I love this album. I love its rough edges but also Johnny’s innate vulnerability. June’s entry half way through adds energy and joy. What a great duo! Folsom Prison makes me proud to be an American, in spite of our high incarceration rates that made this album possible. Yay, America!

Kendrick Lamar’s album boldly captures complex mix of anger and joy of being Black in America — poetry worthy of a Pulitzer Prize. Plus, he tells us that his penis costs money. I had to deduct a point for that one.

Spinal Tap but in a good way.

Too much. Oh my. At the risk of sounding pretentious, but this album is like a Rubens. Eventually, it makes your eyes and ears hurt. Baroque paintings aren’t for me and neither are The Avalanches.
