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 ueber 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 derriere got a fairer crack than this. --Alanna Nash More Rascal Flatts

 Me and My Gang is a very entertaining CD April 6, 2006

I really enjoyed listening to this new CD by Rascal Flatts. Stand is my favorite song on this album. It is a song with a very positive message that you can overcome hard times if you stay focused and don't give up. The title track is a fun upbeat track about hanging out with your gang of friends having fun. What Hurts The Most is another gem here. This is an excellent song about the pain of breaking up with someone, and the difficulty of expressing your feelings to that person. I could really relate to the lyrics of this song. Cool Thing is another highlight track here. This song is about how two people find each other and fall in love. This song is also about how it feels when the person you love leaves you. I love Gary LeVox's emotional vocals on this song. Ellsworth is a very touching song about a grandmother suffering from Alzheimers disease and how a special place conjures up memories of long ago. I love the lyrics of My Wish. This is a beautiful song about all of the good wishes of love and prosperity you could have for someone you love. Me and My Gang is a very entertaining CD. I enjoyed it very much.

The actual song Me and My Gang was the song played at my sister's wedding as the wedding party-our family-rode up the aisle on our motorcycles. So this album has alot of meaning for me. The variety in the songs and sentiments will have you laughing, rocking and crying. My Wish For You will leave you in tears if you ever lost anyone you loved who loved you. The whole CD is a great ride. I recommend it! Enjoy!

A friend of mine turned me on to Rascal Flatts and since then I can't get enough. I really enjoy their music and the stories behind the lyrics.
Soulful and catchy July 30, 2006

I'm a new fan of Rascal Flatts. I love their music. It's catchy, heart wrenching, enchanting, soulful and simply blissful. Before the CD was released, I caught a glimpse of the music video for What Hurts the Most and it broke my heart. This CD is filled with ballads and upbeat songs, but also beautifully put together. I couldn't resist pre-ordering a copy.
Here are some of my thoughts on a few of the tracks on this CD:
Stand: A beautiful lyric about being steadfast when things get hard and going through hard times makes you stronger
What Hurts the Most: Heart-wrenching ballad about losing someone you love. The music video will make you cry.
Backwards: Witty, fast and very catchy tune about how wonderful it would be if you could get back everything you've lost if you could simply play a country song backwards. LOL
Me and My Gang: I love this song! It's fast, clean and makes me want to get up and dance.
My Wish: This is a farewell song; sort of like a good-bye letter you'd write to someone you love. I love it. The words are filled with such goodness, such wonderful desires for all that life has to offer for a cherished one.
Thanks for making the choice easy May 23, 2007

I am using the song "My Wish" for the mother/son dance at my son's wedding. He is in the Marine Corps and along way from home and this song says what I want to say to him. Of course, I will probably be blubbering all the way through it! It is hard to pick things my son will like for the wedding when he is not here to give me his opinion but I want the wedding to be special and what he and his bride will want. This song made at least one of my choices easy. Thanks, Rascal Flatts!
