One thing you can’t call Rascall Flatts, is inconsistent. They keep recreating banal music as fast as the Treasury is creating a worthless dollar. I have had the sour sounds of Unstoppable floating through the office. I wish there was such a thing as a sound freshener. The pop-production sounds great.  Each Gary LeVox vocal is tuned to pro-tools perfection and the bgv’s are tight, but I didn’t know that the cd would be one long song? Each track is an exact replica of the previous one. Unstoppable, by far, is the most linear album that the band has recorded. This record is a desert, no valleys or mtns, and just when you get a glimpse of something refreshing you leave with the aftertaste of sand and cat excrement. Analyzing it from the inside out, the title track is every inspirational song that country radio is spewing out of it’s mouth. I am sure we will all hear it on the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition soundtrack. Lines, such as, “Get on Your Knees and dig down deep, you can do what you think is impossible” are meant to stir the most down-trodden hobo, but unfortunately it is going to fall on the ears of soccer moms who live off their husbands’ income. This unintentional concept album, would have been a great come-back record for artists, such as, Edwin Mccain or Clay Aiken. There is nothing out of the ordinary on this cd, just three guys who care more about image and nothing about music. Joe Don Rooney was quoted saying that “this is the best album yet.”; however, the first three tracks belong to the Nashville String Machine. Countrpolitan would have be a breath of fresh air compared to this record.   Unstoppable is undoubtedly pop not country.
