"This was a rather disappointing purchase for me. I am a major Matchbox Twenty fan....DONT be misled by the "by Matchbox Twenty" or whatever in the title. This is a spoken history of the band and the members....which wouldn't be so bad if it were the band members doing the speaking. But other than a few audio clips (Taken from "The Interview" CD), the remainder of the CD is spoken by a British female narrator. There is no music by the band, few new revelations of the band, and next to no verbal interaction by the band. There were a few new things I learned about the lesser-known members of the band, but that alone is not worth this CD. Your money is much better spent on their music, or on "The Interview" Cd, which at least features the band members talking about themselves."

"If you own "The Interview" then don't buy this . This cd lists the bands history with a few snippets from "the interview" and many dissapointments (especially the readers inability to pronounce Matchbox Twenty!) I am a huge fan of the band from England and ordered this with great expectation . It's nice to hear the history of the band from inception to superstardom but trust me , this is a listen once and forget you have . My advice - find someone who has it (or convince a friend to buy it) then listen and give back , no money wasted !"
