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

    I bought the CD because of the song "Red, White and Blue". The other tracks have grown on me. When I first bought the CD, my husband didn't like it. Now, he asks that I play it.

    Best album (country or otherwise) I've heard in a long time. Won't get the credit it deserves from the city entertainment types. Not politically correct enough.

    The first time I saw him, I labeled him a future superstar. The guy's got talent, looks, and character. From his initial appearance on the music scene, you can sense the heart, brains, and innate personal code of the man. His masculinity and sense of humor create a common ground with other men, and it certainly makes women look and listen.

    My husband (SSgt Foertsch USMC) was in Iraq and him and the other Marines bought Unleashed and a CD player and "beer for my horses" was there song!! Even now back from the war when that song is played it brings back memories for them. They posed with the CD there in Iraq, its a great picture.

    As a long time hard rock fan, I can tell you that you will no be dismayed by this album or Toby's concert. I saw him last night in Lafayette, La. I was totally in awe. His voice, the stage, his presence, not to mention his good looks blew me away. To the rest of ya'll scepticals out there, buy the ablum and see him. It is weeeellllll worth it.

    I just wanted to comment on Toby's use of the war to make money and his disrespect for other religions and for encouraging hate towards people with differences. You can't label everyone of the same religion as bad and act like it is funny to drop bombs on them. That kind of thinking is no better than terrorism.

    I have never been a big fan of country music - I'm really a oldies but goodies lover. I fell in love with Toby's voice and lyrics when I first heard "Angry American", then "Rock you Baby. "Unleashed" is the first country CD I've ever purchased. Thanks Toby - you are a great singer/writer and a great American!

    Toby Keith needs a lesson in songwriting and a few hundred jogs around the block. Instead of ranting and raving about "kickin' some a$$" over in Iraq, why doesnt he put down the guitar he uses so poorly and pick up a plane and go help our troops.

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