Same style, same reaction

The new Rascal Flatts album sounds remotely the same as all their other albums, which never surprised fans. In “Unstoppable,” the songs are still the same anthem ballads the trio has always recorded and it doesn’t matter that the new album follows the same equation.

Listening to a Rascal Flatts album is like going to a good friend for advice: You can always trust them. Any Rascal Flatts fan would be upset with any kind of change.
Like most of their other tracks, the song “Unstoppable” starts in a slow romantic ballad and then eventually builds to a fun anthem with the chorus. The chorus is usually the strongest part of the song.

The good-natured beginnings grab the listeners with their passionate and slow starts and then surprise the listeners with strong playful choruses and endings.


On the other hand, some of the trio’s songs are sultry and passionate; the song itself is slow and gentle. The track “Things that Matter” is a bittersweet song about the important things in life, like a father watching his daughter in her ballet recital. Those are the songs that touch the hearts of many.

Although the songs still follow the same distinct pattern and the album can get very repetitive, the style and repetitiveness of the songs grab the listeners and they become forever fans.
