this is pure rock plain and simple. Hope you eat up a bunch more of them edibles and do a follow up . Goes to show you might be country but deep down inside you are still a rocker

There’s so much about this album I love … for starters there’s a creative vision here that’s bold and original. The guitar tone is raw and unmistakable. The aesthetic and music dips into the 70s while still sounding contemporary and unlike anything else done today. The songwriting is strong too. But here’s the problem … the production is poor and ruins all of the above making it unlistenable. This would’ve been an easy 10 if the intention was to put out a killer record as opposed to a ‘screw you’ one.

Get in the car, push play, and take a nice long trip while forgetting about everything else and let the music do what it’s supposed to. Reality will be there when you get back.

A friend turned me on to this album and mentioned there was a Netflix film. I listened to this a few times and then became obsessed. I couldn’t stop listening to this album and so I kept on and on for weeks. I listened to the lyrics and composed my own film in my imagination. Eventually I watched the film which was nothing like I had expected and almost nothing to do with the lyrics. Still the best album I’ve listened to in the last two decades. Forget all the crap and give Sturgill a listen.

What the heck happened? I bought the initial release of this album based on the rockin anime soundtrack. Now my iTunes tracks have been changed with some lame rerecorded album version??!

This album is soooo kickass! I want destroy and conquer sh $# when it’s on lol

Every album he does is my favorite… till the next one…

Since I first saw Sturgill Simpson on SNL I was hooked to hear what he had coming out next. Not every album is something I am into, but these days that isn’t a big surprise. Sometimes just a few tracks are good enough to get the an album by. This album, I get. I wasn’t so into the album prior to watching the animated feature that goes with it. It is like dropping in, at random, in a novel at random intervals trying to get what is happening with the story. Some tracks didn’t make sense. But after watching the feature all the way through, I get it. There is a story being told in the way DJ Shadow and James Lavelle got together with artists to tell a story with UNKLE in the beginning. Beastie Boys did it with ill communication and Queens of the Stone Age with ... Like Clockwork (who also had an animated story to go with the music. I love the ending quotes in the credits. I think those show Sturgill gets what is happening around him. Mercury in Retrograde is one of the tracks peppered in that sounds like Sturgill is telling a personal story he wants us to here. It isn’t necessarily a break from the rest of the album, just kind of a stand alone story he wants us to know about. Not every song is a big hit. Some of them sound overly processed with way too much audio distortion and tweaking of effects that ruin what otherwise would sound like a great track lying beneath a layer of near static. I hope people enjoy the album and the animated feature.

Psychedelic Sci Funk Prog Outlaw Country!!! Dig it... I don’t believe this genres ever been done before! Sturgill continues to break new ground w/ each release

This is my first introduction to sturgill Simpson, I have looked into his other albums now but this album is just electrifying. Sexiest sound I’ve heard this year
