Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing by Keith Urban

Pros: A beautifully crafted record.

Cons: There will still be some who will be haters.

The Bottom Line: This is one of the best releases of the 2006 year and is the kind of record that will be still be played years from now. It's that good.

Review: Being passionate (some would say obsessed) about music has lead me to develop an ability to pick, with pretty darn good accuracy, the potential hit factor in a song. While this ability hasn't always transferred to the artists singing the songs I did get ...

Pros: Guitar work is phenomenal, sincerity in lyrics, vocals

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: Keith Urban once again comes on strong with his fourth studio album. A definite country must have.

Review: If you were to ask me who my favorite country male singer is I wouldn’t hesitate to say Aussie Keith Urban’s name. There is always a passion and warmth to his music whether the source is his rich, personable baritone, his nimble guitar playing or his ...

Pros: Well produced album with some awesome songs.

Cons: Not country, rides on the female fans.

The Bottom Line: It might not be Country Music but it is an excellent album showing his talent even if he was drunk while recording! Four stars because I know he'll do better.

Review: Keith Urban seems to have it all. He is super talented guitar player, he has Aussie voice that gets ladies buckle their knees and still is enough "rock and party" so it is okay to guys like him too. He has rocketed to be a superstar and learned what kind ...

Pros: Very Listenable; rock/pop tones

Cons: rock/pop tones less blue grass sounding country

The Bottom Line: Another good effort from Keith Urban. Fans will enjoy this album.

Review: In spite of his nationalized drinking problem, Keith Urban has turned out a nicely done album. There is no song that I hate or have even skipped after listening to the album constantly since its release on Tuesday. While its on step away from the ...

Pros: Some unique, catchy songs that you won't be able to get out of your head

Cons: Too many tracks that are just so-so

The Bottom Line: It's not up to par with "Be Here" and "Golden Road," but it's worth a listen because there are some really good songs on it.

Review: Keith's last CD "Be Here" has been spun around in my CD player so many times that I was beyond excited when he, at last, released a new album. It's amazing the guy has time to record at all considering he's on the road most days of the year... The ...

Pros: Same Keith Urban you've heard before, a couple great tracks.

Cons: Same Keith Urban you've heard before, too many breaking-up songs, doesn't break new ground.

The Bottom Line: This CD is a decent listen as far as recent country releases goes, it just didn't live up to my expectations for Keith Urban.

Review: As a disclaimer, I find it really hard to review music since it's such a personal thing, however this is my best shot at the latest studio release from Keith Urban. I know many Urban fans will love to string me up at the mere thought of calling any of ...
