"If you haven't heard "Bent", it is one of matchbox twenty's most innovative, musical songs ever. in other words, it freakin rocks. What's great about this single, they didn't pile on the 3am, Push, Long Day etc. They have an awesome, smile till yer head falls of, really loud version of "Busted" on here, as well as a live version of the Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down", in which KYLE sings the lead vocals! Even if you have the mad season by matchbox TWENTY cd, as long as you are a diehard mb20 fan like me, its worth the bucks for this one."
The number 1 single!

"Woah! I bought this CD in New York in The Virgin Megastore. "Bent," is the first single of of their newest album, "Mad season." I thought nothing would be better then their first album, but I was wrong! "Bent," has two other songs on it from their "Live in Australia" video. They are called "Busted," and "Don't let me Down," which was written by The Beatles. This a very good album."
GET BENT!

"Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20 are without question one of the most exciting and talented musicians of this century! Their sound is smooth, (pardon that reference to Santana's recent smash!)and this song has a rocking beat that you can't help singing along to -- and real loudly too! In one word -- WOW!"
THE SONG FRICKIN ROCKS!
