After all these years I have discovered Rob Thomas hiding in plain sight. I love his voice, I love this whole CD ( and it is rare to like everything on a CD). As a result I have now expanded my library to include all of his earlier stuff with Matchbox Twenty as well. The music is unique. Each song has an style/identity all on its own. This is not a cookie cutter album. It is a nice balance of mostly mellow peppered with upbeat, make your body wanna move kinda stuff! The lyrics are all - well, there are no sufficient words on my part to describe them except that they touch my heart. In trying to choose a "favorite" I find that I just can't. My only question is why he is looking for "Something to Be" when he clearly already IS an extraordinary talent. He touches my soul in so many ways. I am a new "old" fan.Read full review
Rob Thomas has the most amazing voice, however, I enjoy his work more with Matchbox 20. This CD is good, but It doesn't knock me out. Personally, there are only a few songs that I care for....most I could do without. Lonely No More, Ever The Same, Streetcorner Symphony and My My My are my faves. It's actually sad because as much as I love Rob Thomas' voice, this CD doesn't make me want to listen. But IT IS ok. I'm simply awaiting the new Matchbox 20 CD on June 30, 2009.
Daughter received it for her 14th birthday, hasn't stopped playing it. Rob Thomas combines music adults and teens alike can enjoy. "Her Diamonds" is a great song, poignant and easy to get into. Highly recommended to all Rob Thomas fans at there.
it is an excellent cd.
