This review is dead on, well written and absolutely freaking hilarious! Here are a few tidbits:

quote:

Yes Nashville, pat yourself on the back, let all of the Auto-Tuned stars sing out in unison as Stratocasters bray out a cacophony of stadium rock riffs in unified celebration–you have officially discovered the shittiest country music song to ever touch the human ear drum.

quote:

That’s where “1994's” terribleness becomes exceptional....

quote:

I’m not even confident in saying that songwriters Thomas Rhett, Luke Laird, and Barry Dean aren’t actually fricking with Jason Aldean....



The rest of this guy's blog has some great stuff as well. I'm glad I stumbled across it.

Jason Aldean and his crack team of producers and songwriters were exhaustive in their efforts to compile only the absolute worst elements from every corner and crevice of popular music and then assemble them together to compose this ode to the decay of Western Civilization. At their dispose are hip-pop, wiener rock, laundry list country, Auto-Tune, and the general douchebaggery awfulness caused by a complete lack of self-awareness that Jason Aldean is a exemplary specimen of. These ingredients are then extruded into a feces-like industrial slurry that is injected into the hollow, mulleted, cop-mustached corpse of 90's country semi-star Joe Diffie’s lifeless career.

Holy balls

I had to check out this piece of history. I swear "country" musicians are trying to make the worst song ever as some sort of badge of honor. There is no other way to explain popular country music.

I truly believe that people are becoming more and more musically retarded. I hate sounding like a music snob but I just can't see any other reason for people finding that kind of shite appealing. Sadly, know plenty of people who will eat up that song.

As do I, and I made the mistake of opening my mouth recently and calling out their current hero, Jason Aldean, and now that group of people think I'm an a-hole. They were baffled how someone could think that way! Oh well

why would you say such a thing? have you really been beat down this much by the mouth-breathing masses that call anybody who actually has taste "snobbish"? NO, you haven't! so stand up for actually knowing what good music is and what is rubbish.

I have a friend that lives in Nashville and worships the likes of people like this asshat. She's a "singer/songwriter" and somehow thinks that qualifies her as having amazing taste in music. Discussions are fun with her.

I mean the refrain to the song is "Joe Diffie Joe Joe Joe Diffie (X2)"

I hope 10 years from now there is a huge Nashville scandal uncovered where songwriters are betting with each other to make prominent singers sing ridiculous stuff.

I think this just topped "He Can't Even Bait a Hook" to become the new champ.

Not as bad as "Truck Yeah," but pretty damn close

I searched to hear this POS and the top 2 comments on the youtube video:

"It's? like AIDs in my ear..."

"i think? this song gave me cancer"

I think it's safe to say this song was probably written in 3 or 4 minutes and was never intended to be cut. It's pretty bad.

Joe Diffie...(my favorite era of country music) the late 80s and 90s

Out of curiosity, what is her first initial? I think I may know her....

John Deere Green is one of the all time best songs to sing when belligerently drunk.

That said, of course Aldeans song is terrible. It's what sells for whatever reason. The only worthwhile song, as far as I'm aware, being played on country music radio right now is Like Jesus Does. And it's just OK.
