Product Description

From Amazon.co.uk

The sound of Southern rock gets a facelift for the 1990s on Yourself or Someone Like You, the record that made Florida's Matchbox 20 a success story. Rob Thomas's charismatic and passionate vocal delivery carries this collection of captivating, personal-story songs, based on honest, heart-felt lyrics rich with cathartic emotion. Anyone who's felt so scarred by love that they can't imagine taking the chance of getting hurt again will relate to a song like "Push" (an exhilarating feminist anthem disguised as just another relationship-on-the-rocks song). A much-needed break from the alternative pack. --Gail Worley

4.0 out of 5 stars Yourself Or Someone Like You, April 2 2005
By 
The One "Tim" (Toronto, ON, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yourself Or Someone.. (Audio CD)
This album was like my first album to own as my collection started to grow. I got this album about 8 years ago, and it's a classic. Rob Thomas is an outstanding song writer, and he gave us all a preview of what was to come later on. This is a great rock album. It has a mellow side to it, with deep emotional lyrics with "Hang". It also has a straight up rock n roll side to it with "Push" and also a post grunge type of feel to it with the song "Busted". This is one of the few albums in which has a variety of different styles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Whether you like it or not, it's MB20 at their most basic, Jun 28 2004
This review is from: Yourself Or Someone.. (Audio CD)
I feel compelled to write a review here to counteract everyone else who seems to have just bought the album within the last year. This is a great rock album, and if you want to know what matchbox twenty is about, this is your album. However, as someone who has followed the progress of this band since '96 when this album came out, I have to say, I enjoy their 2nd and 3rd albums a little more. This is not to imply that it's not worth listening to from time to time, but I feel as if Rob Thomas' songwriting skills don't hit their peak until Mad Season.

But, seeing as none of my friends understand why this is my third favorite band, most likely because the first two are Coldplay and Radiohead, I should probably advocate buying this album.

1. Real World- A great intro to the album. Musically, it gets overrun later on, however.

2. Long Day- Really an interesting song, since it briefly put the band on the map in the thrash rock genre. A lot of soulful lyrics in this one.

3. 3 AM- The most popular song on the album, it's worth a listen to and plays well with people at parties if you're just picking up a guitar, but gets old after a while.

4. Push- Totally underrated, it's one of matchbox twenty's best songs ever. It's controversial because some say that the lyrics imply sexual abuse, but Thomas claims this is not the case. A great tune and if anyone gets their hands on the acoustic version, they will love it even more.

5. Girl Like That- A little obnoxious, but it grows on you.

6. Back 2 Good- Really an awesome song, it lays down the foundations for some of their better depressing ballads. Great considering how it stands out in the middle of the album, keeping a listener's attention with it's sad lyrics.

7. Damn- A confusing song, I'm not sure if it's supposed to be twangy or rock or sad or what.

8. Argue- A good rock song and I wish they'd have pushed it as a single.

9. Kody- No one ever talks about this song, but I love it. Second best song on the album. It's sort of a sad tune about a homeless man (and one can hypothesize that Thomas wrote it about himself, a former homeless person).

10. Busted- Reminds me of a bad version of Feel (on MTYTYA).

11. Shame- Catchy guitar riff, and a good song.

12. Hang- Underrated, and sets the tone well for some of the acoustic songs on the next album (If You're Gone, You Won't Be Mine). A spectacular final track to an album, second only to Street Spirit of "The Bends."

If you adore matchbox twenty already, then you should probably not skip buying this. If, however, you want to get your money's worth in one matchbox twenty album, buy not their latest album or this but Mad Season.

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME, Mar 26 2004
This review is from: Yourself Or Someone.. (Audio CD)
This is one of the best CDs I own. I bought it because I loved "Unwell" and "Disease" but when I got it I saw how many other great tracks were on it. "The Difference" has very emotional lyrics that I liked, while "You're So Real" and the hidden track (about 10 seconds after "The Difference) were fun but just as enjoyable. I strongly recommend this CD to everyone. :)
