The latest from this chart-topping country frat boy is the best spring-break concept album ever recorded. It's also the worst, and probably not the last. The titles tell the story: "Suntan City," "Buzzkill," "Sorority Girl." There are fine country variations on this theme (cf. Brad Paisley's "Water"), but Bryan's songs are witless and boring. You end up with a contact hangover, depressed about American higher education.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
