MattJun 9, 2005Never quite makes his sound gel into something as vigorous as "Smooth" or as well-constructed as the best of Matchbox Twenty.

ScottYJul 14, 2005I liked all the M20 stuff and even some of his side projects. However, for some reason, this just wasn't as good as I was expecting. In fact, it wasn't really worthwhile as a straight pop album. Like someone else said, he's missing whatever it was that he got with M20 and "Smooth".
