The music of this talented Nashville-based all-boy harmony quintet is clearly aimed more at the prepubescent fans of 'N Sync and the Backstreet Boys, not middle-aged aficionados of George Jones or George Strait. Marshall Dyllon's sound is wholehearted, irony-free, and earnestly adolescent on chirpy small-town odes like "God Bless This Town," "Live It Up," and the title tune. While they revel in the agonies and ecstasies of first love (or first infatuation, as the case may be) on dreamy, moon-in-June cuts like "All I Wanna Do," "So Bad," and "She's Like a Child," they display a playful and endearing lightheartedness on tracks like "I'll Never Miss That Girl." As lead singers, the various band members clock in stylistically somewhere between pop's two "Prince Michaels"--as in Jackson and Bolton. Yet when they raise their voices in unison, the resulting harmonies can carry the day. --Bob Allen

One of country's fastest-rising acts, Sugarland arrive at their follow-up to 2004's triple-platinum Twice the Speed of Life in a considerably altered state. Chief songwriter and founding member Kristen Hall is gone, and producer Garth Fundis (Trisha Yearwood) has been usurped in favor of crossover hitmaker Byron Gallimore (Tim McGraw, Faith Hill). One could argue that these are the predictable results of success--by opening for such megastars as Kenny Chesney and Brooks & Dunn, the Atlanta-based trio was forced to retool its organic, singer-songwriter, folk-rock sound to fill arenas. And while their intricate vocal harmonies added a subtle creative dimension to their debut, Enjoy the Ride is made up mostly of songs ("County Line," "Mean Girls") constructed to showcase lead singer Jennifer Nettles's big voice in ways the previous album did not. While the repertoire was written by Nettles and surviving partner Kristian Bush in collaboration with proven songsmiths Bobby Pinson, Lisa Carver, and Tim Owens, much of the wistful intimacy of the first album is now diminished. Furthermore, it seems foolish to now call this act a duo, as Bush receives very little time in the spotlight apart from his vocal harmonies and performance on guitar and mandolin. None of this should matter on the charts, however, since the real focus was always on Nettles, whose twangy, force-field soprano more than carries the day. As before, the lyrics are upbeat and positive--if the message of the first album was of flight and searching, the theme here is of digging in. The winsome Nettles does a fine job of selling it all, positioning herself as the Ambassador of Optimism, the Deep South successor to Jo Dee Messina. --Alanna NashAlbum Description
Sugarland, with the help of producer Byron Gallimore (Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Lee Ann Womack), deliver the same ferocity on Enjoy The Ride. From the catchy coming-of-age kick-off single and chart-topping "Want To," to the reflective rocker "County Line" and the hopelessly optimistic "One Blue Sky," the combination of Jennifer's powerhouse country-soul voice with Kristian's passionate harmonies and deep-rooted musicality hits home, even if these two road veterans, each with a decade of club experience behind them, hardly ever see theirs. "If we can't go home, we do in our minds," Kristian explains of their songwriting process, which on this record, includes collaborations with country artist Bobby Pinson ("Want To"), Brad Paisley's co-writer Tim Owens ("Settlin'"), old pal Jeff Cohen ("April Showers") and Nashville local Lisa Carver ("One Blue Sky," "Everyday America," "County Line," "These Are The Days"). "There's a sense of nostalgia," Jennifer continues. "You pull from the time when you were figuring out who you are as a person. Like in 'Want To,' it's not only a story of falling in love, it's about that moment or a choice that could change your life. And with 'County Line,' it's about a place where you have your first kiss or get in a fight or talk about football and that time when you felt most free."Customer Reviews:

Suprised Me.......2007-05-21
Thats The Way My Heart Goes- 5/5 definitley one of the best of the album
great single choice
Enjoy The Ride- 5/5 Should've been the big single, it is sooo catchy and fun... the best song on the album
Wasted Love- 2/5 Not the best but certainly not the bad. It doesn't compare to the other 9 tracks
I Need A House- 3/5 I think Boy I Used To Know or Can't Be Loved would be better choices for a single, but very catchy and fun
Calling All Detectives- 2/5 The weakest song on the album and very cheesey the song I skip over the most when listening
Boy I Used To Know- 4/5 Very catchy, and good lyrics. It is another song that maybe should've been a single
Can't Be Loved- 4/5 This song is sooo good it should definitley be released as a single
I Love Making Love In The Morning- 5/5 Sooo catchy, and I just love this songs naughty side because it is still sooo playful
Beyond Tonight- 5/5 The better ballad.. don't get me wrong I love oxygen but this song is alot nicer
Oxygen- 4/5 A very touching ballad and very catchy
Over all this album delivers and I love it (but not as good as A*TEENS)
Good Album.......2007-04-14

A-Teens Are Gone But Their Music Lives On! .......2006-07-09
While some may think that the title of the record is a request, the songs are far from making this album an understatement. Leading off the album is the infectious "Enjoy the Ride," as Marie demands listeners "work with the beat." The versus are kinda slow, but when the chorus takes charge, it is musical bliss. "Wasted Love," follows the indie kind of beats which makes Marie sound more like Abba then the A-Teens. Third from the album is her debut single, "That's the Way That My Heart Goes," which peaked at No. 2 in Sweden. Taking a cue from Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Outta My Head," once the song begins with it's dumdadumdumdeedeedee it's hard to stop listening. The man voice in the background after the choruses is something reminiscent of the A-Teens work, which makes the song more appreciated. Throwing back to the 80's is "I Need A House," Marie's bubbly rock tinged single that has currently peaked at the Top 40 in Sweden. What really makes this song is the lyrics, ("I need a room to sleep in, I need a coffee and a kitchen sink,") Lyrically, the song sounds silly, but Marie's vocals blend perfectly with the guitars and euro bobs and beeps. "Beyond Tonight," is the first ballad off the album and is very laid back, which kind of throws off the album. Nonetheless, it's a very good song with some interesting lyrics, ("This ain't no one man show, no solitary game.") The lyrics sound more mature for Marie coming from songs like "Oh...Oh Yeah from the A-Teens 'Pop Til You Drop' album. "I Love Making Love In The Morning," is my favorite song on the album because it feels like Marie let's her hair hang down. Some argue that this song sounds provocative but she gets away with it. The lyrics gently scratch the service of being provocative like "I love making love in the morning, your breath against my skin," the beats are playful and Marie sounds like she is really having fun with this upbeat pop number. "Boy I Used To Know," brings Marie full force into the pop scene of *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. The songs has sort of a dark beat and the chorus once again features a male voice which makes this again sound like a perfect A-Teen's song. It would be awesome if all four of them could get together to sing this song. Every album has a weak, filler song and to me it's "Calling All Detectives." The lyrics are definately clever, ("Calling all detectives, calling CSI...evidence never lies,") but the way that it is spoken and not sung during the song ruins its momentum. "Can't Be Loved," is another soft ballad but it is not a strong as "Oxygen," which is simply Marie's best effort vocally. From the whimpsical oh's during the chorus to its lyrics ("I get so high up here, I can hardly breathe, I need oxygen,") this song is soothing and the perfect way to end an album.
It's a shame that the album overall only peaked at No. 9 in Sweden and quickly fell of the charts. It is definately a strong debut with a few minor drawbacks. The album is short of songs, only rounding off at 10. Secondly, Marie has blossomed into an extremely gifted song writer, yet her talents were not contributed to this album. After co-writing the latin infectious song "Cross My Heart," and the tender acoustic ballad, "In The Blink of An Eye," it would have been interesting to see what she could have written here. Oh well, I guess why there are sophomore albums, right?
Marie hits gold!.......2006-06-18
1. Enjoy the Ride 4/5- Great opener to the album, catchy and fun.
2. Wasted Love 3/5- Well written song, lags a bit by the middle.
3. That's The Way My Heart Goes 5/5- First single pulled from the album, dancey, very much Britney Spears' older style of pop
4. I Need A House 5/5- Second single, kind of campy and cheesy but something to roll the windows down and sing to in the car.
5. Beyond Tonight 5/5- Amazingly beautiful song, totally single worthy, the ballad shows off Marie's voice well.
6. I Love Making Love In The Morning 3/5- Ok song, the beats and lyrics do not match at all...trying to turn a sex song into something happy and campy...blah.
7. The Boy I Used To Know 5/5- Awesome dance song, really catchy lyrics and echoes...single worthy
8. Calling All Detectives 4/5- A lot of people dont like this song but I think it is really catchy and well written, love the sound effects in the background.
9. Can't Be Loved 5/5- Great song, kinda latin in style, reminds me a lot of Thalia's newer stuff.
10. Oxygen 4/5- Another beautiful ballad, sorta corny but Marie sounds amazing.
All in all the album is worth the import price...A*teens fans will love it as most of the songs are very much like their work. At 10 tracks the cd is kind of short, I am hopeful that Marie will rerelease the CD with more tracks later and hopefully in the States!! If you love a cd that u can just pop in and enjoy singing to while makin your day a little happier, then "Enjoy the Ride" is one of the best pop albums of 2006, cant wait to hear more from Marie!!
