I do not for one moment understand the criticism of his vocals on this. They're gruff, sure... but he very easily hits the notes, feels in control of his voice, and can show both great power and great vulnerability in his inflections and timbre. Kinda goated, yes.

let me translate that into johnese



"really smart writing" = intentionally uneventful for no reason



"understated where it counts" = features no more than 2 guitar notes per 5 second interval so you don't get scared



"unpredictable" = no rhythm



"succinct" = boring songwriting

I disagree entirely. I think his voice marries with the instrumentation and writing in a genuinely magical way that figuratively teleports me to the plains or some bullshit like that. Super synergistic in that way - and in a way that I rarely think modern folk artists capture in entirety. With other artists and records, to my ear I am hearing the pastiche of the mood-setting captured by this (and Shallow Grave, honestly)

absolute facts from pitchforkarms. the synergy here is undeniable and everything about his sound is clearly very genuine and pure, whether you enjoy it or not
