Something To Be

List Price: $18.98
Lowest Price: $4.02

Album Description:

As the lead singer to the multi-platinum group matchbox 20, Rob Thomas penned a remarkable string of chart-topping hits. Rob has also collaborated with a select list of artists-most notably Santana, for whom he wrote and sang the smash pop single, "Smooth," which earned Thomas three Grammy Awards.

Amazon.com:

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

dual cd not a plus
This can be played on one side as a cd and the other as a dvd, but we just play it in our car and it has a hard time reading the cd. The music is excellent though.

A good exploration of sound and style
This is an interesting debut album that explores other styles of music that he normally doesn't touch when fronting MB20. He has a remarkable voice and is a dynamic singer. Highlights include "Lonely No More," "This is how a heart breaks," and for my money, the best song on the disc ..."Streetcorner Synphony."

He is excellent
I love Rob Thomas. I bought this CD thinking I would like 3 songs or so - I like the entire CD. If you like his style - you will love this. He is incredible. Extremely talented. You will not forget this purchase. I rarely take it out of my CD player in my car - because there is always a time that I want to hear it.

Great Music
This is a great CD. When I ordered it, I was concerned that I might only like a couple songs on it, but I love every song on the CD. Rob Thomas's music is pretty diverse.

Buying it for Streetcorner Symphony
Streetcorner Symphony is a drug! One of the best I've heard in my life. UNREAL musical talent.
Lonely no more, of course -super! and this is from someone who dislikes 99.9% of the popular music.
