Genius.

Yoakam makes an incredibly laid back country album that sounds at home in the background of your favorite imagined honky tonk late night joint.

Didn't hold up as well as I'd hoped.

Hard to be objective about this album -- first record by The Fall that I encountered and I f***ing love it.

Stunning. Brilliant. Obviously.

Better than I remember it

It was ok.

Kinda bloated, could be reduced to a single album in my opinion.

Spotify link only has 2 songs. Found full playlist on YouTube page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPjcc9Vi-9s&list=PLwTsihu-EGpB-o1DIUfRUq0O2b1VSinBY

Street Life was awesome. Rest of it was pretty noodley for my taste.

it's so mellow man.

awesome

It was ok, but did not feel very essential. Maps and Y control are great though.

eh, a little goes a long way.

This was the first actually great front-to-back listening in this journey.

So so so so good. Best of the year. Best of the decade?

eh that one song is enough

I get it, but if I am going to listen to Metallica, this ain't it.

Genius.

Much better than I expected. Several gems on this record.

not my thing, but i can see why some might like it.

Stunning. Brilliant. Obviously.

Inspired.

Problematic artist, inspired album

Soothing, atmospheric, fun!

Pleasant surprise. Full album not as depressing as first song.

Exceeds expectations.

Inspired. Should be the first Sly album people are allowed to hear.

Overhyped. A couple of really great singles, but that's pretty much it.

Better than I anticipated. Wide-ranging and fun.

Exquisite. Perfection.

Surprisingly good
