CD Review
Melt
Rascal Flatts
By Denise Schoppe
November 05, 2002
Often, when you buy an album based on the popularity of the first single, you find that the rest of the album is nothing like that first cut. However, this is not the case with Rascal Flatts' sophomore album Melt.
The first single off the album, "These Days," has shot up the country music charts and currently sits at number six on the Billboard country singles chart. The 10 other cuts on the new album have the potential to follow in this single's success.
The members of Rascal Flatts have young, pop, boy band good looks and smooth harmonies that border on being too good. The band capitalizes on these assets and combines them with a pleasing, albeit almost too commercial, sound and amazing lyrics to make an outstanding album.
Noteworthy cuts off the album are the clever "Too Good Is True" and powerful "Shine On." The song "Mayberry" will make anyone stop and think as they speak of the world spinning fast and how "Sunday was a day of rest / now its one more day for progress."
The only drawback to this album is that it falls short of being a full hour in length. It leaves you wanting more of the group's vocal talents and emotional songs.
