Mar 6, 2011Awesome album, definitely Rob Thomas's most varied work yet. There's a hell of a lot of substance on this album, much more than what you'd expect from a mainstream alternative/pop/rock album. My favorites are "Fire on the Mountain", "Natural" and "Wonderful", but all the songs are great.

NickKAug 1, 2009I don't understand how this album got such a low user score. Each song is unique and awesome.

CarolB.Jul 15, 2009I am really loving this album. Many songs have a strong 80's vibe. The songs are diverse and interesting with great melodies and meaningful lyrics. Love Wonderful, Still Ain't Over You, Give Me The Meltdown, Getting Late. Almost every song. Not feeling Real World 09, but the rest are "wonderful" songs.

JarrellC.Jul 14, 2009I will admit, I have never been a fan of Rob Thomas; I'm not even quite sure as to why I downloaded this album, but I sure am glad that I did. His songwriting his beautiful, and I absolutely adore his voice. My favorites include "her diamonds," "give me the meltdown," "someday," "fire on the mountain," and "snowblind."

DebbieHJul 6, 2009A truly amazing piece of work from Rob Thomas, i loved his first solo album Something To Be, but this just takes it to another level. Instant favourites are Gasoline, Give Me The Meltdown, Natural and Still Ain't Over You.

LenDJul 4, 2009Top notch work from the US's premier young songwriter. This is not MOM rock, not by a long shot. Alternately angry, sad, sardonic, sexy tracks evoke the 80's yes, but with a very modern take on instrumentation and sonics. A must for your CD player this summer. Favorite track: Wonderful - full of brassy horns and sarcastic despair that climaxes in an frustrated blow the roof off climax.

MattD.Jul 3, 2009Rob Thomas gets back to the hookiness he had on his first Matchbox Twenty CD and expands on it.

This dogged sense of purpose does result in a tighter, better record than Something to Be and even it's not a lot of fun, it's not meant to be: it's big music about big issues, even inflating personal issues to the universal.

The Matchbox Twenty frontman’s second solo album showcases all of his admirable middle-of-the-road gifts and offers a glimpse of the possibilities when he explores the more extreme edges.

One doesn't look to the Matchbox Twenty frontman for musical daredevilry, but his second solo disc falls too often into the mom-rock safety net.
