* CriticalDissonance: His albums still get generally high marks across the board. However, many fans feel that he's been phoning it in since about ''5th Gear'' onward — main criticisms include "boring lyrics" ("Then"), "failed attempts at humor" ("Ticks", "Water", "Camouflage", "I'm Still a Guy"), and "uninspired singing" (his voice started getting a lot flatter after ''Time Well Wasted''). This may finally be catching up with him, as in late 2011-early 2012, "Camouflage" became his first song since 2000 to miss the top 10.

There are however still many fans of the later music, especially with Brad's singles in '''Franchise/Cars'' movies.

* SignatureSong: "Find Yourself" or "Collision of Worlds" due to ''Franchise/Cars'' movies. And "Whiskey Lullaby'' or "Remind Me" due to collabs.

** "Who Needs Pictures" is about the narrator finding a roll of film and pondering developing it before stating "Who needs pictures with a memory like mine". Only a few years later those pictures would be on a digital camera (which could still be justified if he has no immediate means of reading the memory card), and more contemporarily they'd be instantly accessible on any smartphone.
** A minor example. When "Online" came out, everyone had a Website/MySpace, so he mentioned it. He now changes the line to "Go check out my Website/{{Facebook}} page" when he sings it live.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: A few. [[HappilyAdopted "He Didn't Have to Be"]] is still arguably the best, but "Letter to Me" and "Last Time for Everything" work too.
** Several of his "being open-minded is good" songs ([[RunningGag except "Accidental Racist"]]) can be touching, particularly for people who live in rural America but can't quite fit in there: "Welcome to the Future," "American Saturday Night," "Southern Comfort Zone," etc.

* DontShootTheMessage: "Accidental Racist" provoked considerable backlash at the clumsy handling of a complex topic -- namely, the lingering effects and divides from America's nasty history of slavery and racial segregation. While it is a very serious message which could work well, neither Brad Paisley or Music/LLCoolJ did a good job addressing it.

* CounterpartComparison: Can be seen as this to {{Music/Keith Urban}}, only if Keith Urban was American. Both Urban and Paisley are known for being good-looking, hunky country music artists who broke big in the 2000s and are revered for their guitar skills. Not to mention that both were married to Hollywood actresses (Urban to Creator/NicoleKidman, Paisley to Kimberley Williams).
