Exclusive Ep, once only available only at TARGET stores and no out of print. Excellent collection of non-lp tracks & remixes that some of which were only available on import singles.

First of all, I really respect Rob Thomas. I think he is a fanstastic songwriter and truly is an inspiration to me and my own musical endeavours (I have been a musician for over 20 years.)

But this "album" just really isn't up to par with Rob's talent and abilities. "Something to Be" was a great album, but in many regards it was a departure from Rob's usual styles as experienced from his many years with Matchbox Twenty. "Something More" is even more of a departure. The songs seem very uninspired, especially the supporting "band," which really feels like nothing more than computerized drum-box throw-ins.

I gave the CD one solid play-through with my wife - a Rob Thomas convert thanks to myself - and both of us felt rather dissapointed. You'll probably see my copy up for sale in the near future.

But again - please know that I'm not disrespectful to Rob (I'm a member of his fan club and wow do those people ever get touchy!) but hey, even Tiger Woods has his bad games.

Rob Thomas is a talented artist whom I hope to see more of. Unfortunately In "Something More" he shows us mostly different renditions of the same songs he previously recorded. I won't toss the CD but it won't be on my favorites list. I'd like to see something more than this CD from him.

I love the songs on this CD, just wish there was more to listen to. Better off downloading the MP3s than purchasing the CD. Not much of an album.
