The well-crafted set of 13 new tunes, highlighted by a series of upbeat, instantly contagious rockers — "Faster Car," "Once in a Lifetime," "Raise the Barn" (with Ronnie Dunn on a salute to Hurricane Katrina rebuilding efforts) and "I Told You So" — will deservedly find fans from country and beyond.

What you will hear is an album that’s part syrupy adult contemporary, part rootless flyover rock, and part airtight pop.

Brass-flecked tracks like "Shine" and "Faster Car" show he's best when he skips the singalong arena choruses; leaner productions like "Stupid Boy" show he's accomplished in ballads, unafraid to scuff up his smoothness.

As usual, the 39-year-old Urban shows he's more than just some pretty-boy country-pop puppet -- he's got an endless supply of hooks, he can hold his own on guitar, mandolin, bouzouki, piano and umpteen other instruments (including something called a ganjo), he's got a hickory-tinged voice in a class with Rodney Crowell, and he's not afraid to turbocharge his country melodies with some seriously rocking guitar solos.

KING OF PAIN' On Urban's downbeat new album, the country superstar turns into a bit of a buzzkill

As a country album, a pop album, or something in between, Love, Pain, & The Whole Thing is simply bad.

One of the best all around albums I purchased all year. No matter what mood you are in, there is a song for you on this album, country fan or not. |

I'm not a KU fan, but this CD is awesome. Check track #'s 5 and 6. The piano in #5 is soul wrenching, while the thumping bass and rock-a-billy groove of #6 are fun and addictive. |

I am a huge fan of Keith Urban, but this is not Keith at all. Yeah i love the song and the messages attached to them but its just not him. |

I am a really huge fan of keith urban. the song i like the most is once in a lifetime, or sine. i think keith should put shine on air, rather than stupid boy!!
yes i do think that love pain and the whole crazy thing is a good album, but keith a word of advice to you in your next album please put some more up-to-beat songs on there.

Keith Urban is by far the best male country singer out there. His voice is so tantalizing, I could listen to his cd's over and over again! I dont think there is one of his songs that I dont like. The lyrics inspire me to be a better person everyday. Keep up the amazing work Keith! |

I came across Keith Urban by accident. I'm typically not a fan of the genre but watching him perform on Saturday Night Live fresh from his stint in rehab, I was very impressed. Clever lyrics (Shine, Once in a lifetime etc...) especially my personal favorite Stupid Boy which sadly describes me to a "T" . Keith is now a new favorite right up ther with Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Fergie (that's right, Fergie), My Chemical Romance etc... |
