by wannabe_writer , Jul 23 '00
Pros: You can't go wrong with Rob Thomas' sultry vocal styling
Cons: A few numbers are a bit uninspired
Those darn Media Play stock boys! They continually tempt me (and usually succeed) to purchase CD’s that fall outside my self-imposed rule of thumb: I only allow myself to buy an album if I know and love three of its tracks. In theory, anyway.

Pros: more varied and experimental than their debut
Cons: still nothing that is very fresh or exciting
When you come out of nowhere and sell 10 million copies of your debut record, as Florida's Matchbox 20 did in 1997, needless to say your sophomore effort is eagerly anticipated, and expectations for said album are almost unattainable. So it is...

Pros: Experimentation and lyrics
Cons: Experimentation and lyrics
Matchbox Twenty’s newest LP, Mad Season, incorporates a change that may or may not appeal to Matchbox Twenty fans. Gone are the hard riffs, heavy drive, and charged lyrics of their first LP, Yourself or Someone Else Like You.

by Montepenny - Top 500, Jun 05 '00
Pros: This is a classic album. Excellent on all counts
Cons: None
Rob Thomas and Co. are back with their long-awaited second album that undoubtedly proves that the curse of the "Sophomore Slump" doesn't always hold true.
After an amazing, hit-infested, chart-topping, must-add-to-your-collection...

Pros: Very singable, catchy, orchestral sound
Cons: none
I had been awaiting the arival of the MatchBox 20 album for almost three years, and so it goes without saying that I bought the CD the first day it was officially released, the first CD I actually have purchased since Napster became widely available....

Pros: A fantastic blend of sounds
Cons: None
First and foremost, let's clear one thing up: There is no difference between the Limited Edition version of Mad Season by matchbox twenty and the regular one!! The CDs are the same (as are the liner notes); the only difference lies in the...

by Neubs , Jun 05 '00
Pros: Three decent songs.
Cons: Sound hasn't changed; Very redundant
Now come on people, how could Rob Thomas possibly top receiving a Grammy for the over-played and over-hyped song "Smooth" with Santana?
Why, he could release a new album with his band Matchbox 20...now there's a thought. Not much has come...

Pros: Beautiful, heartfelt album by a great group
Cons: Not any strong rock singles like on YOSLY
The chorus to the first song on Matchbox Twenty's sophomore album Mad Season explains it: "I'm not angry, anymore." Whereas the huge hit album Yourself Or Someone Like You was almost entirely an expression of anger, Mad...

Pros: Successfully ambitious stylistic divergence
Cons: Slower numbers may disappoint fans
Anyone expecting Matchbox 20 to top the last time Rob Thomas fronted for a song needs to learn to cope with disillusionment. Following up "Yourself or Someone Like You" and Rob Thomas' record-smashing collaboration with Carlos Santana is a very...

Pros: Totally original, style has evolved in a great way, much more talent in this album, orchestra works really well, every song is very, very good
Cons: Some people might not like the new style
Matchbox Twenty has always been one of my favorites, since the days of Push and 3am. Yourself and Someone Like You was a very good album, and it was stuck in my CD player for a very long time, and is still kept in my car. But now, with the release of...

Pros: great sound and voices, lots of action and variety, suspense, surprises and athmospheres
Cons: n/a
And Matchbox 20 succeeded once again in writing another great album!
They also presented their amazing style and superior songwriting with their first album, which I thought was un-top-able - until I heard Mad Season!
You'll be surprised...

by GypsyUK , Sep 05 '00
Pros: More genuine emotion than I thought could possibly be crammed onto one CD
Cons: Makes everything else in your CD collection pale into insignificance!
I may have lived my whole life here in the UK being blissfully unaware of the existence of Matchbox 20 but I know for certain that I would have been the poorer for it. Fortunately the music gods smiled on me and, along with a new boyfriend, came an...

Pros: Great music, Well worth the long wait for release, CD book pictures of Rob and Kyle
Cons: Released during all the Britney Spears hype
It's been almost three years since Matchbox Twenty (or Matchbox 20 as they were once known) stepped into the spotlight with their debut album "Yourself or Someone Like You". "Yourself" spawned an impressive amount of contagious...

Pros: Something for everyone on this CD, emotional and realistic
Cons: After the 13 songs, you'll wish there were more.
If you want a good reason to go and buy yourself a new CD, you've got one now. After their explosive first album, Matchbox 20 does it again with "Mad Season." A loyal Matchbox 20 fan (ever since "Long Day" and Push"), I have...

Pros: fun
Cons: none
Unlike so many other rock artists of modern day, Matchbox Twenty actually produced a second album that is quality. The CD delivers one quality track after another. The music varies, from fast and heavy songs, to a few slow and soft ones. I'm not one...
