Sugarland "The Incredible Machine"

  This song is a great anthem, with a great riff, and an atmosphere that sounds as if Nettles is singing over a valley proclaiming "All We Are." There is also some nice harmonizing between both members at the end. "Incredible Machine" has this looping piano and steady beat that that sounds as if you are taking the scenic route over the valleys and lonely streets there is this nice epic BRIDGE at about 2:18 as we drive over to the other side of the canyon. The next song is"Stuck Like Glue" inside my head with it's reggae tinged strumming and that reg hop delivery of Nettles  as she sings"Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, you almost stay out/Two stuck together from the ATL out/Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, feelin' kinda sick/Just a spoon full of sugar make it better real quick/I say, whoa-oh, whoa-oh, whatcha gonna do with that?/Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, come on over here with that/Sugar sticky sweet stuff, come and give me that stuff/Everybody want some." The rasta just gets ahold ofher and she just goes crazy, it sounds like she is having a great time though; did i mention there are also light echoes of Nettles in autotune too? "Tonight" is another good song. The next track has Kristian Bush giving "The Incredible Machine (Interlude)" another voice as he sings in this short interlude. I like the bass in the next song, as well as the touch of accordion and organ, real nice, especially that short driving beat at the end and the sentiment of finding a "Girl Like Me," or maybe not, that did not sound awkward, but I'm not sure if i would like to find one like me. Everyone remember the Mr. men and "Little Miss?" I like those characters, as well as this song, which is an anthem for all types of girls, just read the lyrics. You cannot help but smile listening to the song, girl or not; it just sounds as if it was meant for the stadium. I hate when that happens!I lost my keys, I lost my wallet, but can you help me "Find The Beat Again?" The punky bass and pop-punk attitude, and there is a nice catchy beat with call and response of "Hey!" Would it be correct to say Litany? Organ? check! Well, the sound of track nine is "Wide Open" with that little drum hiccup/tempo change in the beginning as she says "Wi-Wi-Wide Open," and several times throughout the song.Cue the choir;Kristian time to get ready and the drums to end with a nice finish. It's dark out in the world, but if you "Shine A Light" it doesn't seem so bad. This song is a heartfelt piano driven number that "...when you just need someone to remind you/That it's all gonna be okay, I will shine the light/I will shine the light, I will shine the light/When you're staring down your demons/Weighing in your darkest night, I will shine the light/Sometimes we jump into the great unknown/Sorrows, we all will have to walk alone/ But waiting there in the end is a heart that calls you a friend/That's me, clapping the loudest, welcoming you home." These five gears make this record an "Incredible Machine": All We Are, Incredible Machine, Stuck Like Glue, Little Miss, and Find The Beat Again.
