WOW!
Review Score: 








(10/10)
Okay, first let me tell you that matchbox twenty is a band unparralelled by any band of the past or present. seriously don't think any artist will match what they have done. Second, I don't think there will ever be a greatest hits collection because if there were it would have to be a three disc or more set featuring every song they have ever written. There is not a bad song in there library. If you don't have all of the CD's, buy them on amazon or at a store. You won't be let down. The CD starts off fast with the wonderful "Angry" which is only preparing you for what is to come. It is one of the weakest songs on the album, but it starts the album perfectly and. Then comes the incredible "Black and white people which completely destroys "Angry" This song should have been a single, and is one of the best songs on the album, or of the last fifty years. Following it up is "crutch", which is kind of like the sequel to "angry" to, and proves to be about the same in the goodness area. Then, just when you think the rest of the album might be like track's one and three, "Last beautiful girl" comes on and then you are truly hooked to the end of the album. This is another one of the best. Then comes one of the three songs on the album that everyone knows. "If your gone" is a fantastic and moving ballad. It was the third song off the album released as a single. It is really good, but nothing will prepare you for what comes next. "Mad season" the title track and the second song release as a single is possibly the best song on the album, and one of matchbox twenty's best. It is such a great upbeat masterpiece, that if you don't like it, you should get airlifted to the closest medical center because something its wrong with you. "Rest stop" is another one of the best on the album, and continues the albums on going streak. It's such an incredible piece of music you may think that matchbox twenty has alreay shown all of it's best songs, and the rest of the album won't be that great. You are wrong. You, believe it or not, have already seen the worst. Next up is the song that challenges "Mad season" as the best, "The burn" and it may even beat it. It is such a fantastic song that you could listen to it a million times and it wouldn't get old. This ALONE is worth the price of the album. Next comes the first song that was released as a single,"Bent" and blieve it or not, is one of the weakest songs on the album. I loved the first matchbox twenty CD, and after hearing this song, I thought that they had only managed one great album. I was wrong. Next comes "Bed of lies" a great song like all the rest. The lyrics are pretty amazing in this one, mad season, and "the burn". Then comes the amazing ballad that is "Leave" a song that gets better with every listen, and then the CD charges right in to "Stop" one of the harest tracks, and one of the best. I really cannot explain the sensation listening to this song gives me, and then fianlly, after the musical ride of a lifetime, comes the finaltrack "you won't be mine" which is the perfect song to close out the album.
In the end, mad season does exactly what it should. Improve one the original, and states that there is no such thing as a sophomore slump.
