Jul 6, 2015I am not a fan of country, but after seeing the acclaim that Kacey receives I checked this album out and I was thoroughly pleased. She has a great voice and is an expert in storytelling. This album is gonna fill the best albums at the end of the year.

Jun 23, 2015Pageant Material isn't as good and consistent as Same Trailer, Different Park. The difference between both are in the way the lyrics are presented, they're still good but it feels that Kacey and her writers could 've done better.

Jun 25, 2015It's good, but is no better than his debut album. His debut album is better because contains songs liveliest and it makes a difference. Anyway congrats Kacey.

Jul 24, 2015I expected this one to pale in comparison to "Same Trailer ...", but I'm delighted to be proven wrong. Some of the credit must go to her stellar songwriting collaborators, but the bottom line is that this is a rich, superbly written and impeccably recorded country album, with ear-worms galore. The title track is a hoot.

Sep 7, 2015Although Pagent Material isn't as good as Same Trailer Different Park, there are some songs on this album that really tug on the heart strings and just one listen makes your heart break for her. And as usual, Kacey's lyrics are so expressive and unique that it makes this album a good listen.

Sep 13, 2015Kacey Musgraves is the best country singer to come out of this decade. The sweetness of her voice is nothing in comparison to the brilliancy of her lyrics. She's truly the torchbearer of much better country music in the years to come.

Jan 15, 2016Great album. She has a fresh voice but also is an amazing songwriter. Talking about daily thing, like karma, yolo, living in a small town, family, friends, pot. Isn't to different from her last critically acclaimed album, but you can see a growing in her.

Apr 4, 2018A great follow up to her grammy winning debut album. With her amazing voice and spectacular songwriting she continues to give use amazing music that has a great message.

Dec 1, 2021Musgraves plays up her lyrical prowess to the detriment of the instrumentation, which is crisp but generic and unremarkable. Neither is there much stylistic variety in terms of vocals or even the attitude Musgraves brings to her songs.

Dec 21, 2015Listeners with open minds are strongly recommended to give Pageant Material a try. It’s brimming with wit and wisdom, and it really should have featured on more end-of-year lists.

Aug 6, 2015Eschewing Top 40 twang's shellacked production as well as God-and-guns patriotism, she adopted a gritty, unfettered small-band approach. Pageant Material maintains those standards, but spruced-up production and the "aw shucks" wonderment of her new reality.
