Query: matchbox 20 conquers sophomore jinx

as only a moderate matchbox fan, i was somewhat skeptical upon buying this album. outside of the 4 radio hits off their first cd, i didnt find much i liked. this cd, however, is satisfying straight through. rob thomas wears his heart on his sleeve, as do most good songwriters, and this is most evident on the slower cuts such as "bed of lies", "you wont be mine", and the album's standout, the pensive "if you're gone". the album does not stray too far from the signature matchbox 20 folk/pop/rock style, and there are enough hooks on this album to firmly embed these songs into your subconscious. if youre looking for tuneful, melodic rock, mad season is the way to go.
