Matchbox Twenty really came back within the past year with their album More Than You Think You Are. Their is no doubt that Rob Thomas and everybody else in the band continues to showcase their true colors. With their latest song, Unwell, it is a tender and not too heavy Rock ballad. I absolutely love the animated video reflecting how being a little unwell can really be exciting and completely realistic. Still, it is just a shame that there really wasn't anything else tha could come out with a video that exciting.

I will admit to bias, being a die-hard MB20 fan, but the reasons for my loyalty are affirmed on this disc. The band has evolved from their earlier, still playworthy hits. By this I mean that Rob Thomas and fellow band members have allowed their "maturing" (who wants to be *older*??) to catch up with both lyrics and sound. Their last cd "Mad Season" was magnificient with the addition of horns, and when I first played this cd through, I was disappointed to have none of that. However, the blend of harmonic voices along with a shiver producing cameo by some of the best Baptist singers of all time (on the song "Downfall") prove that the band continues to expand their range.

There are a couple songs on the disc that don't appeal to me quite as much--but the rest have been played and replayed many times. Since I am almost 40, I feel safe in recommending this disc as a gift for any of my fellow generation.

YES MATCHBOX 20 IS STILL MY FAVORITE BAND!! I REALLY LOVE THE SINGLE "UNWELL", AND I LIKE THE WELL-WRITEN LYRICS, AND ITS NOT A CHEESY SONG IT HAS A MEANING TO IT. MATCHBOX 20 ROCK!!!!!!
