Carlisle still carries his introspective country roots, but I feel like here he managed to balance his melancholy with engaging song structures (something that I missed from his debut record). I still feel like some ameliorations can further improve his formula: there are a couple of tracks whose musical background is too barebones to fully leverage the lyric heaviness On the lyrics: even as a dirty non-lyric Euro mf, this contains some crushing lines ("I'm my own father now" fucking damn).
