Free Music Notes for Rob Thomas: Something to BeFree Music Review: Something different Hit: 5 Stars
Rob Thomas' solo effort really is a 90 degree shift from the Matchbox Twenty sound, which I love. The songs are certainly "poppier" and some songs are more memorable than others. What I can say is that the Matchbox Twenty music has a better longevity (ie. I can listen to their albums over and over without tiring of them) than the songs on this album. It is still a fine album of songs, and has a few twists and turns which I enjoy. The DVD part is great, as it plays in DOLBY DIGITAL, as well as containing some behind the scenes footage of the album recording. Well worth the investment.
Free Music Review: Something to BUY! Hit: 5 Stars
I am enjoying this CD so much! It's so rare (and a credit to an awesome talent, Rob Thomas) when you can listen to a CD (over & over again) from beginning to end ~ and not tire of it. I will admit that I am a HUGE Rob Thomas fan. I have been, since his early Matchbox 20 days ("3am" "Push" "Bent"), his smash hit with Carlos Santana ("Smooth") and an even more recent Matchbox 20 song THAT I LOVE (it always makes my cry) "Bright Lights." He is simply AWESOME! In my opinion, this Solo CD "Something to Be" just proves that he gets better with every new challenge he takes on.
Free Music Review: great album by a talented artist Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is for those who like to listen to music and not just have background noise. The lyrics do not insult the listener's intelligence and the music is hummable. The variety of styles show that Rob is a talented artist who is unafraid to explore variety. The lead song "This Is How A Heart Breaks" is a great rocking beginning, and all through the cd until "Here Comes The Night" the listener is taken through a musical ride, not for a ride, finally ending on what can be considered a lullaby to rest with. This CD should attract MB20 fans, plus garner a new legion of fans.
Free Music Review: An excellent solo album Hit: 5 Stars
I was surprised to read negative comments about this recording. As a long time matchbox 20 fan, I was not disappointed in the least by RT's solo effort. I think it retains enough of the matchbox feel so that it doesn't feel like a huge departure, but it's different enough that you know it's not matchbox. I also agree that it's one of those albums that gets better and better the more you listen to it. A couple of the songs I thought were just okay the first time I listened are now some of my favorites. (Streetcorner Symphony is just plain fun!)
Free Music Review: Chilin' & Reflectin'... Hit: 5 Stars
Definitely one of those CD's that you could jam to from the very 1st... to the very last song, with a few fav's on repeat...It's a great Crusin' CD while you're driving around aimlessly or to a specific destination...It's one of those reflective types where you just sit there, thinking, connecting the music lyrics to the personal lyrics of your life...It's got a combo of upbeat spunk tunes mixed with some "Chill" kick back & relax type of moods...Highly reccomended! Purchasing Rob Thomas-- you can't go wrong--he's just so Real.... :)
