Signed to the Disney label Lyric Street, they arrived in 2000 as essentially a trio (winning lead vocalist Gary LeVox fronted pin-up boy Joe Don Rooney on electric guitar and Jay DeMarcus on bass) that traveled and recorded with additional musicians to make up a full band. Despite their workingman backgrounds, their repertoire was so pop-oriented that hardly anyone could really call them country, and the group bristled at being dubbed Nashville's Boy Band. Yet while they were primarily marketed to teens (the young set screams their lungs out in concert), a lot of adults found their bouncy, bubbly radio tunes irresistible. And in 2006, when they released their fourth album, the quadruple-platinum Me and My Gang, they sold more than 700,000 records the first week, ending up as the best-selling artists of the year across all genres. Now comes the follow-up, and with the group sharing production credit with hit-meister Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Faith Hill), they turned out an extremely well-built album of heavily layered, grown-up pop. (The one country-ish song, "Bob that Head," about the joys of Friday night cruising in a tricked-out truck, almost amounts to a rap.) DeMarcus has said that the band took its time making the record, and it shows--everything about it telegraphs a growing maturity. Not only do Rooney and DeMarcus play on every cut (which they didn't do until Me and My Gang), but the trio has a hand in writing much of the material that doesn't come from the pens of Nashville's most reliable songsmiths (Jeffrey Steele, Neil Thrasher, Steve Robson, Hillary Lindsey, and headliner Kenny Chesney on "Take Me There"). It all goes down quite smoothly, from the sexy title track to the pain ballad "Better Now," to the (too-obvious) social commentary of "It's Not Supposed to Go Like That." As a measure of that, even actor/singer Jamie Foxx's guest appearance on the silky "She Goes All the Way" blends seamlessly with the rest of the material, much of it crafted to manipulate the emotions with power choruses, stinging electric guitar solos, and throbbing drums. But unlike the Rascals' other albums, there aren't many story songs here. And though LeVox's hangdog tenor hammers home the devastating ache of failed relationships ("Help Me Remember"), there's no standout tune like "What Hurts the Most," and not a lot of this sticks in your head after it's gone. Yes, as the title promises, it "Still Feels Good," but only for a little while. -–Alanna Nash   Customer Reviews   Still Feels Good. And Sounds good too. Rating: 5 I ran out and bought this cd the day it came out. I am so happy with it, I've been listening to it nonstop since then and I know all the words to every song already. It's exactly what I expected from the Rascal Flatts. It's hard to choose a favorite song but I love Winner At A Loosing Game, No Reins and Here. All the songs are amazing though. I defintely recomend it to anyone. =) Feeling good Rating: 5 about this cd as i have with every other Rascal Flatts cd. But like someone else said, it would be cool to see them do a little something different on their next cd...not that i didnt like this. I enjoyed it a lot just saying how much more they could achieve by veering off a little more to the left or right. Well with that being said, this is another hit cd for the guys...like there was a doubt. With such tracks as "Take Me There" (leadoff single), "Winner At a Losing Game" (which was written by all the guys), "No Reins" (classic RF sound) and "She Goes All The Way" (with a surprise guest in Jamie Foxx, yeah that one)...its an awesome collabo between the guys and Jamie. I love that for real. "Still Feels Good" rates right up there for with there other cds. I prefer "Melt" or "Feels Like Today". But you won't go wrong with this cd at all either as each track flows into the next (a good thing) it isnt always for other artists. But for Rascal Flatts it works out very well..especially enjoyed the last track "It's Not Supposed To Go Like That" a sad song but with some meaning behind it and should be listened to more than once. "Still Feels Good" Standout Tracks 1. She Goes All The Way 2. Here 3. No Reins 4. Every Day 5. How Strong Are You Now 6. Winner At a Losing Game Honorables 1. Take Me There 2. Better Now 3. It's Not Supposed To Go Like That 4. Help Me Remember 5. Bob That Head 4.5 out of 5 stars (all gravy in my book) Still Feels Good to me too!!!!! Rating: 5 Well, my boys have done it again! This album is AMAZING!!! I have all 4 of their previous CDs and this one just tops off what was already FANTASTIC music. Lyrically and musically, they've out-done themselves! I can't stop listening to it. If you're new to Rascal Flatts music, this will certainly make you a fan! If you've been a fan from the beginning, welcome to what we have to look forward to - solid music and lyrics from one of the best groups around! I'm so proud to be their fan. I just adore them!
