"How could you call this a "tribute"? Every song is sung by "Tapping the Urge," a virtually unknown band who is nothing close to the real thing. Why listen to this CD when you can listen to the real versions sung by Matchbox 20? Don't waste your money on this...go out and buy the actual MB20 cds."
AWFUL

"Its like someone recorded bad singers doing Matchbox Twenty Kareoke and tried to sell it. I know you'll want to have it as part of your collection if you're a big fan, but trust me, its too painful to listen to, don't waste your money"
Absolutely ghastly!

"I don't get it. I just simply do not get it. Why would anybody by this "tribute" which is HORRIBLE, when you could buy albums by the real Matchbox Twenty for the same price? This CD is abominably bad! They butchered every single song, especially Bright Lights! There is nothing redeeming about this CD at all. The delivery and arragements on every song are disgraceful, and the vocals are horrible. They don't do the band justice at all! I've heard better Matchbox Twenty in karaoke bars! Don't waste your money on this piece of garbage. There's only one Matchbox Twenty."
This is NOT a worthy tribute!

"Whoever did this "tribute" doesn't know what a tribute really is. It's apparently someone just looking to make quick money any way they can - and unfortunately they did it using some of the greatest songs of one of the greatest bands - Matchbox Twenty. MB20's sound and style cannont be replicated... as proven by this pitiful attempt. My advice: buy the real albums and wait for a REAL tribute by people who know how to do it!
OH - and not liking this "tribute" doesn't mean not liking MB20 - it means liking the real thing over some rip off... it means knowing GOOD music from bad, and it means knowing true soul from the absence of soul!"
For God Sakes Turn Around

"If you think you're getting quality here, think again baby! Don't over analyze this, it just plain sucks and makes you appreciate Rob more and more. Tribute? Hardly, just a bunch of guys with some extra money trying to ca$h in on MB20's name and music. If you're thinking of purchasing this "For God Sake's Turn Around". If anyone wrote a favorable review of this crap they either work for the distributor or are one of the musicians."
