This new release by Matchbox Twenty leans toward a rockier edge and away from the soulful sound of SMOOTH, YOU'RE GONE, PUSH and BENT. The first 5 songs on the cd....FEEL, DISEASE, BRIGHT LIGHTS, UNWELL and COLD all are heavy on percussion and intensity. The second half of the cd along with a hidden 13th track is slowed down and contains more of soulful sound from their last effort....with this new release and Rob's terrific vocals it lets it be known that this band is still a force to be reckoned with in modern day pop/rock. I look forward to more cd's by this great band!
