Well a comeback album because he was gone from solo stuff for a few years and came back. So technically... But you're right in the true sense of the meaning comeback album.
That's what I've been saying! I love Girlfriend as much as the next guy, but the fact that that's the only album critics seem to care about really ticks me off. 'Sunshine Lies' is in the running for the top spot in my favorite of his albums. It's great from start to finish... and the bonus tracks are great too!
Girlfriend was great; 100% Fun, even Altered Beast was better. Critics suck as they don't dig deep, they seem to emphasize the mainstream. Glad to see Matthew back and not even revisiting "Girlfriend". This is great music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasn't too wild about Girlfriend, but In Reverse is the best album ever made by anyone. Ever. Well that's my opinion. I think Back of my Mind is the best song on Sunshine Lies. God, I am so f$&!ing happy I found Matthew Sweet's music.
@spiderkiss The vinyl version has four extra tracks (Dark Blue, Badass, Could You Need Me? & When You're Gone) and the iTunes version has six (the same as the vinyl but with the addition of Stick It & Meltdown).
I agree this is one of the best albums all year, Matthew Sweet is amazing. Too bad the reviewers are grading it low because they want another "Girlfriend". Girlfriend is one of his best albums but jeez, Sunshine Lies is still a great comeback album.
thanks for the upload. it is a great album. period.
