Editorial Review
It's common knowledge that solo albums are simply an excuse for a frustrated band member to indulge their experimental sides and Rob Thomas, singer for decidedly M.O.R. multiplatinum rockers Matchbox Twenty is not one to pass on the opportunity. Having already explored the classic rock thing through his collaborations with Mick Jagger and Santana, Thomas goes the other way here with results that are unexpected, and, sometimes totally unbelievable. He veers from modern R&B on the Justin Timberlake-aping "Lonely No More" to vintage prog-rock in "All That I Am," touching on all points in between. There are a few nods to the Matchbox canon with "Ever the Same" and "This Is How a Heart Breaks" but, as the title suggests, this is an album about finding himself. For the moment, Thomas is still searching. The DualDisc portion features 5.1 surround sound, a 20-minute documentary on the making of the album by filmmaker Gillian Grisman, plus the holiday tune, "Christmas in New York." --Aidin Vaziri

1 Don't know what it sounds like because...
it won't play in anything. I'm taking it back to the store and never buying DualDisc CD again.

4 A good debut from Mr. Smooth
Now I like Rob Thomas 1999 smash hit with Sanatana" SMooth" Rob Thomas showed me on this album that he has great vocal and song writing ability and also shows what kind of music he likes personally. The album kicks off with " THis is how a Heart Breaks" which is my favorite song off the album. THen with his nice ballad hit "Lonely No More" other songs I enjoy are "Fallin to Peices","When The Heartache Ends" and "All That I am" He is taltented and I except way better albums from him years to come good job Rob WE LOVE YOU!

4 Good Job Rob!
For a first solo attempt I think Rob did very well. I really like this CD. It's not MB20 although a tune or two has a little MB20 sound going on in it. However, for the most part it's not MB20, it's Rob Thomas. The album has some Latin/Soul flavor mixed with R&B and Rock. There are moments when I longed to hear the rest of the band with him, but I got over it. If you're a Rob Thomas fan I don't think you'll be disappointed by this album at all. That VOICE! He rocks.
