RonGMay 24, 2006Another self serving album, preceded by a self serving media blitz that details, once again, their political views. The first song released is childish and has none of their prior energy except foot pounding temper tantrums. She's not ready to make nice, well fine, how about making good music instead.

TheCriticJun 19, 2006Once again these Bush bangers have put out another piece of liberal garbage that should be banned from everybody's ears but communists. Dixie Chicks GO TO HELL!!! If you want real country check this out: "I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning" by Bright Eyes

RyanDNov 6, 2006LAME!! Its obvious that the only people who are giving this cd a 10 are people that want to make a political statement. Looking purely at the music and the lyrics, this CD absolutly sucks.

ColbySMay 26, 2006I can already say that this album sucks, even though I hate country music to begin with. Why? Well, maybe because they had to drag up three-year-old shit nobody gives a rat's ass about any more to promote it.

LillyCJun 12, 2006Loved Hmoe, hate this one. The Chicks need to get a clue, get their heads out of their a**es and start making music again, or this will be the last we hear from them. Talent cannot replace ignorance, I guess.

DonCMay 22, 2006At one time this group was my favorite; if I hear their song being played now, I stop listening to the station playing them. Personally, I think all three of them are idiots

Finally, they put their music where their opinionated mouths are.

On first listen, Taking the Long Way seems too somber--in need of a bit of levity and more than a couple of uptempo songs (like the sexy, '60s-flavored "I Like It") to resonate for the long haul. It also seems to lack the writing quality that Darrell Scott, Patty Griffin, and Bruce Robison brought to Home. But on repeated plays, those concerns dissipate.

BlenderThis album has some of what was missing from Home: fire, ugliness, resentment. [Jun 2006, p.135]
