This fourth effort from the soft-rock-masquerading-as-country band Rascal Flatts moved more than 721,000 copies its first week out, which let the female-friendly trio rub elbows with some mighty heady company. Only four other country artists (Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks, and Tim McGraw) have rolled out numbers like that, and only 24 other acts total (including Eminem, 50 Cent, U2, and Coldplay). So what's the hook, besides Gary LeVox's wounded tenor and Joe Don Rooney's boy-band face? Clearly, it's the songs. Or it usually is. On Me and My Gang, "What Hurts the Most" is the one that'll end up on a tape loop in your head, though "Yes, I Do" memorably frames romantic yearning and regret with ersatz reggae rhythms, and the sexy "Cool Thing" does a slow burn. The problem? New producer Dann ("King of Excess") Huff bloats too many tunes with screaming, by-the-book guitars and general bombast. And despite his über success with Faith Hill and Keith Urban, Huff has never really understood what makes country, well... country. Instead, he insultingly works in a snippet of steel guitar and a couple of family lyrics--e.g., the melodramatic "Ellsworth" is meant to pull the heartstrings of anyone who's seen the cruelty of Alzheimer's--and thinks he's thrown Nashville a bone. Worse, "Backwards" boringly reworks that hoary ol' country joke "What do you get when you play a country song backwards?," the title song is a Big & Rich ripoff, and even God gets dragged in for a half-baked attempt at middle-America resonance ("He Ain't the Leavin' Kind"). C'mon now. Call these boys pop and be done with the pandering. Joe Don's famously photographed derrière got a fairer crack than this. --Alanna Nash

Perfect CD - what more can you say about Rascall Flatts. ALL their songs are good. Some so sad I literally can't listen to them if I'm already in a sad mood. Upbeat ones lift me up high.
LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every song is excellent! April 9, 2009

I love listening to this CD. From start to finish, every song is memorable. To me, some of the best songs on here were not ones that they released as singles. My favorite songs are actually the last three on the disc, "Cool Thing", "Ellsworth" and "He Ain't the Leavin' Kind". In my opinion, it was their best to date!

Awesome February 7, 2009
Writer Girl (New Joisy!)
I think this might be my favorite RF Album. It's got your touching with Ellsworth and your hard core country with Backwards and the song you love singing along with What Hurts the Most and I Feel Bad.... Awesome album from awesome band.
