4.0 out of 5 stars Better than what I've heard on the first album, February 27, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: If You're Gone (Audio CD)

Mind you, I've not really been a fan of Matchbox 20. The material from their first album sounded too much like the 2-4 chord College Alterna-pop that I've heard for the last 10+ years. However, songs like "If You're Gone" and "Bent" are a refreshing change of scene in an otherwise bland radio market.

Some fans don't like "If You're Gone" because it sounds like Chicago. Well, I like "If You're Gone" and I like Chicago. When is the last time you heard anyone take an artistic chance on horns (besides Dave Matthews)?

This song is one of my fave's on the album. This is the one song that explains my life 4 mins and 34 seconds. This whole band has something that no other band has. Its an awesome band and an awesome song.

5.0 out of 5 stars Matchbox Twenty has did it again!, June 16, 2001

This review is from: If You're Gone / Bent / Back to Good (Audio CD)

Matchbox Twenty has did it again by creating another top hit. If you haven't already purchased "mad season by matchbox twenty", you should. If you've already bought "mad season" you should buy this EP anyway because it has 2 great live songs. One is "Bent" which was recorded at the Experience the Music Project in Seattle. The other is "Back 2 good" live which was recorded in Australia. Rob Thomas has an unbelievable talent of creating songs personal to him, yet universal enough to relate to everyone and transcend generations. There is also the amazing music behind Rob's words by guitarists Adam Gaynor and Kyle Cook; drums by Paul Doucette; and bass guitar by Brian Yale. Combine all this talent with a few horns and matchbox twenty has the classic rock sound you would hear from such artists as Chicago. GO GET THIS SINGLE!
