So I would edit the title of this thread but I can't? Too much merging...

I love the album title. Its really unexpected and quirky. I like it. ;)
I'm super anxious to hear the second single already. I hope we don't have to wait long!

That sucks. But I guess it makes sense. Since "Tough" didn't really do anything and they'll need to release a second single soon.

Well, here's some good news at least:
Looks like Kellie has a new Christmas single out. Target released "A Very Country Christmas" and Kellie recorded a version of "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" and it looks like she is set to perform it on CMA Country Christmas.

^ Glad that she's got a new Xmas song finally. I love her rendition of Santa Baby, but I was beginning to get tired of that being the token holiday song for Kellie Pickler (charted in 2007, music video was released in 2009, and then she performed it in 2010 on CMA Country Christmas).

The album is being produced by Frank Liddell who has produced Miranda Lambert's albums. Luke Wooten, also.

That's exciting, but I'm a little worried about the lack of hits and the album release so soon.

allmusic.com review-4 out of 5 stars
It made some sense to gussy Kellie Pickler up as a genuine diva on her eponymous second album -- she's a reality star veteran after all -- but the makeover didn't quite stick. Too corny to truly seem glamorous and lacking the self-effacing panache of her idol Dolly Parton, Pickler came across as a girl dressing up in her big sister's clothes: charming enough at a glance, but the loose fit, not to mention the glue on the sequins, is all too apparent upon closer inspection. Kellie wisely puts the spangly threads away in the closet for her third album, 100 Proof. The title alone gives a good idea of what she's getting at here: she's serving the hard stuff, potent and straight, and it has a kick, one that hits harder than anything she's done before. A lot of this is due to the smart selection of producers -- Frank Liddell and Luke Wooten, the former instrumental in shepherding Miranda Lambert's transition from TV to respected recording star and now performing a similar feat here, stripping Kellie's music to its basics, emphasizing hard country over cornpone comedy. Pickler will never be mistaken for a gutsy brawler but she never adopts a crazy ex-girlfriend stance, either. She merely plays it clean and simple, sometimes adopting a heavy-handed twang but usually sounding comfortable in these down-home surroundings of Telecasters, steel guitars, and acoustic guitars. The back half of this tight 35-minute album drifts slightly into sleepy, pretty territory (the title track veering just a bit too close to pageantry) but curiously, this is where Pickler reigns in her vocal mannerisms, so they come across as heartfelt, while the purer honky tonk -- "Where's Tammy Wynette," "Unlock the Honky Tonk," "Stop Cheatin' on Me" -- resonates in a way her earlier records never suggested. In short, 100 Proof is the album where Kellie Pickler stops being a TV star and turns into a genuine recording artist: it's an album that's not just good when graded on a curve, but good by any measure.

All her Facebook previews this week have been amazing! I can't wait to get this album on ITunes at Midnight tonight! I agree with Billboard, this is going to be one of the best female traditional albums of the last 10 years, certainly since Womack's CMA winning work of art. I just hope this time radio "gets it" and Pickler finally takes her turn at the top of the radio charts where she should be.

I love what I have been hearing. Currently listening to track eight.
She has some very good songs here. The brilliant material and her clear voice together are amazing.

Oh wow this is freaking amazing! REAL Country music in 2012! What a concept!
The bonus track "Arm Candy" coulda come straight off an 80s Dolly album! Too bad it didn't make the hard copy of CDs in stores!
