I absolutely disagree with the review. Sugarland’s music is awesome. Jennifer and Kristian are some of the only artists who actually write there own music. Yeah Taylor Swift does but she sounds like crap. I love this album I totally recomend it.

P.S:Go pick up Live On The Inside and Gold and Green. They both rock.

I thought the live songs on the deluxe fan edition are amazing. I like the rest of the CD too, particularly “We Run” and “Take Me As I Am,” and although I think I prefer the sound of their second CD to this one. But “Life in a Northern Town” and especially “Come On Get Higher” are the ones I play over and over. The deluxe fan edition is definitely worth getting for these.

Have you been to a recent concert???? These two are energetic, all about their fans and into their music. I attended the first “Love on the Inside” tour concert in Asheville, NC and they played 8 of their new cuts on the CD and they were ALL welcomed with open arms, words sung by everyone in the auditorium… They are brave, not afraid of what people think, trying to be humble despite huge recent success, dealing with a lawsuit and touring like crazy all at the same time. I love all their music, her voice, his voice, his instrumentation and the togetherness of the band. It all works!!!

I totally disagree with this review. The songs do not sound alike to me in the least. There are a few that I loved from the second I heard them such as Fall into me, All I Want To Do, Come on Get Higher, and Wishing others like Steve Earle, We Run, Love and Take Me As I Am all grew on me over time. The only song I don’t care for is Genevieve but if I only dislike one song out so many I think I got a deal. I have always been a Sugarland fan and this album did not disappoint. Jennifer sings upbeat songs like she is having the best time and sad songs as if she has lived every moment and cried every tear. This review is simply unfair.

Didn’t read everyone’s comments but in my opinion, this album is nothing short of AMAZING. When I first listened to it, one or two songs stood out as the best but now that I’ve played the CD 50+ times, all of the songs are amazing in their own way. I think they did a great job of showing the various emotions that loves makes us feel … a tapestry of emotions. “Keep You” brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard it. It brought me right back to a very painful breakup when I was in my early 20’s .. that first real heartbreak (like on the album cover). “Joey” at first sounded a little like her voice was wailing the name “Joey,” but when I went back and REALLY LISTENED to the lyrics, I understood the desperation in her voice .. I’m not sure but I think the Joey she’s singing about died in a car crash after a night out that she passed on … she’s wondering if had she gone out, would he be here and she’s singing to him .. of course her voice would have more raw emotion in it. I just think when I took the time to really listen to the songs, many of the production elements made perfect sense; very inspiring and pure creativity!

When I listen to this album, I hear a very pure form of creativity coming directly from the souls of Jennifer and Kristian. They dug deep for many of these lyrics and I’d have to say from start to finish, this will be one of my favorite CD’s of all time.

Ask their other client Vhonda Shepard (Ali McBeal fame) how her career is going. Be careful Gus you might just get what you ask for.

Really, objectivity speaking, it’s “bad.” You folks are Sugarland fans so will dig whatever they put out. Personally, I like some of their songs. Paid for this CD and wish I hadn’t. This was either rushed to release or these two just think everything they touch turns to gold. Unfortunately, for the latter, not so. Anyone see how many units this sold so far???

Thanks Thomas, that’s what I’ve ben thinking since I read this review. He just didn’t point out enough “bad” stuff to warrant that rating for me.

your verdict 2.5 stars is less bad news for this album than it is for you, i’m afraid. it’s simply the wrong outcome. to justify such a low rating you’d have had to come up with more substantially negative points than you really did.

that same-sounding impression that you describe doesn’t come from too little musical variety. actually, there’s no lack of that. it derives, more likely, from jennifer nettle’s distinctive voice, which puts a dominant stamp on anything she sings. but even if this, together with the intended sparse instrumentation, provoked a sentiment of some songs blending into each other, it still couldn’t push this effort into less than 3 stars territory.
