Title: LOVE PAIN & THE WHOLE CRAZY THING
Street Release Date: 11/07/2006
Domestic
Genre: COUNTRY
It's tempting to read these songs--many about hope in the face of potential heartbreak--as an adjunct to Keith Urban's own tabloid-fodder life, which lately reads "ex-junkie country star marries Nicole Kidman, enters rehab." But his three previous albums have similar dark undertones. That would also be an underestimation of Urban's creative powers, which are broad enough to balance assembly-line Nashville pop with emotionally fine-tuned artistry. Breezy rockers like "Faster Car," sweet hooky ballads like "Shine," and readymade big-chorus hits like "Once in a Lifetime" rub elbows with more complex numbers like "I Can't Stop Loving You"--an essay about sad courage that starts with an acoustic guitar and adds instrumental textures as it unfolds--and "Stupid Boy," a tale of loss and self-discovery. It's no coincidence that both those songs climax with Urban's own crying guitar solos. As a player, his bold, midrange-heavy tone complements his most nuanced vocal performances. Another highlight is "Raise the Barn," which Urban co-wrote and sings with Ronnie Dunn. The cheerful tune, inspired by the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, is a tribute to the durability of the human spirit--a subject Urban seems to know more than a little about. --Ted Drozdowski

Rating:  - Good but not his best
LPATWCT is a good CD....I think he should have released a couple more of the songs as singles(FASTER CAR, SHINE or Used to the Pain for example) instead of "reaching back" to "You Look Good in My Shirt" from Golden Road for his current single....I think my favorite CD is BE HERE, but that's probably because it was the beginning of my "Keith Addiction" back in 2005....HE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED PERFORMERS IN MUSIC TODAY (even better than his friend Kenny Chesney in my opinion)...He's one H*LL ...

Before giving you my view of the album, allow me to give you some insight on Keith as a musician and a person. As many know, Keith had a hard fight with substance abuse (as is told in his first album, "Golden Road"). He's had his share of heartache, which has given him wisdom and a clearer view of the reality of life. He is in touch with his feelings and emotions, and his music reveals that. His songs are simply brimming with descriptive and realistic feelings that draw the listener in. He offers ... Read More
Rating: - EVERYONE NEEDS TO OWN THIS ALBUM!

Rating: - Love it, love it, love it
This is the first album by Keith Urban that I've ever bought, and I love his style, lyrics and sound. I'm not a country-music devotee, but I expect to be a growing fan of modern country in years to come because of the enjoyment of this CD.
Rating: - I'd give it TEN stars!
I've had this Keith Urban cd in my car's cd player for over a year without changing it. Who knew Keith Urban is so FANTASTIC!!! I'm not a Country fan and if I hadn't seen him perform 3 songs on "The Today Show", I'd never have bought the CD. Personally, I think only 2 songs are Country songs. He's more Rock and ballads. I never get sick of hearing him!!!!!
