PaulDApr 22, 2005I think this CD is great, obviously. I really do like the contrast between songs like "Lonely No More" and "Now Comes the Night." It's got great dance tracks all the way to mello thought-provoking songs.

MattRApr 20, 2005Thomas really takes the best of Matchbox and mixes it with an exploratory side of himself that made this album necessary. I'm certainly not let down.

LynnBApr 21, 2005The cd is a musical pleasure from beginning to end. Different from Matchbox twenty and great! My favorites at the moment are "I am an Illusion" and "Problem Girl". There is so much to choose from whatever the mood. Great lyrics!!!!

EddieZMay 24, 2005Critics generally have been dissing matchbox 20 from the beginning, so it's not suprising this gets received moderately. I happen to think Rob's a very empathetic artist and it's that skillful ability to almost effortlessly emphasize with his listeners that has made him a cultural Top 40 staple, not to mention one of the most likeable Top 40 voices.

RyanNov 8, 2005a great album, so many styles of tracks make it fresh. Ever The Same is one of those songs that you can listen to over and over

CarlBOct 3, 2005Excellent CD! I've had it for months now and am still entralled with it. I especially love Lonely No More (despite it being played to death on the radio), I am an Illusion and the title track. Can't wait to see Rob perform these songs on tour.

-
JeremyJApr 27, 2005This album is great. I would of liked a little more rock, like his earlier albums, but there is a great mix of all different kinds of music, that all fit together very well.

-
LauraVMay 24, 2005Definately a great solo effort. His lyrics are beautiful, music is soulful. I definately recommend the album. For anyone who doesn't rate this cd at least an 8 seriously doesn't have good taste. Songs I especially like: "I'm an illusion" and "All that I am".

JeffreyBApr 24, 2005Rob Thomas showcases here that: 1) he knows how to write the perfect pop song; and 2) he's got plenty of soul. There's not a bad track on the CD--an all-too-rare occurrence these days.

kevinsDec 14, 2005I thought this cd was excellent. Every song had a different sort of beat and rhthym to it and the cd had a very nice mixture of sad love songs as well as dance beats. Overall a great cd. Thomas doesn't disapoint.

RobynSOct 21, 2005Really like the C.D, not to crazy about the two songs about death, towards the end of the C.D. LOVE track # 3!!!

BlenderThe momentum collapses with ballads that would suit not only his band but even the Backstreet Boys. [May 2005, 124]
-
Even Matchbox-ish numbers like "Ever the Same" sound fresh in this new context.
-
Entertainment WeeklyAlas, the nuance that infuses a good chunk of Something to Be eventually gives way to the hammy, overemotive gestures we've come to expect from Thomas. [22 Apr 2005, p.61]
