I find that I have different emotions with Matt's voice depending on the era. I've started listening to Matt with Beautiful Midnight, which was the only album he released in the US at the time. I forget what song was a single here. I am thinking it was "Future was X-Rated" but anyway, I find his voice was in a way more powerful back then. He could hit those high/mid range notes and seem to just keep them going. I loved that. The newer stuff, or I should say, solo stuff, seemed more laid back, and not as aggressive. At the time I didn't like it as much, but as I grew older and life started happening to me more and more, I'd re-listen to the solo stuff and appreciate it more. Much like Matt's music and life were changing, so was mine and it seemed to just go together. I love the way he sounds now, and I love the song writer he has become (although I've always loved his song writing). So I agree, and I've enjoy hearing Matt evolve over the years and even though he just released a new album, I already can't wait for a new one.
