This guy is a huge star in the country format but I'm really not a big fan because of his need to sing such poor material so often. His choice of songs is obviously the issue with his catalog as I can barely find a good song on his album usually. He did have one album that was a total success but that was way back in 2002 which is now ten years. He's been inconsistent since and here we go with another album where he begins with a slow song called "Come Over". This song is exactly what I mean a weak composition with pop production making it so stiff and stale that it isn't even listenable.The next track is the duet with Tim McGraw which is getting radio play right now and it's just OK as well. The Chesney fans who've made him so successful will love this disc because this is the same drivel that they've been loving for years. Songs like the "A Small Town" which is just craptacular. I don't know if you could find anything less offensive, dry, passe, boring and vomit enducing if you tried. Not only does this song make your stomach want to spew all its contents on that track but the next one is nearly as sickening.
The 70's AM radio styled "Makes Me Wonder" is almost acceptable but the production takes all the dynamics out of the music. It is just so safe and polished as to not be abrasive at the slightest so his old granny fan-base won't be offended by the noisy stuff the guitars might make. Holy freaking hell Batman another ballad! Too fucking many on these awful songs creating an album of filler. He at least attempts something up-tempo in "Time Flies" that is pretty typical fare for Kenny Chesney and his island pop ala Jason Mraz. Oh look more ballads that continue to the albums close.
I'd like to say these words to Kenny Chesney his management team his record label and anyone who thinks this is good music: FUCK OFF & pull your fingers out of your ears because this is not good music this is pedestrian bullshit garbage and the reason your industry is in the sorry state that is. You keep releasing shite like this to the public and expect them to buy your product for the bloated cost you charge at retail. I recommend nobody buys this music but everyone steals it burns it to a disc and mails it back to the label with a note telling them it wasn't even good enough to keep for free!
