"Our goal was to follow in the tradition of great multi-platinum artists like Elton John, Phil Collins, and the Dave Matthews Band—sales powerhouses who relied on the musical ignorance of their fans," Thomas told reporters following Monday's announcement. "We knew that if we wanted to match those historic giants for sheer lack of energy, we couldn't settle for anything less than total banality. And, though it took a lot of time and effort, I think we achieved that—an album that sets a new standard for trite crapola."


HAHAHAHAHAHA.....hilarious article about the supposed new Matchbox 20 album 'Beige'

the new matchbox stuff iv been streaming from the net is pretty good. not as good as there earliar stuff. but the same could be said for most bands, they get some recongnition a bit of fame and they are too busy living it up to be concerned abotu there music. saying that iv liked matchbox for years, since before they supported bon jovi in 2001 and i cant say that iv heard any song by them that i didnt like. so if this album does exist im sure il get it.

I don't think it does exist (the album cover is depicted as a photo of a bowl of porridge), it's just 'the onion' executing the kind of satire they do best. I can't say I dislike everything matchbox have ever done but the article is very funny.
