Sugarland release 'The Incredible Machine' today, Oct. 19, the duo's forth studio album. Jennifer Nettles' powerhouse vocals are evident, as well as the number of arena rock-laden tracks, like the opener 'All We Are,' the title track or even the pop-punk 'Find the Beat Again.'

But with elements of today's mainstream pop, '80s rock, Auto-Tune, reggae dialects and even soulful, stripped-down gospel, it's hard to pinpoint the album's concept -- except that it holds a barrel of anthemic, domineering sing-along records.

"We wanted another world on stage," Nettles explained to Entertainment Weekly about the album's visual concept, which they deemed "steampunk." "We wanted something fun, a visual aesthetic to be inspired by."

Still, the album -- solely written by Nettles and Kristian Bush except for 'Tonight' and the lead-off single, 'Stuck Like Glue,' which had some help from Kevin Griffin and Shy Carter -- bears some standout tracks. Although not a huge fan of the album's lead-off single, which incorporates the ongoing Auto-Tune trend as well as a reggae-driven interlude, the love tune's bubble-gum percussion keeps it a country-pop contender. Favorites, however, are the album's closer, a gospel-channeled piano ballad 'Shine the Light,' and the Lady A-sounding, acoustic-driven 'Little Miss.'
