Do not pass Go until you go to Matthew Good's Hospital Music page and purchase his new CD - it is ridiculously awesome, yes, I said - ridiculously awesome. What that means is that it's one of those 'must-haves' in your collection. You will have to have it played in your car, at home, at work, in your friend's car, at your friend's house, at the dentist's office while you are in the waiting room, at the restaurant where you're eating...you get the picture. I promise you'll love it - just a promise now, not a pinkie-swear. I realize I am completely bias in my assessment but, oh well, it still kicks ass regardless.
Mr. Good has been on my must-play list for many years but, unfortunately I've always lived far from where he toured or was in the middle of my own shit and oblivious to the world around me, and after listening to this release (having streamed it repeatedly from his website) I could hear his maturity. He's lived, experienced, and you can hear this in his lyrics & feel it in his voice. Not everyone has felt life, they just go day-to-day so they exist but not feel it (wow, I am a walking emo-bomb this morning).
But then again I could have no idea and be talking out of my ass. I just know it's good.
See you in Buffalo, New York, Mr. Good!
Peace, Love, & Hospital Music, yo.
