If you buy one album.......

Review Score: (10/10)
.....make sure its this. After such a long wait for the second album, upon first listening I had mixed feelings. The sound was somewhat different on certain tracks to those on the previous album, such as Mad Season and Last Beautiful Girl. But after further listening the CD hasn't left the player.

When you're gone, Bent, Leaving and Rest Stop are great tracks, the lyrics are superb. I can't beleve that in the UK hardly anybody has heard of them!

After the success of Smooth over here hopefully Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20 will get the recognition they deserve.

Without fear of contradiction, by far and away the best band around at the moment, hopefully the third album won't take as long.
