Both albums are incredible and both singers have amazing talent. You can't just go and say Oh, courage to grow is better or bright side of life is better. It's all about the love and the roots. Both albums portray it phenomenally. Stay Irie everyone
He sings Courage to Grow, Heart Like a Lion, Ordinary Girl, On My Mind, and Running.
Nothing against Eric, but the songs written by Matt seem like they have a much deeper meaning and are written from the heart. They actually speak to me.
Bright Side Of Life is a great album, and I love every song. All 4 members really have a lot of talent. But you can tell Matt put his heart and soul into every song he sang.
@randypanda11 WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE HAS OUT SOLD COURAGE TO GROW IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. YOU DO KNOW THEYRE BIGGEST HIT DIDNT INVOLVE MATT RIGHT? IF YOU LIKE THAT BOY BAND VOICE, YOUR IN THE WRONG MUSIC GENRE. QUESTION, WHATS MATT'S LATEST HIT? DUMBASS
@19aftermath84 so what is their biggest hit that you speak of? and i think your wrong, courage to grow is still higher on the charts that the bright side of life
@roughwood23 their biggest hit is GREEN TO BLACK. That song belongs to Eric and Marley. Cant wait for their new album baby, rumor is they're in studio already. Nothing against Matt, just dumb fucks who think Rebelution is dead.
@roughwood23 Yeah but Bright Side of Life is a better album. Don't get me wrong I love Courage To Grow but, bsol brings it with every track. Check out From The Window and Bump. Those 2 tracks are like Rebelution's best to date.
@blaidekim he didnt get cut from the band. he decied he wanted to do his own stuff but ended up with a band called dmi (drum major instict). hes an amazing singer.
wtf? does it count as a cover??? he wrote this song.... and there's lots of rumors of what happen with rebelution and matt, but i'm not going to bring it up. it's old news. he's doing his own thing and doing a great job at it.
@kurtfan4894 one could have been "weed" I mean Eric did write the song green to black (just listen to how he sounds) for all we know Matt wasn't a stoner but thats just an opinion
@shit4datube hey, Iv tried searching for Matt but can't find him. Can you please send me a link? I wanna know the full story of why Matt left the band etc and have found literally nothing at all searching for it on google! lol
i herd he wasnt into the whole stonner style bad like most of the other ska reggae bands like slightly stoopid, and sublime. but hes still good, and rebelutions new cd is bomb
