Continuing to meld roots and pop into a superb sound!,

Rascal Flatts' third album (not including that DVD thing they had), FEELS LIKE TODAY, continues the rootsy sound started on their last album, MELT. It's present just enough to let you know these guys are not boy-banders--they are the real deal. And of course there's enough pop to endear them to country music's growing teenage girl fanbase.
The serious tone taken on many of these songs may be a bit surprising (unless you remember "I'm Moving On" and "My Worst Fear"), such as the intoxicating openers, "Where You Are" and "Bless the Broken Road." The title track and "When the Sand Runs Out" preach of living your life in the moment (the latter song does this eloquently; the title track, not so much). Superb songwriting and musicianship (Gary Levox, vocals; Joe Don Rooney, electric guitar; Jay DeMarcus, bass) help craft this into an award-worthy album.
Each "Rascal" (yeah, that sounds horrible) contributed a song to the album, and they got together to write the...Read more

Great CD,

This is currently my favorite album. I listen to it in my car, at work, at home. I Just love it. I think that Rascal Flatts are finding themselves. "Bless The Broken Road" is one of their best songs yet. Talk about singing about true love, and being lucky enough to find it. They are also another one I suggest seeing if you get this summer in concert. They put on one hell of a show!

rascal flatts has been my favorite band ever since they released thier first single "moving on" years ago. "melt" was a hard CD to top, but they have deffiantly done it with this one! here is my review on the entire album...
1. Feels Like Today - (music: 10/10) (lyrics: 8/10) this was their first single off the album. although the lyrics are a little confusing and the music video doesn't help you understand what this song's message is any better... the tune is very addicting and the vocal's are jsut amazing. there have been days when i couldn't get this chorus out of my head at all!
2. Fast Cars & Freedom - (music: 10/10) (lyrics: 10/10) this is easily my favorite song on the album. describes a man's strong feelings for his wife/girlfriend years after they met and how when he looks at her he still sees the young girl he fell in love with ... "to me, you don't look a day over fast cars & freedom. that sunset, river bank, first time feeling." the tune is also very...Read more
