Description of Me and My Gang:
This fourth effort from the soft-rock-masquerading-as-country band Rascal Flatts moved more than 721,000 copies its first week out, which let the female-friendly trio rub elbows with some mighty heady company. Only four other country artists (Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, the Dixie Chicks, and Tim McGraw) have rolled out numbers like that, and only 24 other acts total (including Eminem, 50 Cent, U2, and Coldplay). So what's the hook, besides Gary LeVox's wounded tenor and Joe Don Rooney's boy-band face? Clearly, it's the songs. Or it usually is. On Me and My Gang, "What Hurts the Most" is the one that'll end up on a tape loop in your head, though "Yes, I Do" memorably frames romantic yearning and regret with ersatz reggae rhythms, and the sexy "Cool Thing" does a slow burn. The problem? New producer Dann ("King of Excess") Huff bloats too many tunes with screaming, by-the-book guitars and general bombast. And despite his über success with Faith Hill and Keith Urban, Huff has never really understood what makes country, well... country. Instead, he insultingly works in a snippet of steel guitar and a couple of family lyrics--e.g., the melodramatic "Ellsworth" is meant to pull the heartstrings of anyone who's seen the cruelty of Alzheimer's--and thinks he's thrown Nashville a bone. Worse, "Backwards" boringly reworks that hoary ol' country joke "What do you get when you play a country song backwards?," the title song is a Big & Rich ripoff, and even God gets dragged in for a half-baked attempt at middle-America resonance ("He Ain't the Leavin' Kind"). C'mon now. Call these boys pop and be done with the pandering. Joe Don's famously photographed derrière got a fairer crack than this. --Alanna Nash
Me and My Gang Reviews:
pretty good 
2008-09-05 - rascal flatts are a good band, that being said i either like a song by them or totally dislike it there is no in betweens this album has five songs on it I would listen to regularly. stand,what hurts the most,my wish,he aint the leavin kind, and life is a highway. the singer is a great vocalist in my opinion. I like this cd better than thier others.
Great CD! 
2008-08-03 - Every song on the CD is wonderful...these guys are so talented, and I love every thing they sing...
Great Songs!
2008-06-19 - I like pretty much all of Rascal Flatt's songs that are on the radio. This C.D. has some of the best of those songs and has some good ones that aren't on the radio and I can get through all of them, unlike with some other CDs where a songs so horrible I have to skip it.
The Rascals are never flat!
2008-06-05 - Rascal Flatts has, again, produced music that must be considered for a CMA award. Great music
Super Recomendable!!!
2008-04-20 - The delivery time and condition was, as usual, nothing less than excellent. Thanks again for that. Regarding the product this is definitely one of the best cd's I've bought... of course if you like this music genre (country balad, rock country and so on). Great lyrics, great musicians and specially great violin arrangements which is what I love the most of country music. It's a really versatile mix of styles... a "must have".
