re: New Isbell album has dropped

quote:

---

After 2 listens this morning, it strikes me as a typical Isbell album. 2 or 3 really good songs, and a bunch of just okay songs.

Overseas
It Gets Easier
Letting Her Go

All good songs. The rest didn't make much of an impression on me after 2 listens, but perhaps they'll grow on me.

Listened a few more times last night. I'm now torn on It Gets Easier. I like the music in it, but I've grown tired of the sobriety songs. I'm glad he's sober and finds inspiration to write songs about sobriety, but they just don't resonate much with me.

Overseas is far and away the best song. Letting Her Go speaks to me because I have a daughter. Running With OUr Eyes closed has a heavy Dire Straits feel to it, and may grow on me. THe rest are forgettable.
