* Matchbox Twenty - Exile on Mainstream
Review submitted on October 03, 2007, 03:25:33 PM by JH
The box's first album in years. This album features a "mini album" of 6 new songs (including the single "How Far We've Come") as well as a second disk of "greatest hits" from previous albums.

I got this album yesterday, the day it came out. On my drive home, i went through the songs one by one. I was severely dissappointed, at first. The harder sound i like (from tracks like "bent" and "mad season") were gone, as well as the old instrumental sound. Now it's upbeat, fast paced, and a little softer - But it isn't bad. Just took a while to get used to.

As for the "greatest hits" album, that dissappointed me. They just put the singles from their previous records but also left out some really great songs..

New tracks:

"How Far We've Come" - ****
"I'll Believe You When" - **
"All Your Reasons" - ***
"These Hard Times" - ****
"If I Fall" - **
"I Can't Let You Go" - *

"Greatest hits" (not factored in over-all rating)

"Long Day" -        ***
"Push" -               **
"3 AM" -               **
"Real World" -      ***
"Back 2 Good" -    ****
"Bent" -                *****
"If You're Gone" - ****
"Mad Season" -    *****
"Disease" -           **
"Unwell" -             *****
"Bright Lights" -    ****

Overall Rating (new tracks only)

2.8/5

I reccomend it because it is worth the buy, considering it costed me $13 for a two-cd album and DVD of live performances. Not bad. However it's probabally the worst of matchbox twenty in my opinion. (although that's still relatively good compared to more modern rock Tongue)
