I was very excited about this release when I found the track
Her Diamonds on iTunes, and could not stop listening to the song. The album was a wonderful breath of fresh air around the Boom Boom Pow's and Seeking Amy's of the radio.
( and there's always anotherCollapse )Closing Thoughts: As a big fan of Thomas' first album and earlier work with Matchbox Twenty, I have to say that this album is a big step away from all of that. However, Thomas goes into this change with grace, and it's a welcome new invention of his music. Some tracks may have left something to be desired, but the overall effect was completely worth the wait for the album. I would have personally switched the singles released with some of the better tracks on the album, but it doesn't change the opinion of the album. This is one of the most well-crafted albums released in 2009, and I am very happy with the result. I can't wait to hear the next one, Mr. Thomas.
