Album Review: Rascal Flatts - Still Feels Good

im not a big fan of the guys either, but i went to the store today i decided to buy the album, i have listened all the way through and i thought it was pretty good, i kind of like it. people dont be discouraged to buy it, you can listen to it on one of the other country websites. you will see that all of the songs do not sound the same. but hey at least you can try it before you buy it.

The song “No Reins” is perhaps the best song they’ve recorded - and also the most Restless Heart sounding song I’ve heard from anyone outside of RH themselves. Rest of the album is junk though.

I like Blue Bell’s double chocolate chip cookie dough, which probably means this album isn’t for me. :P

I like “Take Me There” and “Everyday” but the rest of the album is painful.

Rascul Flatts is my favorite and you don’t talk about em like that this album rocks my world!ok LOL, your ears are dumb. how can you say that, when you can’t sing like gary or rite these killer songs!!! One star your kidding me!!! IMO best ablum this year maybe there best one yet. I love you joe don!!!

Wow. Do you ever say anything good about these guys? I think a more unbiased person towards RF should write reviews. They are very talented and cut great songs! This review is lousy just like everyone you do on these guys.

I listened to the album and have to agree with this review. Billboard put up a similar review…you might enjoy that.

Hot girl wants a ride climbs up inside
Feeling that rhyme right along with him
Now he’s cruising don’t wanna loose it
Loop around Sonic and right back on it
No gear, drive by
Up and down that’s right
Bob that head

Seriously, how much more suggestive could you get without coming out and saying it? That song is a complete disaster. Besides the suggestive interpretation, it’s a wannabe rap song with a Big & Rich vibe, they hilariously name check themselves, and they sing about cruising around Sonic.

I didn’t make it that far before I quit listening, but I checked it out since you mentioned it, and wow, that is terrible. How could a song like that ever be taken seriously enough to make the cut on a major release?

Those are indeed the actual lyrics, but it’s really about bobbing your head to music. You know, like headbanging, only slightly less violent.

I totally agree with this review!! Every song they sing sounds the same to me! Also hearing them sing live is like fingers running down a chalk board!! They appeared in my hometown the first part of this year and people were calling into the radio station saying how lousy they were and that their opening act was better than them. The people were wanting their money back.

I DON’T agree with the review!
You find some BIG songs on the album:
Winner At A Losing Game
She Goes All The Way (amazing song and vocal performence!)
Take Me There
…
I think you give 1 Star, because the are such a BIG name in county music.
1 Star for the review…

It seems to me that they are going for sales instead of quality. Their concerts are getting boring (Ive seen every single one), and their cds are going in the same direction. Don’t get me wrong, I still love them, but they need to take a step back and create good, soulful, heartfelt Rascal Flatts stuff and stop making it all about the benjamins.

I think this is considered “selling out.”

Typical comment by someone who thinks they know everything after reading a couple of paragraphs and that music is only good if it makes money. Forgive me if that’s not you, I’m trying to make a point using your line of logic.

How about you tell us what makes this album artistically compelling instead of falling back on sales numbers as a crutch.

I’m so beyond disappointed in myself for even HOPING they may have put something on “Still Feels Good” that even hinted at country music. And I mean country as in, even the EVOLVED country format of today. I guess “Winner at a Losing Game” comes close… but my word. Let’s just let them cross on over to the AC stations already and get it over with. I’m sorry guys, but it’s just gotta stop. And what HAPPENED at the CMA performance with Gary’s Le “VOX” ??? Yikers. I guess, on the Target-sold albums, there was a “bluegrass” cut. But I didn’t get that version because I wouldn’t go purchase this CD even if I found $15.00 on the ground with a note “BUY RF MUSIC” sharpied on it.

Seriously, Jim! I hate to admit that I’m actually kinda used to that now with Joe Don… his stylist… always pusing the fashion limits! Have you gone back recently and looked at their first album cover? Joe Don has the short hair and almost teenage looking face… a completely different person! I was playing requests on Monday night and when I grabbed the album I almost fell over in shock! PS - I don’t think he was wearing any underpants…. !!! ;)

Hahahaha! I’m on the air right now CRACKING UP, thanks to you! End of undergarment discussion, now! ;)

No! No! No! If it was Gary’s butt, that video would DEFINITELY have been pulled… and SOONER! It was Joe Don, and for that I guess I can be thankful for small favors! Are you trying to freak me out over here, Jim? I’ve gotta go soak my head in hot water to erase the mental picture. If there’s dead air, it’s your fault. :)

Ugh. More hot water for the head. ;-) Happy Happy Weekend! I’m off to listen to my new music courtesy of The 9513!
