I wasn’t trying to love it, but the the new Matchbox Twenty single is the best thing they have ever done. “She’s So Mean” is thrilling, stuttering, rocking ower-freakin’-pop. Great drums, Tele guitars, and Rob Thomas’ confident swagger is nicely understated. Video is good too. Song is a part of their new album North, coming in September. One of the pop/rock bands that lost their way. “3 A.M.” was a killer little pop song, and they had a handful of radio hits. But the new one is better than all of them. Trust your friend Rob on this one… And remember, guitarist Kyle Cook is from Indiana. Shout out to Frankfort.
