4. The Great Unknown 

“This is a great CD. Yes it is different than what Rob has done in the past. I think he has an amazing voice and can sing whatever style of music he wants to sing. It is interesting that I like him much better as a solo artist than I do singing with Matchbox Twenty. Normally I like a singer with the band more than I like their solo work.”

3. Chip Tooth Smile 

“Rob Thomas (famous for his smash hit Smooth with Santana back in the day) returns with his latest album. Some great songs on here but the crowning glory is lead single “One Less Day (Dying Young)” which is a stonking, life affirming anthem.”

2. Cradlesong 

“Every song on the album is at least good, and flow into the next really well. There’s quite a variety of but all aren’t so different that you don’t know what sort of style the album is. Talking about the style, it is a mixture of blues, jazz, soft rock and rock, that all mix together and create a brilliant sounding album.”

1. …Something To Be 

“He was a star with Matchbox Twenty, but when he went solo, we saw how immensely talented this man on his own, in his own right, and I love almost every track, with Problem Girl being a slight album filler for me. Highly recommend to anyone.”
