The Incredible Machine stands to be a transitional album for Sugarland.
Inside’s best moments go a long way toward justifying Sugarland’s high profile.
“Life in a Northern Town” should give its unique ensemble a real shot at a crossover hit.
Carrie Underwood can take consolation in being all but certain to win Female Vocalist of the Year for the second year in a row.
The punchiness of the album’s sound should allow it to continue Sugarland’s commercial hot streak.
