I know this album was huge but I liked the next two albums more.

The thread is alive!

Despite being a 90s guy, I never got into Matchbox 20. They were too "clean" for me following that early 90s rock movement.

I quite liked what I hear from Matchbox Twenty.  There are times where "Unwell" and "Real World" really resonated with me.

I love their album Yourself or Someone Like You. That was my soundtrack during high school.

Favorite track is Hang. Very mellow and kind of introspecting

I never bought a Matchbox 20 album, but it probably wouldn't hurt to revisit some of the tracks others recommend here.

I don’t really have an opinion on that album. I know the singles, and neither love nor hate them.

I own this one, it's a really great record.  Didn't like much of what they did after this.
Everyone else, except Wolfking is wrong.

This album is so good. 12 really outstanding tracks. You know an album's pretty good if the whole first half is released as singles. My favorites on this album were Long day, Back 2 Good, Kody, and Hang. May have to pull this sucker out on my next car ride.
I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.
WELP.

This album was everywhere it seemed, I remember seeing the same videos over and over on MTV and VH1.

This was my wife's favorite album when we first started dating, which meant I had to hear it a lot.

It's actually really good, and they are a pretty good band.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.
