Description:
Listening to cradlesong, the second album from Matchbox Twenty singer/songwriter Rob Thomas, it`s hard not to think of him as a man out of time, making big music for a world of miniature niches. Thomas makes music as if it was the turn of the millennium, when there were cross-demographic radio formats and stores to goose sales to diamond status, traits that still serve him well when he`s constructing sonic skyscrapers even if the results don`t necessarily feel at home in the modern skyline. With its urgent hooks and surging sincerity, cradlesong is recognizably Thomas`s work, right down to its lower-case typography, but with the assistance of longtime producer Matt Serletic he`s tweaked the formula of his 2005 solo debut SOMETHING TO BE in judicious ways, using his worldbeat inflections as an underpinning instead of flair. This is a record built on careful details in its production and lyrics, constructed with discipline and eager to be taken seriously. This dogged sense of purpose does result in a tighter, better record than SOMETHING TO BE and even when it`s not a lot of fun, it`s not meant to be: it`s big music about big issues, even inflating personal issues to the universal. If it seems somewhat out of step with its year, that almost makes Thomas` somber, determined craft admirable - he`s doing this not because it`ll give him a hit but because he believes in it.

    Love it!

    I LOVE Rob Thomas, I have waited forever for his second solo album and I absolutely love it! I don't think this guy gets enough credit, he is extremely talented! "Fire on the Mountain" is my favorite song on this cd.
