5.0 out of 5 stars For long-time fans and newbies alike..., September 17, 2000

By	"rock_freak" (USA) - See all my reviews

Matchbox Twenty is an incredible band, vastly underrated by the rock critics and the public alike. As their new album, "Mad Season", shows, they have a lot more potential than they are credited for and the song "Bent" really makes you feel it. It's one of these great pop/rock songs that could get stuck in your head for days (although it's still not my favorite on "Mad Season"). The B-Side is the acoustic version of their hit "Push" that was previously available on the "3 am" import single and on an import 2XCD version of "Yourself Or Someone Like You". While it is CALLED an "acoustic" version of "Push", it is really a completely new studio mix of the song, with new vocal patterns and instrumental arrangements. Any and all Matchbox Twenty fans must have this one, as the acoustic "Push" is probably the best B-Side the band has put out this far. And of course for those of you who don't own "Mad Season" and just want "Bent" this is a good buy as well. Get this single and enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Matchbox Twenty ..One more Brilliant piece of music., July 21, 2000

By	Bhavesh (Mumbai, Maharashtra India) - See all my reviews

Drive your car in the 6th gear..and drive like a madman in the begining..then cool off in the 3rd gear suddenly still enjoying the pleasure of driving. Thats what BENT is all about it. The single starts off with a great BANG..and then takes turn to the mellow side...keeping the pace and then picking up gradually..giving delightful pleasure to the listener. The lyrics are emotionaly deep and very hurting.Some people might even visualise their life events when they listen to the song. Music is brilliantly composed by the band...4 years of absence really brought in some more quality music from them. Im sure the album too will be brilliantly composed and written. Upon listening to the song..im sure people will have mixed reactions to it ..some might cry..some might smile..some may even go..WOW. Bent is the begining of a new chapter of Matchbox Twenty's carrer. Songs like these which are true from the heart , and a previously hit singles and an album , have sure made matchbox twenty a worldwide recognised band who certainly do deserve a lot of appreciation. Buy the sing " Bent "..hear it..and fall in love with the band. Im sure no one can single your life story like they do.

5.0 out of 5 stars BUY IT NOW!!!!!, April 1, 2002

By	"thecdking" (nc) - See all my reviews

When I first heard this song (Bent) on the radio I knew I had to get the single. I'm not the biggest fan of Matchbox Twenty but I can appreciate their music. The single is like any other single you can get at this price: 2 songs. Those 2 songs are:

(1)Bent
(2)Push(acoustic)

The acoustic version of Push is great. Even to this day I play this cd. And if you never heard of the song, its a mixture of soft and hard rock in a ballad style. What got me into this song right away was the guitar at the beginning and at the end.
