Matthew Good. Hospital Music.

I have listened to this album in its entirety. Unfortunately, it is the single most pretentious album of his collection in making music. The product itself is engaging enough for the average listener. However, the meaning behind the message as Matt Good would convey as 'personal' or 'intimate' tell a different story. A man which claims he has 'nothing to hide' because he's lying through his teeth about how naive and impressionable he thought of is ex-wife is a mockery of true vulnerability. It makes the music less endearing to the ear. In fact, selling out his fans is the truth in all of this, the ones (such as myself) who've fallen off of the wagon, from what the former mgb-band was all about have all disappeared. Matt Good vanished over night, when he decided it was more important to make things appear as though announcing his bi-polar disorder somehow would save his career. Sadly enough, through the so-called irony that is present in the life of Matt Good. . . it probably serves him right.

P.S. Note: facebook is a gimmick. The machine is called the Internet. You decide.
