I was eagerly anticipating this album since North in 2012, but the first three songs were a letdown as they strayed far from Matchbox Twenty's usual sound and leaned more toward stadium rock.

I rarely like nearly every song from a reissued album, but Sabrina Carpenter's "emails i can't send fwd:" achieves that in spades. Outside of the album opener and Tornado Warnings, there wasn't a song I didn't like.

That said, as I dig into the purpose of this reissue with four new songs at the end of the album, it becomes clear that Carpenter is only reissuing the album for fans of the album. I can't knock it, but the four songs are repetitive of other songs that already exist on ... read more
