This review is from: You Do Your Thing (Audio CD)

Once upon a time comparisons to Jennings might have been appropos for Montgomery Gentry. No more. Words like Outlaw must be replaced by by words like Tool between, as evidenced by their metro-sexual biker boyz video for the Shania/Mutt re-hash "If You Ever Stopped Loving Me." (If you think you heard it before that's because you remember the first time when it was called "Only God Could Stop Me From Loving You by Emerson Drive.") Montgomery Gentry is like that one dad of your friend who ownes the 76 Yamaha motorcycle--they USED to be cool.

I am a recent convert to Montgomery Gentry. I now own all of their cds. I love this cd. I got drunk,
gone, if you ever stop loving me, all I know about mexico all of them are great songs. Just what you expect from the boys. Hard driving music with real emotions and real people behind them. It's a party to go to their concerts and it's a party to listen to their cd. buy it it won't disappoint

A HUGE Montgomery Gentry fan finds himself feeling short-sheeted on this one. Their consistent quality of great southern outlaw rock/country is prominent here, however the sum total of this CD just doesn't seem to compare to their previous 3 outings. I had high hopes and a "Hell Yeah" for 'You do your thing', but it seems that even the more uptempo stuff doesn't get out of second gear, and the rest (a majority of slower ballads) could use some 'Speed' if you get my drift...

Don't get me wrong - I hate to hold any artists previous work above their heads always demanding MORE with each new one. However, should the new one be something that either just does not move/shake me or does not show any sort of 'new direction', I get kinda wondrin, wondrin bout how much M&G aren't slaving to the record label or any other CMT-type dork that sez 'just do this and it'll all be OK!!'.

All that said and off my chest, I MUST admit that there are some great tunes on this - 'If you ever stop lovin me', 'the last thing I do','I got drunk' and 'I aint got it all that bad'. Similar themes to past works, however done in a refreshingly new way. MG have become one of those bands to me that even a so-so song is still OK, as long as it's these guys - their sound is great, Eddie and Troy are both great vocalists, the band is ROCK solid and their songwriters are very good (and definitely pay homage to their roots). My only disappointment is when Eddie or Troy sings a ballad and is dealt with a rather crap set of lyrics, and there is not a real catchy hook or strong backbeat to compensate for it (All I know about Mexico, for example). To draw a comparison, take 'Tattoos and Scars' from their debut - a great slow one with a story and a slow backbeat yet moving - not some lame crap about losing a chick that moved to Mexico with a rather ordinary sound to it.

This loyal fan is not totally bagging this effort - hell yeah, I bought it and play it a lot. But this loyal fan thinks these guys can do better, and am looking forward to the next one!

I have just started to get into country music but I must say this is my favorite album so far. Not a weak song on this cd at all.

1.0 out of 5 stars I think a revolution is in order...
I must say, they have made one of the funniest music videos ever for the very originally titled "If You Ever Stop Loving Me". Read more
