    This is a great album with some smooth licks and attitude. I noticed that some dickhead at EOnline saw fit to stereotype all those who may enjoy this album as xenophobic red-necks. What a hypocrit. Can someone please give that angry asshole a hug?

    Toby used to be a great vocalist and songwriter when he was a bit serious and a bit lighthearted. Now, it's pure bravado, machismo, and arrogance. I don't care if that's how he is in real life, but I don't need that attitude in EVERY song. Nor do I need him parading the American flag around to make money. I want back pre-How Do You Like Me Now? Toby. That had heart.

    "Thank God", for Toby Keith, his musicis so supportive of our Armed Forces. My son is serving over seas, and his Shock'n Y'All music gives me strength to go on every day, and motivates others to support our troops. Thanks Again for a wonderful album. Keep up the wonderful work.

    Keith has a gift for wrapping angry thoughts in man-of-the-people plain-speak, with a Lynyrd Skynyrd-meet-Jimmy Buffett friendliness. But underneath, there's often a set of mean cliches. [Dec 2003, p.138]

    Keith is happy to be a dirty old SOB, cracking jokes, drinking beer, and flirting with the ladies, and that makes Shock'n Y'All a fun, rough, rowdy album that wins you over despite your better impulses.

    If he approached these songs with the slightest hint of subtlety, he might get his point across, but he's happy just hammering everyone with his trailer-park politics.
