Title: Their 5-Star Album Is Still In The Future
Review: I have been waiting for a GREAT album by this extremely talented group ever since WIDE OPEN SPACES. This one comes the closest to being solid, yet still manages to just miss the mark because of its lack of variety and its overproduction. Most of the songs are good, though, some better than good. Yet there is nothing as engagingly humorous here as "White Trash Wedding," from their last one ("Lubbuck Or Leave It" is an amusing country song title, though). Otherwise, this is much more musically complex and interesting than HOME... and congratulations to The Chicks for the defiance of the red state insistence that one must agree with everything a Republican president says and does or one is unpatriotic (it doesn't go both ways, not surprisingly; if the president happened to be a liberal Democrat, it would be open season). So keep fighting, girls, and making fine music. Now, next time, can we hear those smiles again?
