thomas is the hottest front man ever!

HeatherMFeb 12, 2003I love this CD and the fact that it only took an extremely short amount of time to make it is awesome. My favorite tracks that I recommend are "Unwell", "Hand Me Down", and "Disease". Definitely worth your money and time.

MaryFJan 15, 2003I still think Mad Season is there best album, but I also LOVE this cd. Everytime I listeng to the cd, I go back to the nite I saw them in concert! Matchbox Twenty totally ROCKS!!

NoemiSJan 14, 2003In my opinion Matchbox has done it again! They have put out a great third album, without all the hype. They are one of the most talented bands out on the music scene today largely because of their deeply personal lyrics. Hidden treasures of this album in my opinion are Hand me Down, Cold, Could I be You.

DanielMNov 27, 2002Creo que estan siendo muy severos con el match, escucho el disco y en verdad me parece que hay una progresion musicalmente hablando si lo comparamos con el Mad Seasson, todas las canciones estan bien estructuradas, no hay rellenos. Creo que son el estandar a imitar para grupos como The Calling. Creo que es un buen disco
