Title: Dictionary definition of "mediocre"
Review: I read a review of this album that described it as a masterpiece. If this album can be considered a masterpiece, then the state of rock music is in a sorry state as we are on the cusp of a new millenium. This album is not horrible - although I've grown to hate Matchbox 20 after the excessive radio play they have received - it is simply mediocre. 'Push" and 'Long Day' are alright songs, but the album as a whole is pretty dull, and it doesn't get any better after repeated listens, either. Also, no matter what the fans out there say, the lyrics really aren't that deep - they're pretty simple. For instance: "I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho...I wish the real world would stop hassling me." I'm 23 years old and these lyrics even sound pretty immature to me.
Is the review positive or negative?
