Sell 10 million copies of your debut album and you might find yourself putting on a few airs. Evidence that it's happened to matchbox twenty can be found in the new, spelled-out format of their all-lowercased name and the pretentious insertion of that name into the title of this, their sophomore set. The level of popularity achieved by their 1996 debut, Yourself or Someone Like You, posed a more profound problem, though--should they follow in the footsteps of that smash effort, or strike out in a different direction? To their credit, the Orlando quintet puts their massive popularity on the line by opting mostly for the latter course: there are no obvious retreads here of earlier hits such as "Push," "3 a.m.," and "Real World"--or of "Smooth," the multiple-Grammy-winning Santana hit penned and sung by matchbox frontman Rob Thomas. Instead, the album sports a nice mix of material that is catchy, but may take a little longer to settle into your memory banks, such as the moody yet intense "Bent," the horn-driven rocker "Black & White People," and several songs examining various aspects of relationships, "If You're Gone," "Rest Stop," and "Bed of Lies." Whatever the members of matchbox twenty want to call themselves, these guys may yet be able to have it all--artistic growth as well as massive sales. They're not headed for Hootieville just yet. --Daniel Durchholz

Not amazing, but has AMAZING moments.......2007-01-25

Okay, maybe I'm not really authorized to write a review on this album. I don't even really own it, I just borrowed it from the library. However, I loved a few of the songs so much I bought them from iTunes. Songs like "Leave", "If You're gone" (the hit frequently heard on the radion), and, most importantly, "You Won't Be Mine". This song is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. It's one of my very favorite songs. It's SO pretty, and I love the orchestral arrangement. Rob Thomas does a fantastic job on the piano in this number. The bad thing about the version that you can purchase from iTunes is that the end is cut off, in order to make the song shorter, because the song on the album seems to end, but then there are three minutes of silence, and the orchestra comes in again. Rather strange, maybe, but a beautiful part of the song that you cannot get on iTunes.
Apart from these songs, there are none that particularly stand out to me. I do enjoy "Bent", "Angry", "Bed Of Lies", and "Crutch", but not enough to go out and buy the CD. They are nice in small doses, but not worth the money. The chord progressions seem not quite finished, almost, but the lyrics are very meaningful, which makes up for it in part, but not entirely.
In conclusion, my final rating for the album is three stars for several outstanding numbers ("You Won't Be Mine"!!!), and a whole lot of okay ones.
P.S. "Black and White People" is not, as I thought at first, a rather racist title-it's refering to the minds and/or souls of people... Black and white as opposed to technicolor, you might say. :)

it's unnerving.......2006-12-25

It's not coincidental that Mad Season begins with the hard-driving rock & roll and the suppressed, denied, explosive anger of 'Angry'.

Not coincidental. Rather an announcement that the fabulous band Matchbox Twenty is back and is still who they were. Only better, if that's possible.

They're still remembering:

'So scream you, out from behind the bitter ache
Heavy on the memory, you need most'

'Black and White People' continues this heavily-caffeinated album, with its brass back-up, upbeat tempo, and enigmatic lyrics:

'If it's just that you're weak
Can we talk about it
It's gettin' so damn creepy
Just nursing this ghost of a chance
The fiction, the romance
And the Technicolor dreams
Of black and white people'.

OK, then. I think we need some color commentary.

Or not. Because the anger resumes with highly intelligible clarity on the next track, 'Crutch':

'Man I feel like hell so come on over
Be a love machine and I could be your friend
Ain't no shame feel strong for one another
Make a real true color come end to end then
God damn, change of pace
I think there's still a piece of my heart on your face
It's a shame to let it waste
How does it taste? How does it taste?

I don't want to be the crutch
One step from down
I don't want to be the crutch
One step from down, down, down, down, down'

It's too earlier to tell how this emotionally raw self-disclosure will wear. Will we hum 'Crutch' in 2025?
But for now, the golden appeal of Matchbox Twenty derives from the fact that they write this stuff down as the feel it. And then they sing it to really, really good music.

One hopes, for their sake, that they find some mutuality, some enduring reconciliation of love and self-interest, some peace. One hopes for the music that they don't make this discovery too soon. Not, say, before one more album like this one.

Alas, the boys of Matchbox Twenty are only sure of one thing: that hearts will continue to break. In this, they are the quintessential children of their generation:

'It won't be the first heart that you break
It won't be the last -- beautiful girl
The one that you wrecked wont' tak you back
If you were the last ...

This will all fall down
Like everything in the world
This too must end
And all the words we said
We can't take back.'

But they were only words, or at least words is all that's left because the stuff of those words has gone. Again. Leaving only loneliness and a sing-able melody line. Good grief, guys, didn't it ever go right, just once? Didn't it last?

No? OK, then. Please keep writing, singing, recording. We need to hear more of this.

No relenting. 'If you're gone' continues what looks like a MAD SEASON theme if not a Matchbox Twenty dominant motif. Only this time, the loss comes with a hint, a whisp, a remote possibility of reconcilation:

'If you're gone, maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby, you need to come home
Cuz there's a little bit of something me
In everything in you'

But not too much hope:

'I bet you're hard to get over
I be the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need more than you mind'

Good grief, they captured the loss, didn't they?

The eponymous song of the album is actually quite forgettable. It's kind of a foil to the hauntingly beautiful 'Rest Stop', arguably the song we *will* be humming in 2025:

'Just three miles from the rest stop
And she slams on the brakes
She said I tried to be but I'm not
And could you please collect your things ...

She said: while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio
And wondering what you're dreaming when
It came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought - hell, if it's over ...

Jus three miles from the rest stop
And my mouth's too dry to rage
The light was shining from the radio
I could barely see her face
But she knew all the words that I never said
She knew the crumpled-up promise of this
Broken-down man, and as I opened the door ...'

This is the selective verbiage of abandonment that isn't supposed to come to men's pens until they've turned forty-five and suffered enough for poignance.

But it keeps on flowing out of the tracks of this magnificent CD. Hear 'The Burn':

'I thought about
Leaving but I couldn't even get outa' bed ...

Thought about
Singin' but I couldn't remember all the words ..

So I wonder how I ever got the burn
Everything and everyone I needed before
Tryin' to get a handle on a reason to shine
Pickin' up the pieces that are falling behind takes time'

There's a sad, almost dissolute self-absorption in all of this, but one that finds its way quickly outward to the lips and hips of Matchbox Twenty's fans and followers. Like the biblical psalms (though these work there way more quickly towards hope), the typical ballad in this CD is intensely personal, yet offered up to a wider community to words that they can instantly claim as their own. There is *almost* not a miss on this entire album, the headline track laid aside for one moment.

'Bent' comes closes to describing the trauma of their voices in a way that takes some degree of responsiblity:

Yet even the confession of being 'bent' ('So can you help me, I'm bent // Im' so scared that I'll never get put back together') is a plea for community, for togetherness, as though the solution to bent-ness is not one to be found in solitude or self-reform:

'If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk

If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around, I'll smile again'

There are other deeply soulful tunes. 'Bed of Lies'. 'Leave'. 'Stop'. 'You Won't be Mine'. In fact, one rattles on from one emotionally draining track to the next, marveling that MT can keep up the pace.

But they do. These dudes have articulated a life, a throbbing, mobile, abandoned, wishful, painfully memorable pain.

Embedded in this sea of music, listening to it over and over, one hopes for the men of Matchbox Twenty that they truly are 'marking it down to learning'.

There Isn't a Single Bad Song........2006-07-05

Out of the Some odd 200 CD's I own and listen to, this ranks in the top five. Rob Thomas' vocals draw you into each and every song and demand your attention. There are some awesome guitar riffs and the beat to every song is original and catchy. I enjoy the full band sound on "Black and White People", the lyrics to "If You're Gone", and who can NOT like the funky beat in "Mad Season"? With hits such as "Bent" and "Crutch", this CD is too great not to own. Like another reviewer said. "Go buy this. Now."

Awesome Album!.......2006-04-15

I bought this CD after hearing "If You're Gone".
I'd never heard of Matchbox 20 before that track. I absolutely fell in love with the whole album. Great listening!

Crossing the Threshold From Pop Success to Serious Artist Expression.......2005-12-02

The fact that these guys hit the charts with their debut release "Yourself or Someone Like You" with such Pop appeal didn't impress me enough to run out and buy this second release; I received it in a bulk buy on eBay. One listen to this artful, soulful expression of the guy's take on relationships, sudden success and enduring sense of innocence and vulnerability made this a 'score'.

Forget the cut by cut commentary - this music reflects an artistic maturation process that is awe-inspiring and stunning; they've become tighter in their delivery and, perhaps that is reflected by the truly talented arraingments and writing. They make it sound easy.

The last cut, "You Won't Be Mine" signals very good things to come. Indeed, it does it's job so well that you will simply sit and contemplate it's delicacy until, perhaps four minutes after it has ended you will get another surprise and a variation of the arraingment floods the senses with the promise of what talent and sensitivity can mean to such an art form as this.

Alice in Chains vocalist Layne Staley teams with Seattle pals Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) and Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees) in the tradition of other part-time grunge aggregations like Brad and Hater. These 10 numbers--mostly somber, acoustic-hued ballads like the single "River of Deceit"--are a therapeutic soul-cleansing for the troubled Staley. Core fans of any of the aforementioned bands will rank this with the solo work of Screaming Tree frontman Mark Lanegan (a guest vocalist here). --Jeff Bateman

RIP layne staley.......2007-06-05

mad season was a side project of layne staley (former frontman for alice in chains) along with one of the guitar players from pearl jam and a no-name drummer. all of the songs are playable but only 1 or 2 really stand out with artificial red being my fav. i would recommend buying a used copy for a few bucks if you are a fan of AIC and are curious about this music. the cover art is really cool too.

Gooaasch.......2007-05-05

...honestly, this to date, it is in my top 10 albums of all time.

And, I like it all. Electronica, Jazz, Funk, Hard Rock, Trip-Hop, 50's 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and current, etc. Classics as well as new. This album makes you feel.

Sure, since it's release 10+ years ago, it has found itself not on my "go-to" list more than once. That's the nature of music though.

Yeah, Alice fans will dig, but it's bigger than that.

Where it hits hard...Staley. The man was obviously pained. That in turn produced a moving experience. Although he did the same with Alice, this seems more poignant.

"Wake Up" is THE most memorable cut. Starts out mellow, Layne crying out, a blues/rock riff, and leads to McCready getting off...just amazing.

The combo of musical influences is evident. Staley, McCready, Lanegan, et al just make beautiful, rocking music.

Not one song disappoints. From beginning to end it messages the soul. Whether a soothing effect or a punch in the the kidney...it's perfect.

Led Zeppilin III is in my top 5 of all time...and this rivals.

Good as hell, all the way through.......2007-04-04

This is a mellow, artsy kind of album, but man does it RULE. I love Layne's range. He does Facelift, Dirt, and the Self-Titled while releasing the acoustic CD's in between (SAP and Jar o' Flies). The guy was just a musical genius. This record show that. Having the super backing band also helped, with vocals from Screaming Tree's Mark Lanegan (THE single most UNDERRATED vocailist to ever emerge from Seattle) and Mike from Pearl Jam's excellent 70's style guitar is the icing on the cake. River of Deciet, Lifeless Dead, I don't know anything, and Im alone are my fav's. There isnt a bad track on this CD.

Great experience.......2007-03-22

My husband and I have both been looking for this CD for awhile- We found it cheaper on Amazon than the music store and we got it within 4-5 days. THANKS

Layne's voice still echoes from Above.......2007-03-12

This is the most beautifully artistic outpouring I've ever tried to soak in. The lead singer, Layne Staley(Alice in Chains), attempts to unburden his troubled soul with this emotional tour de force.
His voice on every track is completely mesmerizing. Many of the songs contain a small hint of anger that has been overwhelmed by an infinite sadness. The lyrics are so painfully searing, you get a real feel for the agony behind the words. This entire journey is a therapeutic attempt for Layne to overcome his inner demons.

I love every song on this album. The first track, Wake Up, is a soft, mellow song that really showcases his amazing voice. With the accompaniment of a very basic, throbbing bass guitar and some xylophones, Layne acknowledges his need to wake up from his nightmare.
On X-Ray Mind, Layne admits his need to step away from the grind of his regular life, and how he can tell some of his so called friends might not have his best interest in mind.
The third track, River of Deceit, is the only song that received any radio play. It's about anguish and about choices. Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) skillfully adds to Layne's undeniable energy with his acoustic guitar.
The fourth song is my favorite poem, titled I'm Above. It is the only song that doesn't have elements of personal suffering in it. It basically is stating what comes around, goes around. It demonstrates the power to take the higher ground.
Artificial Red is next, filled with abrasive guitars that control the pacing. Lyrically it seems to be about isolation and recovery. Kind of the entire theme of this album.
Lifeless Dead apparently torments over a lost love. Layne sings this song with a monotone voice, which signifies the drainage of emotion. The guitar riffs are simplistic in their execution plus rigid in their delivery.
Next, the song I Don't Know Anything builds up quickly and then evens out with it's repetitive chorus. The guitars really battle it out.
The final poem, Long Gone Day, is a heartfelt recollection of times gone by. There are sounds of desperation, mistakes, and regret.
Mike closes out this phenomenal collaboration with an awesome instrumental, November Hotel. He demonstrates his remarkable talent even more here at the end. This is followed by kind of an eerie, angelic goodbye.

Mad Season's lone output is one of my most treasured CD's. It's as good as Dirt(Alice in Chains) or Ten(Pearl Jam). That is some lofty praise. We can always still hear Layne's voice, and sometimes I can still feel his tears raining down from Above...

Enjoyable.......2005-08-23

If you like TV/movie soundtracks, and Andromeda, you should like this. Good Andromeda music, also contains the two different opening themes. (Remember, it is a TV soundtrack so it contains synthesized music.) I enjoy listening to it, and can have it playing in the background at work too without it being bothersome.

A Great Soundtrack.......2005-02-01

The soundtrack to Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda is one of the best sci-fi soundtracks to come out in quite a while. I found the music exciting, interesting and intriguing, and on several tracks simply exhilarating; composer Matthew McCauley really does take you on a musical roller-coaster, from the stately High Guard Theme to Dylan's theme to Trance's and Beka's themes to the Nietzschean Attack theme. McCauley musically explores each character, underscoring and enhancing their unique personality. The album has kind of a New Age-ish sound to it on several tracks which gives it a mysterious ethereal quality. A great score for a great series. Composer Matthew McCauley certainly knows his stuff. This is just great music whether or not you're a fan of the show!

love it.......2003-08-08

Great presentation of soundtrack. Interesting instrumentals for even those who are not familiar with the show. I listen to it practically all the time!

A great television score!.......2002-03-27

First off, this is a television soundtrack, not a movie soundtrack-- many of the "instruments" are synthesized. Okay, that aside, this is a great album! It's been a long time since I've heard so many different character themes on a tv soundtrack. From the Heroic "Dylan Hunt", to the brooding "Rev Bem and Magog" music, to the outright ominious "Neitzscheans" themes, this album is a winner. It's nice that the producers also included Alex Lifeson's "March of the High Guard" theme from season 1, which is regrettably no longer used on the show. The music on this album takes you on a emotional roller coaster-- from mysterious, to brooding, to heroic and back again. High recommended for fans of both scores and the television series alike!

Most under-rated band.......2002-10-08

It was well worth the four year wait from yourself til mad season. Beautiful ballets on both c.d's and Rob Thomas can really bring it home with his vocals. I was kind of shocked when I heard they already have another c.d coming out in November. I hope that it was not rushed and it has such equal staying power as the first two. The most under-rated band out there today. They deserve more credit from the music industry.

MATCHBOX 20 REVIEW.......2002-07-20

I think that Rob Thomas is the best singer in the world! He really knows how to sing! If you like all of the Matchbox 20 albums, then you should check out "Supernatural Santana". He sings this great song on supernatural. The song is called "Smooth". It's my favorite song. If you liked all of Matchbox 20's albums and check out the Song "Smooth" on the Album: "Supernatural Santana" today! Thanks.

A new fan of the band........2001-12-16

I never paid much attention when I heard about this band, mainly for the obviously stupid reason that I thought their name was dorky. I bought this cd after hearing the lead singer on that Santana tune and thought I'd give it a try. What a great suprise! Very haunting at times and rocking at others, but altogether great! I put their first cd on my wish list this year, and bought a copy of Mad Season for my brother for Christmas. I'm sure he'll love it just like you will.

Brilliant........2001-12-08

When this CD came out so many people panned it. They claimed it just wasn't like Yourself or Someone Like You. They are all right...it is so much better. Songs like Rest Stop and Bed of Lies are heartfelt songs. Mad Season is something different, but good. Bent was played all over the radios and got decent reviews. The album is incredible and I can't recommend it enough.

Just like fine wine.......2001-08-21

Seeing it took the boys of Matchbox, five years to come back with another album, I knew to expect something different, but wowsa. I hadn't realized how different! If you are expecting the same hard driven songs as on Yourself..prepare for something totally opposite. Although, at first I was disappointed. I wanted to hear another "Back 2 Good" so bad. This album has just as many good songs, such as "You Won't Be Mine", "Bed of Lies" and "Angry" I can only say I hope that it doesn't take them another five years to come out with another great album, but if that's what it takes, I'll will be waiting.

Its a Mad Mad Mad World !!!!.......2001-06-24

..I feel stupid , its something that comes and goes " " Life is changing..its funny how no one knows "

Rob Soars out Loud and is as always truimphiant !. Delivering such powerful vocals and lyrics leaving your ears infectious and begging and pleading for more !.

Mad Season - The Title song representing the entire mad collection of hits featured in the album , truly justifys its name.

A Pure Rock track with heavy percussion and loud electric guitars enough to make you jump out of your car seat and sing along in the traffic.

Rob Thomas et all are great musicians. Its a shame that such good songs are not being air played often.

Anyways..if you're a matchbox twenty fan. You know exactly what you have to do. For those who are only familiar with the band name..Pick up this single..Take my word..you'll be buying the albums too.

The Worse cut from the CD.......2001-06-12

I just can't understand why they picked this cut to be released for the next single ."Angry,Crutch," or my favorite number,"You won't be mine," would have been perfect.

AMAZING CD, COOL COVER.......2001-04-17

First off: If you already have "Mad Season by Matchbox Twenty (the ablum)" then don't get this import single unless you are a die hard matchbox fan (like me!). The single's tacks are:

1. Mad Season (album version) 2. If You're Gone (album version) 3. Long Day (Live in Seattle from EMP concert)
