Bittersweet. Knowing he created this material while facing death gives it an added weight. It’s so eclectic. Modern and classic at the same time. Vulgar in a great way. Aggressively peaceful.
The harmonica on these tracks sounds amazing and epically beautiful. Willie’s voice in this context really sparkles. Just beautiful, fun and playful arrangements. Really enjoyed the experience.
Already one of my favorite bands. I think this is their masterpiece so far. Blends the two eras of the band perfectly. The old raw and dirty with the newer polished raw and dirty. I love it. Their music always goes straight into my body and gets me moving.
Starts very strong, but the last third is underwhelming and doesn’t have the same urgency of the first third.
Solid album. So many catchy hit songs in one place. Great consistent sound all the way through.
Incredible how sophisticated and yet accessible this is. The harmonies are gorgeous.
