The lyricism is atrocious
Not a fan of country.
Some rock instrumentation can’t hide shit country music
There is not a single reason why this album should belong to this list. This is neither country nor pop, but something that sucks as much as country and pop do...
Didn’t quite like it, wasn’t my style, BUT it’s horrible how sexist some of the bad reviews are.
every song sounds the same 🤬💔😭 white girl ahh music 3/10 2026/1/11
Her fourth album. Country / Pop. Slow Burn is an apt name for the opening track. This album is slow and man does it burn your ears. The next track starts with the listing of the days of the week trope and that's about as good as the lyrics get on the album. This is soulless, inauthentic, auto tuned bilge.
I don’t like it. I think her voice isn’t interesting and the lyrics are so basic and often just dumb.
What a load of shit
Not for me. After every song I was checking how long I still had to go
Terrible album, even considering that I hate country.
Taylor Swift
Ще ми се тази музика да не се създава изобщо. Дрънкай си на китара у вас, пей си, НЕ издавай албуми. Хората трябва да имат повече самокритика
Instead of wasting words on this, let's just summarize: this is disgusting radio pop garbage and I hate it Nononononono aint no way I'm sitting through a fucking ballad after that shit fucking album fuck off
Thoughts whilst listening to Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves Is it possible to award 0 stars? Are Kacey's family involved in this venture? Is this album generated by AI? Can AI be embarrassed? Are Throbbing Gristle actually quite good? If Dido met Kacey could they develop a song that would put half the world to sleep? What's for tea? Is it chicken?
Not my cup of tea. Poppy generic pop.
You are kidding me this is what counts as country music these days!? It’s just indie pop with an occasional slide guitar and sung in a mild southern accent innit? Either way it’s utterly utterly devoid of anything interesting, novel or particular unique musically. Given I gave Prince 1* yesterday, I’m afraid Kacey, your fate is sealed.
This is #day430 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and… it makes me wonder what someone has to do in their life to need to hear this album before they die. What makes me wonder even more is how much more of this kind of crap is on this list. Like, fucking seriously. This is a 1 out of 5. Looking forward to #day431.
Woulda been a 2 without the false advertising of "space cowboy". Honestly this album brings nothing to the table beyond generic country which just isn't that good.
PAIN I've heard a lot of hype about Kacey and this album in particular. So I was excited to get into this Oh my god it was horrendous. Her voice grated on me so badly. The lyrics were terrible and cringy. And at parts she sounded like an AI bot. This is what people have been hyping up?? The musical equivalent to spending a day walking around home bargains to be honest. No offence to the woman I'm sure she's lovely, but oh my god never again please 1 ⭐️
Listens: 1 Standout Tracks: None This is exactly the type of music I dread listening to on the List. A genre I already don't like, paired with vapid lyrics and meh singing about cowboys, love, relationships and other country-lifestyle stereotypes. This album give off real "trad-wife" vibes; There's a weird pervasive focus on deference to men and self-objectification. "Knowing my place", "I'm not good enough", "I'm only human". Yuck.
This album uses the lines “fear of missing out” and “I wish we didn’t Live so far from each other, I miss my mother” unironically without giving the ‘sweet earnest’ any meaningful musical contrast. I wish the pretty neat production and the at least coherent songwriting could elevate this for me, but I turned my daily scheduled mitski album off for this and so am all too aware how you do this type of music right.
Never heard of her, never want to. So bland it makes me want to punch a wall.
Good god. This is not just music that is not my taste. This is simply just bad music. Some of the worst lyrics I’ve ever heard. Literally sounds like it was written by an elementary school girl with a crush on someone. It was absolutely a terrible album and should be taken off this list. 1.5/5
Bland boring Country Pop
I hate this.
Pas mon délire...
je suis en terre inconnue j'aime pas du TOUT mdrrr je me fais chier je m'arrête track 4
Ugh… I could tell this was going to be a long listen from the very start. Lines like "In Tennessee, the sun's goin' down / But in Beijing, they're headin' out to work" (thanks Kacey for pointing out that time zones exist) on the opening track Slow Burn already set the tone. I might be able to look past lyrics like that if the music was more engaging, but sadly, that’s not the case here. To me, it just sounds bland and uninteresting and completely forgettable. The production doesn’t help either. Everything, especially the vocals, feels too clean, too pristine, too compressed, which is often the case with modern pop albums. Her voice also has a slightly whiny quality that I personally find offputting. The lyrics throughout tend to be overly straightforward, but not in a clever or impactful way, just kind of flat. Honestly, I could imagine this music blasting in a H&M or some fast fashion clothing store, which just makes the experience feel even more nauseating. That said, there are some redeeming moments on here. Every now and then, there are some interesting sonic choices: an unexpected sounding keyboard or guitar line (Velvet Elvis), some Daft Punk-style vocal effects (like on Oh, What a World, though again, the lyrics here felt very naive and cliche), the unexpected disco influence on High Horse. These little touches are what kept me going and you can see that whoever produced this wanted to elevate songs that would otherwise be pretty uninteresting. And I’ll admit, when all the elements like banjos, keyboards, slide guitars come together just right, there are some flashes of beauty. But overall, those moments were few and far between. 1.5/5
This sounds EXACTLY like those Suno AI songs - the resemblance is uncanny. That's probably the only area in which this album has been 'influential' in any capacity.
The lyrics are juvenile, the musical accompaniment is unchallenging/puerile and her voice isn’t particularly pleasing. This is really boring. It’s kind of like The Carpenters if they’d used a steel guitar. Or like most Nasville country music these days.
Well, wasn’t that cute. But no thank you.
I came into this ready to hate it: I do not like pop music, and I do not like modern country music... at all. 95% of it is just pop and rock music sang with a southern accent. And this is definitely that, if not perhaps just a little elevated. There's a young girl in the midwest or the south, however, wearing a sundress and cowboy boots and a flower crown for whom this is soundtracking her whole life, and for that, I reckon I'm stoked she has this record to lean on. Although I didn't totally hate it, I'm also relieved it's over now. Being into a lot of shoegaze bands, I did appreciate the choice to use an airy, ethereal production quality in a lot of the compositions, but this simply isn't for me. I totally could have died without ever hearing this.
This one was just not for me at all. I gave it 4 songs but didn't end up finishing the album.
Bleh, no thanks. On to the next.
Very boring. Totally generic.
I don't really like pop and I absolutely hate country. This was never going to work.
The voice is no bueno, esp when it's double-tracked
Not for me. Neither poppy enough nor country enough to work.
The lyricist should return to elementary school and finish up. So dumb
Ouf.
Fade comme du manger pas assaisonné. Je peux dresser une liste de 1001 albums qui ont leur place dans la liste avant ça. Bon son général mais traitement vocal dégueulasse.
I think my brain just died!
This won a Grammy? How? It’s trite, Obvious and bland as all fuck. I can only assume the people who judge these things are deaf and have never made music in their lives
I don't believe this album should be on the list. First, because 2018 is too recent to determine appropriate significance. Second, because even without enough time, it has no staying power. So pleasant, it is offensive.
Not liked
Decent album. Not my usual go to but good. A lot rockier than Storied from the city. Lots of good tracks. Missed and 50ft queenie stand out.
Rural Taylor Swift
I hope I never like this.
Boring music, bad lyrics. Virtually unlistenable
Bland as bland is.
Nope
shit
Mediocre. There are thousands of musicians singing similar songs and nothing stands out.
Music for horse girls.
i'm alright with a slow burn... takin' my time, let the world turn.... ?! Right.
Gear: Abyss DIANA MR (vegan) Artwork: 🪭🧔🏽♀️❓ Produktion: 🎧😐🆗 Musik: 😑😂🤢 Wertung: 😂/5
This is just pop worth enough "country" thrown in so the tight jeans and pickup trucks crowd will listen. Another trash record.
Country Pop. No, no, no. Not even the best example of the genre.
Vízízű, borral jó. Ui.: mégsem bírtam meghallgatni, kurva hamar unalmas lesz
Not for me. Cheesy lyrics, bland.
Feels very generic.
Meh
Absolutely awful.
impossível
Not a fan :( sounds like an expensive grocery store. Music for babies 🤷
Not my cup of tea.
Ish
🥣
very much not for me. i don't consider myself a country hater, but i feel like newer releases in the genre tend to be bland. whenever i sit down to listen to them, it tends to be very superficial. anyways yeah 1 star, not pour moi.
She's talented but not exactly for me
If I licked an unsalted spud 'down south' it would sound better
dixon dallas is better
c'est super chiant
Sorry, but it’s sooooo boring.
nope
Not for me
Ich hab direkt keine Ahnung, was ich damit anfangen soll. Ja die kann bestimmt ganz toll singen. Aber was soll ich denn mit so einer Country-Musik machen? Also, es tut jetzt auch nicht weh, muss man auch dazu sagen. Die kann auf jeden Fall ganz gut singen, aber es ist nicht mein Ding. Ich höre noch in den Song „Butterflies“ rein, der hat immerhin 170 Millionen Klicks. Das klingt jetzt schon ein bisschen mehr nach Country. Weiter zu „Rainbow“ (200 Millionen Klicks). Scheint mir eine Pianoballade zu sein. Boah ne.
so cheesy
Country pop
Culerísimo. Perro asco.
Not a country fan in any way, this album did not change my mind about that.
Trash
Not a bit of me
Blood awful.
Vapid.
Laitappa naama kuntoon ensin niin kehtaa näyttää.. sitten soitanta kerhoon ja tietokone runkanta (tietokonneen käyttö mussiikissa)... lopetetaan...
Not for me
Saai, en slappe voor de hand liggende teksten. Productie was af en toe wel aardig.
Definitely not my type of music
Bleh. Too slow and melodic for my taste - probably useful if you need something to fall to sleep to
Pop country is one of the things I hate most in the world. This album at least incorporates some interesting other elements like synths and vocoders but it's not enough to make it palatable to me.
Dull and country.
Perverse to include in this list.
No
Not really the target audience for this one.
Hadn't heard of her, so didn't know it was more fucking country shit. At first I was hopeful. Her voice is ok, and it all seemed pleasant enough. Turned it off after 3 or 4 songs. just fed up of it.
I ain't into modern country or singy-songy stuff so this is a miss for me. Sorry.
she literally just copies T swift in this album?
