  1. Far more '70s-style easy rock than rap/rock bombast.

    They all sound like pop songs... yet they all feel like country songs. [Aug 2004, p.107]

    Kracker's voice is too banal--and his material too mundane--to cut as deeply as his rural heroes. [9 Jul 2004, p.88]
  4. Blender

    Kracker's Southernisms feel a little rote and undigested. [Aug 2004, p.142]
  5. Largely absent of originality.
  6. Confused rock and r&b conceits wander into onrushing 16-wheelers of c&w—barbershop quartet-ish background vox, crisp git-fiddle plucks, lyrics equal parts syrup and cheer. The tightrope he's walking is dental floss, but he still leans into every note.

    A worthy effort by a great artist ...but I do think Kracker needs to consider putting some rap tracks on his next album...
