The country music band Sugarland released their new album, The Incredible Machine, on October 19. The duo is composed of singer-songwriters Jennifer Nettles (lead vocals) and Kristian Bush (vocals, mandolin, acoustic guitar, and harmonica). Founded in 2002, their second album produced their first two # 1 singles, "Want To" and "Settlin'," and won the duo a Grammy for "Stay." In 2008 they released their third album, which has produced three more # 1 singles with "All I Want to Do," "Already Gone" and "It Happens."
Sugarland is best known for their style of country music, which has a versatile range from fun songs to heart-felt ballads. Their past hit singles are an example of this, and all of them have tended to be quite enjoyable. However, this new album is not as impressive as previous work, and it is sadly disappointing. Many of the songs did not sound like country music, which is ridiculous for a good country duo. Even the album's title track, "The Incredible Machine," was a bland, uninteresting song.
Only one song on the album, "Stuck Like Glue," actually redeems the band's credibility because it is a very entertaining song. When listening to the song, it sounds like a cute little song about a close and loving relationship. However, once the music video is watched, it is clear that it is more about a psychotic girl that stalks and eventually kidnaps a man that she is enamored with. The fact that the song has already made it to the top spot on the country Top 40 list is a clear reflection of the song's catching popularity.
If anyone was planning to go out and buy this album, it would be better not to bother wasting money on it. Instead, go on the Internet and download the album's hit single because it's the only enjoyable song that it has.
