A girl I 'know' through twitter just won tickets to the Sheperds Bush Empire gig for simply posting pics of her copies of North on twitter with a #FoundTwentyLDN hashtag.


Wish it'd been me lol

On another note, MB20 have started releasing song packs for the Rock Band games on PS3/Xbox360/Wii.

First pack came out today featuring Bent, How Far We've Come and She's So Mean

Might need to get myself a copy of Rock Band!

I've let the album sink in and I don't think it's very good. Certainly not near the previous efforts. It lacks the earnest and soulful edge that makes Matchbox Twenty what they are. It just feels like a Rob Thomas solo album.

The Way is great though, really enjoy that one.

Whilst I actually really like the album, I know exactly where you're coming from. My first thought was that it was just like Cradlesong part II. Not as good as previous efforts but still good nonetheless.

The Way is brilliant, I love Kyle's voice on it. I don't know why I like it so much as the lyrics are annoyingly repetitive, there's just something about it. I still think the bridge in How Long is one of the best bridges ever too.

Exact same boat. It took a little time for it to sink in but then it really grabbed me.

Same here, loved a few of the songs at first, but others have taken time to sink in. The only songs i'm not too keen on are Like Sugar and Straight For this Life. Still like them, just depends on my mood whether I skip them or not.

Years its a big shame for me. For some reason I thought getting back together with MB20 would bring the old style back. But this is the same old commercial pop shut that Rob did when solo. I miss the soulful, moody music of before with the gritty edge, big disappointment to see them sell out like Bon Jovi.
