I am a HUGE Lonestar fan and by far this is my favourite of their albums.

It is feel-good music all theway through. Of course it takes two or three listens on most albums to like the music but on this album i instantly liked it on the first listen. Every song is varied in up-beats and downbeats, ballads and happy fun songs. The balance of songs in this album is vast . My alltime favourite Lonestar track - T.G.I.F. which is always a great song to play driving home from work on a friday evening - it puts you in a feel-good happy mood and really sets your weekend off. Listen to it to understand. Then there is Mr Mom - this was released as a single by Lonestar and is one of my favourite ever Lonestar songs. There is a story in ever track and this one is all about a man who loses his job and stays at home to look after the kids while his wife goes out to work! It is a very fun and happy song and has that power behind it to join along and sing in with it.

Apart from those happy jolly songs, there are the ballads, from the slow romantc feeling "Now" which I happen to be having for my first dance at my wedding this year, to "Somebody's Someone" - a soft but sad song about a soldier dying in war! This is the last song on the album - and in my opinon is perfectly placed as the rest of the album is so happy that to put such as sad song as somebody dying in the middle of the album would be enough to put anybody off the rest of the album. But don't get me wrong - this song is good if you dont let yourself get too empotional by the words - something of which Lonestar is very good at.

Other fantastic tracks on this album range from the rocky-blues track of "Summertime" and the women feel good song of "Women Rule The World".

"Class Reunion" is an excellent song about meeting up with old school friends after years apart!

The first song on this album "Country fair" is an excellent song to put first on the album - it really sets the mood and gets you into the music, with a slight rockyness to it - but in a country style - this is a really great song on the instrumental side of things.

All in all, this album is fantastic and without a doubt the best album Lonestar have done up to date. It has been played well over 200 times in the time i have had it and still has not shown any signs of letting me down!!!!
