This album is easy to listen to. The thing is, while it’s politically-conscious, straightforward, and well structured—all generally good traits—it takes zero risks at all. The acoustic backing is the definition of conventional and the writing is straightforward to the extent of superficiality (not that I think it was superficial—Chapman’s singing and songwriting definitely struck me as authentic, just that it really lacks depth). I get it grows out of the pacifist protest song tradition and that that genre almost mandates an easily palatable tone with broad, digestible lyrics but it really doesn’t interest me that much.
