Title: Music for soccer moms
Review: Faceless, boring, nauseating, ridiculously commercial. All aptly describe this band's 2nd offering. And as if Matchbox 20 wasn't a bland enough name for a group, "Matchbox Twenty" is even worse.This is the kind of music that drivers of sport utility vehicles might listen to on the way to their corporate, suit-and-tie jobs because they find it "rocking" and "alternative". The song "Bent" serves as a perfect example of what this album is about. Its about as middle-of-the-road as you can get. Rob Thomas isn't "broken" or "depressed", he's just a little "bent" and he needs some nice caring lady to show him a little love. In the land of Matchbox 20, feeling "bent" is probably as bad as things ever get.By the way, they also released a limited edition paper-sleeve version of this album in a stap for a little credibility, so you could also look for that if this is the kind of music you like.
Is the review positive or negative?
