Matchbox Twenty Album: “Bent/Push [US]”

Drive your car in the 6th gear..and drive like a madman in the begining..then cool off in the 3rd gear suddenly still enjoying the pleasure of driving. Thats what BENT is all about it. The single starts off with a great BANG..and then takes turn to the mellow side...keeping the pace and then picking up gradually..giving delightful pleasure to the listener. The lyrics are emotionaly deep and very hurting.Some people might even visualise their life events when they listen to the song. Music is brilliantly composed by the band...4 years of absence really brought in some more quality music from them. Im sure the album too will be brilliantly composed and written. Upon listening to the song..im sure people will have mixed reactions to it ..some might cry..some might smile..some may even go..WOW. Bent is the begining of a new chapter of Matchbox Twenty's carrer. Songs like these which are true from the heart , and a previously hit singles and an album , have sure made matchbox twenty a worldwide recognised band who certainly do deserve a lot of appreciation. Buy the sing " Bent "..hear it..and fall in love with the band. Im sure no one can single your life story like they do.

I was never really a fan of matchbox twenty...that is until I heard their song, "Bent"....and I absolutely fell in love with it. The lyrics themselves are sooo powerful. And the guitar solo in the middle is awesome. This is really a good song...one I think almost everyone can relate to at some point in their life. I think everyone should take four minutes and listen to this song at least once....it really says a lot!

Heh, this song rocks. But if your like me, after the.... oh.... I'd say about the 1,000th time of listening to it you might, and I repeat MIGHT get tired of it. I listened to this song over and over and over and over and over again, until I had to be in a certain mood to listen to it. But it still rox. So buy it. Push is cool too. Buy it buy it buy it buy it.......NOW! :o)

Simply stated, that's all it is. I don't have the album, just the single, which I purchased after reading a story for which the lyrics to Bent were the inspiration. The opening is almost the same as the Verve's Come On, but after the initial riff it all changes. Very angsty, and bittersweet. The acoustic Push has all the beauty of the original, but in a more subdued, anguished manner. All in all, exceedingly excellent. Now I just have to pull enough money to get the album!

So I already have mad season, but I had to get this one because, hey, it's matchbox twenty. I cannot stop listening to Bent. I fell in love with it when I first heard it on the radio and have been freaking out and turning it up whenever I hear it. Even though it's "just a single," it's still excellent and worth the listen. Rob Thomas's vocals, as I am quickly learning, are gorgeous and sexy, and everyone in the band is just extraordinary.
