Two years into a new decade and
Matchbox Twenty has finally released a
new album, the band's first since 2007.
"North" is the groups fifth studio
album, and while it doesn't stack up to
some of its previous releases, "North"
offers 12 songs filled to the brim with
lyrics about relationships, motivation
and even a dance song
It accomplishes this all with a unique
blend of electronic sounds and tradi-
tional instruments, which gives the
album a unique sound.
Currently, Matchbox Twenty is on
its way to the UK. and then to Australia
as it hits the global scene to promote the
new album.
The first song, "Parade," sets the
tone for the whole album. It opens with
a well-paced guitar riff that speeds up
during the chorus as lead singer Rob
Thomas offers words of advice on
making hasty decisions in away only the
lead singer of the Santana hit "Smooth"
could.
The first single off of "North" is the
song "She's So Mean," released in June,
The song seems the most like the band's
past hits and includes a catchy chorus
about every single guy's dreams and
nightmares and a fun tempo which
leaves people nodding their heads and
tapping their feet.
The hit peaked at #31 in the U.S.
Billboard Hot 100.
One of the best songs on the albu rn
is "Our Song." It delivers the best of the
band's electric sounds. The smooth
lyrics provided by Thomas work well
with guitarist Kyle Cooks perfectly
timed guitar strumming.
Matchbox Twenty formed in 1995 in
Orlando, Fla., and gained huge commer-
cial success two years later with its debut
album, "Yourself or Something Like
You." The album produced six singles.
"North" concludes on a somber
note with "Sleeping at the Wheel." The
MATCHBOX TWENTY
N RTH
Matchbox Twenty - "North" album cover
song is one of the slower ones on the
album. Its theme is one of not giving up
and ignoring the naysayers, and provides
an extremely feel-good ending.
"North," while not as prolific as
previous Matchbox Twenty albums,
delivers more than a few songs that are
easy to listen to and fun to sing along
with.
Bottom line, for fans of Matchbox
Twenty "North" is worth the price, but if
someone were looking to listen to it for
the first time, it would be best to give the
first few albums first dibs.
