Great album Brad. Here’s another interesting article on Brad Paisley http://itsallaboutmusic.tv/bradpaisley

Great review, CM. I agree about this being a fatherhood album. You can see Brad’s songwriting fingerprints all over this album. “I Hope That’s Me” is one of the best songs, in my opinion, and should be a single. I wish the record was more traditional, though.

Brad Paisley is boring. All his songs sound a like and his voice is always the same range. Welcome to the Future sounds like something else he sang before. He’s not the savior of country music like some people obviously thinks. JMO!

This record has grown on me over the past week – I don’t care for Then, Water of Catch All The Fish. The title track is great, Welcome to the Future is also very strong, but my favourite is probably She’s Her Own Woman, which (as was pointed out in the review) has a real maturity to it. This album discards a lot of cutseyness that I’d begun to dislike about his post-TIRES catalogue.
Also, I should mention that once again, Frank Rodgers has done an absolutely masterful job with the production – that guys a freaking genius! Listening to all the elements in American Saturday Night, which never feels cluttered, yet really create so much of the songs atmosphere, it’s bloody brilliant…

Brad Paisley is hit or miss with me. Whereas “Then” is considered a weak song on this site, I liked it from the first time I heard it. It’s not the best constructed love song released, but it is a easy love song to listen to.

If that’s the flip, on the flop side “Welcome to the Future” is a miss for me. I’m sure it’ll be played in heavy rotation as all Brad’s songs do and will be another chart topper for Brad, but I don’t care for it much.

Good review, though. I’m not used to seeing many mainstream artists get high ratings here. I’m going to have to sample a few tracks off the CD to see if I’d be willing to buy it. :)

I think “The Pants” is non-P
C enough for his fans that like that kind of stuff from him. Personally, I’m kind of glad he took some criticisms to heart, if he did. 5th Gear really was a low point and I would have hated it if it had been repeated.

I think this is his best record since MUD ON THE TIRES, but that’s still his ultimate for me. Although this one may grow on me more.

Spot on review CM!! I’ve gotta say based upon the first several listens this album ranks right up there with “Part II” as my personal favorite Paisley Albums. The two weakest song on the album imo are the singles that have been released so far and they’re both solid songs, everything else on there is amazing!
