Matchbox Twenty Band • Page 2

I listened to half of this on my way to work today, and while I'm enjoying it, I miss the days when the band had a little more aggression and energy in their music. I felt that missing when they put out North, and I feel it here.

 

This right here!! exactly my thoughts. still enjoy it, but would like a little more edge to the music.

 

"Rebels" and "Queen of New York City" have been my favorites so far. Not an album of theirs I'll return to a ton, I don't think, as I also wish it were a little less sleepy. I don't need something angsty out of them at this point in their career, just a little more upbeat in spots.

 

They're pretty old at this point haha, I am pleased with this as a late-career album. I never expected it to be back with their glory days, but it's far far far from bad

 

Side note, I just realized that the time between this album and North was basically the same as from More Than You Think You Are to North was, really crazy

 

I had the same thought while listening to it over the weekend. The songs are good, but the album definitely leans more pop than rock. I can't recall one memorable guitar riff and that's unfortunate.

 

Seeing them tonight in Phoenix! First time since 2017.

I liked the new album. I really like both singles, One Hit Love, and Queen of New York City. Pleasantly surprised.

 

Just got my shipping notification for the vinyl. Pleasantly surprised it was only a month delay. After the box set ordeal that feels like nothing haha

 

Same!

 

It's my number 3. I love it so much.
