The title of Matchbox Twenty's best-of collection, EXILE ON MAINSTREAM, seems to be an acknowledgement, ironic or not, of the band's entrenched status as kings of commercial pop-rock. As the 11 mega-hits compiled here prove, though, the band has a right to be proud. The disc plays like a trip down the main drag of radio-friendly alt rock in the 1990s, with such ubiquitous classics as "Push," "3 a.m.," and "Real World" included.
But the real treat is the EP that comes with the package. These six songs represent the first new Matchbox Twenty material in the five years since 2002's MORE THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE was released, and find the band more energized, focused, and compelling than at any point in their career. Produced by super-producer Steve Lilywhite, the EXILE EP is a polished stream of well-constructed modern rock with an adult contemporary slant, matching the highlights on the best-of disc for catchy hooks and melodic songcraft. Taken together, the discs offer a perfect summation of the band's past and present glories.

      An Interesting Twist on the Greatest Hits Complilation

    Greatest Hits collections are a mixed blessing: some people love 'em and some people hate 'em. When being introduced to a band for the first time, listeners could do worse than a greatest hits CD. But die-hard fans know that best-of compilations (1) delay further albums and (2) are usually a marketing plot.

    Matchbox Twenty takes an interesting twist with their new double album, "Exile on Mainstream." The first disc features seven new tracks from the band while the second comprises their greatest hits. The new stuff, including the single "How Far We've Come," is surprisingly strong material while the hits compilation is a great collection of the band's many singles. My only complaint? The first disc clocks in at under 30 minutes.

    Thanks for reading. If you found this review helpful, please vote "Yes" at the bottom of this entry. Thanks again, and happy listening!
