Details Release Date: Jun 05, 2007; Lead Performance: Big & Rich; Genre: Country

The MuzikMafia founders/songwriters Big & Rich get doused in a flood of overprocessed anthems on this disastrously sequenced third studio CD. Following five schmoopy tunes about mercy and love, the back half of Between Raising Hell and Amazing Grace — kicked off by the rollicking ''Radio'' — just reminds us of what everything else ain't. But when you find yourself enjoying a forced honky-tonk cover of AC/DC's ''You Shook Me All Night Long'' because at least they're trying, something is very wrong. C DOWNLOAD THIS: Radio
