They got worse with each new album they made. Their debut is their only flawless record, but Enjoy the Ride is pretty close. Love on the Inside was about half-and-half for me and then the fourth album was a hot mess.

1. Twice the Speed of Life
2. Enjoy the Ride

3. Love on the Inside







4. The Terrible Machine

4. The Incredible Machine

Love the first three. TIM has some bright spots, but overall, I found it to be a major disappointment. I hope it doesn't end up being their last album, but I feel that that's more likely with every year that goes by.

Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life, Twice The Speed Of Life.

Did I mention Twice The Speed Of Life?

Seriously though, Enjoy The Ride is really good and Love On The Inside is good as well (outside of four tracks or so, I like to forget The Incredible Machine ever happened), but Twice The Speed Of Life is one of my all-time favorite albums. There's absolutely zero skippers on the album. Even though I enjoy "Down In Mississippi (Up To No Good)", it shouldn't have been a single. "Fly Away", "Speed Of Life", "Hello", "Tennessee", "Time, Time, Time" and "Small Town Jericho" all would have been better. I think they were already looking forward to the next album when they decided on "Down In Mississippi" as the last single, which is somewhat understandable since it was nearing two years old, but they could have easily went another 1-2 singles - the album was that deep. 

Maybe the best $12, I ever spent.

Twice The Speed Of Life. "Fly Away" and "Hello" are awesome....ok everything is awesome :)

I do like that they gave a nod to Steve Earle on the "Love On The Inside" album though

I haven't listened to their debut in full since it came out (some great songs though), and Enjoy The Ride starts strong but has some filler toward the end. I really like the thematic consistency of Love On The Inside, and it works great as an album; honestly though, and I've always surprised myself with this opinion, but I feel like The Incredible Machine is their tightest/most cohesive album overall. That record doesn't have the highest highs, but as a record I think it's pretty consistent.

Regardless, I really hope they get back together again and put out more music. Or, I'd like to see Jennifer Nettles' music recapture some of the fun of Sugarland's music.

01. Love On The Inside (barely edges out #2)
02. Twice The Speed Of Life
03. Enjoy The Ride
04. The Incredible Machine

I love the first 3 albums and honestly looking back at TIM it wasn't that bad just not great.

1. Love On the Inside - "Keep You" carries this to #1 for me.
2. Twice the Speed of Life
3. Enjoy the Ride - "Stay" was the most remarkable thing about this album, which is sad because a lot of the other stuff on it really drags the entire project down, the hit single included.
4. The Incredible Machine - Bless their hearts, this record was a mess.

With the way their solo careers are going, I'm not sure they'll be on a break for much longer. They'll either get back together or split permanently before the end of this year, is my bet.

I know I missed this, but "Twice the Speed of Life" is one of my all-time favorite records. Every song on there is flawless. "Enjoy the Ride" is also a very strong album with only some minor flaws, but just as many highlights. "Love on the Inside" had some great songs, but also a good number of duds in my opinion. "The Incredible Machine" was a hot mess flop of an album with the 3 singles being the only ones I can stand listening to. However, "Stuck Like Glue" is one of my all-time fave Sugarland songs.

01. Twice the Speed of Life
02. Enjoy the Ride
03. Love on the Inside
04. The Incredible Machine


Favorite singles:
01. Stay
02. Baby Girl
03. Something More
04. Settlin'
05. Stuck Like Glue

Pissed that I missed this poll before it locked, but definitely Enjoy the Ride. I pretty much grew up with that album. I can't believe it really only got 1 vote.

Enjoy The Ride was definitely my second favorite and I can't believe that The Incredible Machine got more votes (albeit it was only 3 to 1).
