In Pieces
In Pieces is the fifth studio album by American country music artist Garth Brooks. It was released on August 31, 1993. It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart. It was also a huge hit outside the United States. In Great Britain it was Brooks' highest placed album on the charts. It reached the top ten of the country album charts before it was issued officially (due to imports from both the United Statesand Ireland). Critics felt that this would ruin the album's sales once it was issued. However, when it was eventually issued in Britain in early 1994 it went to #1 on the country charts and reached #2 in the pop charts and also produced two top 40 hit singles on the British pop charts. --Wikipedia

My Kind of Country
I wasn’t terribly impressed with this album when it was first released, and was somewhat surprised to find that I like it a lot better now than I did then.

Entertainment Weekly
Each of his albums has skillfully blended the old (Western swing, story songs) with the new (heartland rock, admirable message songs). Given that record buyers have gobbled up more than 30 million copies of those albums, Brooks has no reason to deviate from that mix. And on In Pieces (Liberty), he doesn’t.

Daily Vault
Brooks has always wanted to have it all -- to be your best pal and the daring outsider, to simultaneously rebel against and embrace his core country audience. In Pieces is an apt title for an album this splintered by Brooks' seemingly contradictory desires, but when it works, it works very well.
