Hit: 5 Stars
"Sugarland"'s second album "Enjoy the Ride" consists of 11 tracks, most of which gradually almost blend into one music piece. This is one of the feelings it leaves on first hearing. It sounds like Sugarland No 2 is weaker than Sugarland No 1 Twice the Speed of Life. But things are not that bad when you listen to it again.
After their successful first album we'd expect the same joy of both upbeat and intimate music from the trio. But here comes just upbeat music from the duo. Fortunately, the lead singer is still there, her voice too, her energy and style of radiating positive energy with music seems to be there too. But practically gone are the soft, intimate, quieter notes and tunes. Maybe only in "Stay" there is something left of that side of "Sugarland"'s signature art.
They have two 'signatures' though. And the optimistic, filled with energy, loud, pushing signature is there in most of the tracks. You would especially like "Country Line", or "Want To" where the pushing is not overly-loud or overly-pushing, though they are still far from the appeal of several biggest hits of the group's first album. Some other tracks are just a continuous loud exhibition of Jennifer Nettles' vocal potential and instruments that can make the packed stadium dance and cheer, but might be just a tiny bit much for other occasions. Still, tracks like "Happy Ending", "April Showers", and "Sugarland" manage to balance between energizing and desire to sing along. This saves the album. And this CD is also great to listen to while riding a car in an open road (especially titles like "Settlin'"), which fully justifies the title of the whole album. You can still hear artistic attitude to voice and music in most of the album's material. And surely in some pieces you cannot but enjoy the rock-ish country sound ("One Blue Sky", "Mean Girls", and many others). Though "Mean Girls" is a bit over the top of the country/rock'n'roll boundary.
Fans and listeners would certainly like the album, maybe after the second or third go at it, when the time for listening to universally positive and loud music is right. But "Sugarland"'s producers should think hard to make the third album great on first hearing, not to leave the group in a big contemporary country music pool floating among numerous soundalikes. Hopefully, Sugarland No 3 leaves us without any doubt about the group's sure future in the charts and, most importantly, hearts of listeners.

I'll admit I was more than a little curious how Sugarland would fare without Kristen Hall, and her writing skills. No worries!! While the songs are a little different, they are no worse for ware. The CD as a whole is great. The vocal's are amazing as usual, music is upbeat, positive, and fresh. The "Duo" have become fantastic entertainers and we will be seeing them for years.Free Music Review: Sugerland

I like the CD. It hasn't grown on me like the first CD yet but I am hopeful that it will! The music and lyrics are great. Nobody else like them!
