I hate to say it but Pitchfork gave it a pretty solid review. A 5.8 though? Not a chance. It is a very solid album & while it isn't groundbreaking or beyond words amazing it is definitely a grower with A LOT of beautiful moments. Lee #2 should have let us all know what we were going to get. This is just good old rock n roll made by a great musician & songwriter. Perfect summer time record. Even though the lyrics are not typical Lee abstractions I think they fit in with the record even though I will admit sometimes they are a bit silly. I also have to say that if this weren't made by Lee I don't think I would have given it much of a chance but I am glad I did. This is going to be the perfect summer soundtrack for me. Thank you Lee, look forward to seeing you in Atlanta.
