This album is wonderful. I am very pleased the redneck's radio stations kicked the Dixie Chicks out and the Chicks decided that the rest of the world deserved their talent and passion. The music is terrific and the lyrics give you goosebumps. I admire the Chicks for standing up to people who would want to make this country into a dictatorship, our aristocracy is bad enough.

Their best yet, a real rock album and they answer their political critics with the song "not ready to make nice" You Go Girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great harmonies, a wealth of collaborators on this CD; ie, Keb Mo, Sheryl Crow, & Lloyd Maines ( Natalie's dad) to name a few, really crank out one heck of a CD. I think they truly succeeded in near perfection.

they where right about bush,and they are right on now good c-d

This is their best effort yet! Way better than anything on the radio. Cool, smart, melodic, honest and rockin'.

i've always like this group and enjoy their old songs.

listen to CD in my car everyday. one of the best they have made. my granddaughter loves to sing along with them. One of the best girl groups around.

Great music saw the movie about the Dixie Chicks. Had to have the CD

As musicians, the girls are below average at best. The banjo licks can be learned by anyone with one months training. The quality instrumentals are all provided by other band members. The fiddle instrumentals again could be played by any 1st year beginner. Vocals are where the girls shine, especially Natalie. She has an incredible voice. The sisters provide excellent harmony. The quality of the song writing is good in that it is obvious that they wrote this album with passion. Other than that, it is simple basic music, nothing ground breaking here, nothing innovative. Without the passionate lyrics and excellent vocals, this album would be barely mediocre.

I wouldn't have listened to Country Music unless my life depended on it, then the Dixie Chicks got reamed by the Right Wing. I felt for them, but hey--it still was not my type of music. Then came this CD, with three songs (the first three) that ring so true for all of us who don't follow the sheep through life. How lovely. How refreshing. And the film, Shut Up and Sing--made me a fan. Ran up and bought the CD immediately.

I never really listened to DCX before this CD. I have since learned all they have gone through since London. I applaud this new album as it stands for the freedom of speech this country was founded on. I hope they keep this so called "new" sound because it is GREAT!!! All songs are wonderful. From your new fan!!!

More mellow than their first releases but still the Dixie Chick sound and harmony. Great value. Never saw it in stores for under $15. If you are a DC fan go for it!

I was not a Dixie Chicks before "the comment" - but I am now! And I LOVE "I'm Not Ready To Make Nice"!! I've played this one over and over again! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This CD was not as good as I hoped it would be. Some language that I didn't think necessary... The title track is good, but the rest is very "twangy" (more so than usual for the Chicks) and loud. More rock than country.

I ENJOYED ALL OF THE SONGS, WHICH IS UNIQUE. I USUALLY ONLY LIKE A FEW SONGS ON A CD, BUT THIS CD IS EXCELLENT. ONE OF THE BEST CD'S I HAVE .

I just received this CD today and it is absolutely my new favorite! While I'm not necessary a country music fan (and this CD easily crosses genres), I find it emotionally strong and very touching, especially for anyone who may have lost friends and/or alienated family over any war since Vietnam.

Just like us mere mortals the Chicks evolve, grow and change, I love the new album. The Chicks have been through the gauntlet and just like the Phoenix, have risen again, better than ever. Thank you ladies, you are fabulous!

Great music by great Americans. "Courage is grace under pressure" -- Hemingway

This is one of the DXC's best--the music and the message should be heard! Congratulations to them--'Taking the Long Way' back was worth the trip!

Long time listener and Chicks supporter!! I love this CD...You can't really compare it to the others, becuase the sound is completely different!! Well done ladies!! I really enjoy it!!
