User Album Review
The album opens with the lead single ‘One Less Day (Dying Young)’ and this driving beat is a huge hook in this song. You find yourself in the rhythm of it and you’re hooked. Rob Thomas who enlisted musical genius and producer extraordinaire Butch Walker on this album you can hear the influence immediately and throughout. The vibe of the song and the almost Celtic rhythm later just make this an instant fave. What a great start. Now… ‘Timeless’ let’s just talk about this song and the way this has been written, full of throwbacks to the music of old and cleverly put together into a song with a chorus with that ringing guitar and a nice sing along part is just excellent song structure. I won’t mention the specifics but the ‘Phil fill’ is outstanding. I can’t get enough of this song. It just takes me back. ‘Can’t Help Me Now’ starts off as a slower track with a piano and percussion but feels the most Matchbox of the tracks so far but you can hear how much Rob has evolved and this song is mature and musically there’s lots of layers making it full yet not overpowered plus a perfectly gated ending. ‘Funny’ is anything but, it’s a song that I can hear as a single and becoming a favourite as lyrically it’s a great story to follow and with a middle 8 I’m happy. Again, the arrangements of these tunes are perfect. Rob has built his career over twenty some years and has the ability to write and make these songs just come out in his own way.
