You Get What You Give (album)

You Get What You Give is the third studio album by American country music group Zac Brown Band.

The tracks "Let It Go," "Who Knows," "Whiskey's Gone," "Colder Weather," and "Make This Day" were previously live versions on their album Pass the Jar.

[14] Samantha Stepp with The Badger Herald gave it a perfect rating, calling it a "masterpiece", and saying that album "offers a soulful voice, pleasant melodies, honest lyrics and that classic fiddle-and-steel guitar combo that has come to define pure country.

"[9] Eric R. Danton with The Hartford Courant called it "a solid, strong outing" and commented saying "The circuitous path to success has done the band good: it's given Brown and company time enough to develop a winsome country-rock style without undue meddling from the major-label mediocracy, and it shows on You Get What You Give".

"[13] Whitney Pastorek with Entertainment Weekly gave it a 'B' rating, and criticized the album's lyrics, saying they "too often pander to a certain good-time demographic.

"[10] Steve Morse with The Boston Globe gave a mixed review, saying many of the songs on the album "fall into the sugary commercial country column".

[8] Gregory Robson with AbsolutePunk gave it a '79%' rating, saying it was "comfortable and corny; that's not to say that the album is weak, in fact it's rather strong, but the saccharine nature of the lyrics and the tepid arrangements do leave a bit to be desired.
