iTunes Review

After selling some 12 million copies of their first release, Yourself or Someone Like You, it’s surprising that Matchbox Twenty waited nearly four years before releasing their sophomore follow up, Mad Season. But as it turns out the gap didn’t hurt either their songwriting or their sales as this release went platinum many times over on the strength of these 13 radio-friendly tunes. Featuring catchy melodies, sharp riffs, and lots of big choruses, this album is a bit brighter and more dynamic than their guitar-crunching debut, with more keyboards and even some horns thrown in for texture. The real constant is Rob Thomas’ rich voice, which is truly the band’s calling card and the sound around which these songs, most of which Thomas wrote, are based. A consummate mainstream arena rock singer, he’s smooth in all the right spots on the ballads and husky and driving on the rockers, and he can belt out a tune without going overboard with contrived emotion. A solid collection of modern rock done well.

LOVE IT

I grew up listing to this album (it wasn't relesed in 2005 like iTunes says.) I really really really like MB20. One of my favorite parts about them is that all the songs have real meaning unlike so many of todays songs. My favorites are If your'e gone, Mad Season, and Bent but the whole album worth buying.

Love It!

I love this album! This seems to be their least popular album, but it is still amazing! My favorites are "Last Beautiful Girl," "Angry," and "Mad Season," not to mention the singles, like "Bent". To me, the album is addicting and doesn't get old as fast as the others.

Great

This one is probably one of the greatest albums of all time!

Upon the release of their debut album, Yourself or Someone Like You, in fall 1996, Matchbox Twenty was pigeonholed as one of the legions of post-grunge guitar bands that roamed the American pop scene in the middle of the '90s. As their first single, "Push," climbed the charts, it was widely assumed (at least by cynical critics) that they were a one-hit wonder, but Yourself or Someone Like You continued to spin off singles well into 1998. By that time, the group's blend of '70s arena rock and early-'90s...
