Title: Matchbox Twenty gets it right the second time around
Review: After hearing much of Matchbox 20's first album on the radio and never buying it because it was too poppy, I was not anticipating the bands sophomore release. Though after hearing "Bent," the first release off Mad Season, on the radio, I decided to give it a chance. For most good musicians, one album never sounds too much like another. I was hoping that would hold true for the band with the newly motified name, matchbox twenty. Though still sounding a little like a pop album, Rob Thomas, the bands main song writer, took some advanced leaps by blending the bands original sound with its new complex styles. Orchestrations by Matt Serletic also lended to the albums pleasing sound. For all Matchbox Twenty fans, as well as all music lover, I suggest this album become part of your collection.
