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

 Loving the Flatts. =) September 29, 2007

I got this cd for Christmas last year. I was a sort of Rascal Flatts fan at that point. I listened to pop radio, not country but sometimes they'd play "What Hurts The Most" And I loved it. And I am soo glad I wanted to get this cd, it's AHmazing. I listen to it all the time. Every song is amazing and I highly doubt I could pick a favorite song. There's insprational songs like My Wish And Stand, a few sadder songs like What Hurts The Most and Ellsworth. And then there's their amazing ballads, I Feel Bad, Words I Couldn't Say, To Make Her Love Me, and of course the cds athem, Me and My Gang. Every song is wonderful so go out and buy it!
Another solid release from RF March 30, 2007

"Me & My Gang" is dominated by good lyrics and catchy notes - uplifting and inspiring on tunes like "Stand," sorrowful and heart-tugging on "What Hurts the Most" and "Words I Couldn't Say." Some of the sounds are predictably close to other RF songs, but the lyrics and the harmonies make listening worthwhile. On the "Is it pop or is it country?" debate: I would say this album is both, and should appeal to fans of both genres. I've played this album over and over, and I like it more each time. If you've liked any of Rascal Flatts' earlier releases, you will enjoy this album.

This is the best cd out of all the ones Rascall Flatts have made. The other cds have good songs on them but not all the songs do i like or I think even good. EVERY song on this album rocks, great music, great beat, gets you moving, makes you think about a old love or new love just a great cd. I Can listen to it all day. I suggest if you are RF fan Run do not walk to the nearest Record store and buy this awesome album.

Thsi album is absolutely great, all of the songs are just so full of emotions and the voice of LeVox just makes it even better, all of the album is a masterpiece though the songs that outstand the most are "What Hurts the Most", "Pieces" (My personal favorite, I just love this song I think I've played it over 400 times in my itunes library already), "My Wish", "Ellsworth" (Nice story the song describes) and "Stand", if you like music with great tunes and lyrics and specially with MEANING, then this is the album for you, by the way this one contains "Life is A Highway" as a fourteenth track unlike the previous April 4rth release.
SIMPLY AWESOME!! June 27, 2007

I'm not even a country fan but I fell in love with the song "What hurts the Most" and since I bought their last CD because I fell in love with "Bless the Broken Road, I decided to buy Me and My Gang.
I must say I was impressed with the whole CD. Each song is wonderful. There are ballads, and up tempo tunes. My Wish, To Make Her Love Me, Yes I do and Pieces have turned out to be my favorites.
I recommend the entire CD!!!
