    For the most part, Unleashed puts the grits and gravy back into mainstream country.

    What this needs is a shot of Keith's humor, largely MIA here. [26 July 2002, p.69]

    Sadly, Keith's least-clever disc yet was almost completely written by him for the first time.

    "Beer for My Horses," a rangy duet with Willie Nelson, and easy grooves like "Ain't It Just Like You" don't chase away the overbearing taste of "Red, White and Blue," the album's centerpiece first single. [#9, p.150]

    Nashville at its most belligerently formulaic. [Nov 2002, p.105]

    America's shame all placed in one album. Nauseating musicianship, nauseating jingoism, nauseating everything.
