More Than You Think You Are
More Than You Think You Are is the third studio album from American rock band Matchbox Twenty, released on 19 November 2002 on Atlantic. It followed Yourself or Someone Like You (1996) and Mad Season (2000), and it found the band changing direction once more, this time leaning towards harder rock than on either of those records.
Five singles came from it: "Disease", "Unwell", "Bright Lights", "Downfall" and "All I Need". The last two had limited reach, with "Downfall" released only in the United States and "All I Need" only in Australia. Sitting between the band's early successes and their return with North in 2012, it suits anyone curious about the edgier, post-grunge side of their sound.
