    His fifth album leans toward slow, thoughtful stuff, like 'Home Sweet Home,' in which Shelton flees the Nashville circus for the comforts of a breadbasket backwater. But he's at his best in funny songs like 'Green.'

    A vigorous cross-section of wallop and weepers that revels in its down-home personality.

    What he isn't, however, is an album-oriented artist, and that's clear on Startin' Fires, his fifth studio release. There's a little bit of everything here, and that's part of the problem.
