Matchbox Twenty – "Unwell" Atlantic; 2003 3.2 By: Dax Mumberson, Pitchfork Contributor There are songs that define an era, and then there’s “Unwell” by Matchbox Twenty—a song that limply gestured at defining something before retreating back into a GAP sweater of its own design. Released in 2003, but spiritually 1998, “Unwell” is a murky broth of acoustic sincerity, radio-safe angst, and the sonic equivalent of a lukew...

Released in 1990, this song boldly launched a thousand awkward glances across car radios, shopping centre PAs, and family BBQs. It’...

Scandal’us – Me, Myself & I (2001) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Pitchfork, 10.0) In an era bloated with faux-indie self-seriousness and turn-of-the-millennium testosterone-pop, Me, Myself & I arrived like a rhinestoned meteor, obliterating subtlety and redefining post-reality-TV sonic maximalism. What begins as a breakup anthem quickly transcends genre, gender, and good taste, ascending into something close to pop transcendenc...
