Thomas grasped the microphone in his left hand and rythmically beat on his chest for most of the night, rarely deviating from center stage, playing his hits as he went.
Thomas, the 28-year old lead singer of the multi-platinum alternative band Matchbox Twenty, probably wanted to play it safe when he opened his concert with his chart-topping single Bent Monday night.
The rest of the band was about as uninspiring in their stage presence as Thomas was, preferring instead to back their hits up with strong guitar and drum backup.

The mohawk sporting, lip-pierced, twenty-something musician known as Adam Richman recorded his major label debut, "Patience and Science," in a homemade studio in the basement of his parents home in Allentown, Pa.

Thomas' growth as a singer and songwriter are apparent in this CD.
And at times, "Something To Be," Thomas' first solo CD, evokes the sounds and thoughts of his work with that band.

Equally important to Rob as the diversity of the album's sounds and styles was that it not be a mere collection of songs, but reflect a personal and musical journey.
As for the album's musical direction, Rob notes that "I wanted to do something different, but not just for the sake of doing something different.
I'm already in a great rock band, so if I just made another rock record with two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer, and keyboards, it would be redundant and I wouldn't have been using my time to do something creative and new.
