Everyone on Sput is a country authority all of a sudden since this came out, lol. This sounds like just about any 90's country album. Pick one at random, I guess.

If you think I'm going to spend my one day off this week researching old albums to find the ones that sound just like this just to prove a point on an internet forum you are greatly mistaken with how I like to spend my time. I don't give a fuck about being right or wrong in this situation, but this sounds like generic Country to my ears. My parents listened to all 80's and 90's country when I was younger, and this sounds just like all of that. There isn't a single thing on this album that I haven't heard before, take it for what it is.

The individual sounds here are not necessarily new or groundbreaking, but using them together the way he is here is anything but generic. Relatively speaking, there isn't even a whole ton of country here - the sound is based on a combination of country, soul, rock, psychedelic, and folk.

I have no issue with you for disliking this, just don't call it something that it clearly isn't. And I'm speaking as someone who definitely enjoys some of what can be considered generic country. I just don't see how you can put this next to mainstream or generic country, no matter what period, and say this falls in the same boat from a compositional perspective. Quality, maybe, but that's an opinion.

Antracks, fuck off lol. You don't have to claim that you're an expert on a genre to say you enjoy an album from that genre.

So make a possibly highly valid complaint. But then get mad when someone asks to qualify it.

Okay.

Smh, im not at all claiming to be a country expert, im legitimately curious as to what country albums this sounds like. One or two examples could have really sufficed.

And even if it did sound like generic 90s country, wouldn't that at least mean that it doesn't sound generic compared to country from today? Which i still find hard a bit to believe considering most of this is alt country of some variety, which happens to be rather far removed from the 90s country that im familar with (bakersfield sound and Americana).

But of course, i can be convinced otherwise. I would love to listen to and know more about country as a whole, but a lot of it doesn't interest me, unfortunately.
