This CD came promptly in the mail. However, it was stated that the CD was new but it had actually been repackaged from it's original packaging and the case was cracked upon arrival. The CD works fine though, so overall I am pleased with my purchase!

I love nearly all of the songs on this album, but my favorite is, "This is How a Heart Breaks." The drums, rhythms are lively and unique on many of the songs and the ballads are soulful with understandable intelligent lyrics. "Streetcorner Symphony" is also a gem!

Enjoyed listening to the words of these songs and the singing voice. It was and is very relaxing and captivating. Good job by Rob Thomas!!!

I was surprised to see when i popped this guy into my SACD/DVD-A player that it happened to be an actual DVD-A disc.
Mediocre music, Rob Thomas was best on the Matchbox 20 album Yourself or Someone Like You, but high quality audio.

I bought this CD for myself for a birthday present and I love it! The music makes one want to get up and move! He has some soft songs too, but overall it has good energy. I really enjoy it! He has his own sound with just enough angst that most people can relate.

I enjoyed Rob Thomas's voice in this collection of songs. however, I thought that it wasn't his best work but only the beginning. I had purchased another CD of his which came out later. The music I thought was a better blend both in terms of music itself and then the lyric's. That doesn't mean that solo album number 1 isn't any good no far from it. For a first work I thought it was good and worth anyone who's a fan of Rob Thomas or a person interested in his music should go out and get this one. It's always nice to see were it all began.

BE SURE TO READ THE FINE PRINT ON THE BACK OF THE CD BOX! "This disc is intended to play on standard DVD and CD players. May not play on a limited number of models"
I made the mistake of buying the CD w/out checking the fine print and now the CD part of the disc will NOT play on my Macbook Pro. The DVD side plays fine and the CD part will play in my car, just not on my computer.

Thomas has created a wonderful collection of songs here that showcase his talents as a songwriter and a performing artist. The final song on this CD, Now Comes the Night, is a soulful, piano-laden ballad that I can play again and again. This with his newer work, Cradlesong, tells me Rob is going to be around for quite some time.

I love it! I don't see how anyone could sit still while listening to this music. I highly recommend this CD.

Debut solo album isn't much different from MB20 but I like them better as a band.
