MATCHBOX 20 - 1.5 out of 6

The first song is not bad, but it sounds like a lot of other bands. Do I have to mention them? The start of the second track reminds me of "Brimfull of asha" by Cornershop.Remember that one? That's not necessary a good thing. I don't really like track two...Ydrrk Track three is not much better Ahhhh, I feel like I'm wasting time listening to this. I understand why some people (like you, Scott, apparently ) like this kind of music. It's "safe", you can turn off your brain and listening. At a point in the 90's, I might had considered buying ....music like this, but the 90's were weird. I have a lot of bands in my mind, that they sound like, but my brain is turned off, while listening, so I can't remember any names....ehh...think...arrghh....no, I give up. It's crap. Boring crap.
