Title: A huge disappointment for this Matchbox 20 fan
Review: Mad Season sounds like a rushed effort to me and a mediocre album at best. Some of the songs are good, but not great and some sound like they belong on an "easy listening" station. Even the best songs on this album aren't even close to the quality of those on their last album. It almost sounds like you are listening to songs that didn't make the cut for their first album, "B side" songs. Even their radio hit "Bent" pails in comparison to "3 AM" off their first. The entire album lacks energy and catchy tunes which their first album was so noted for. In fact, this album gets down right boring after a few listens. Rob Thomas is an excellent singer, but could not make up for this albums below-average song writing.
Is the review positive or negative?
