Where can you find the last track "Amen" at? I've looked online at Target and Best Buy both and they only have up to 16 on the deluxe. I bought my copy at Walmart and it only goes to 16 as well.

Interesting to note that outside of Northern America the standard and the deluxe versions cost exactly... the same! :o

Unfortunately, this marks a continue of the trend where I pick and choose less and less of the songs off his albums. I think this "change of sound" is a direct response to the failure of the last era (which I blame on another "change of sound" by releasing "Home Sweet Home") and it's all just kind of sad. I remember always thinking that Moore had found his niche with the mid tempo rockers like "Til My Last Day" and could structure albums around those and be successful. I had high hopes when I heard YLLINAD, but I am fairly disappointed with this album. There were a couple songs I didn't even finish the preview of cause I couldn't handle the production drowning out his voice.

Ugh. He's so good but it's a shame to hear this pop stuff. I don't get why he had to change his sound. Jon Pardi didn't, and he's having tons of success with it. Outlaws Like Me was one of the best albums I've ever heard.
Justin needs to realize it's not about how your singles do on the charts. It's called sticking to your guns and making music from the heart. Not selling out.
Just ask Kip Moore. Hasn't had a #1 in years, but he absolutely packs them in at his concerts, has his fans singing every word to album tracks, whether it's in Tennessee or London, and has great album sales. He's got a fanbase that has stayed with him because he never strayed away from his kind of music. Same goes for Eric Church. Some of his singles don't even hit top 10, and he's still one of the most popular country artists around.
Randy Houser tried doing this. Got a #1 on a forgettable bland radio friendly song, only sold 21 K first week on his album, next two singles flopped. Had he stuck with his "How Country Feels" sound, I guarantee you he'd be a lot bigger than he currently is. His fans don't know who he truly is anymore, and I fear that with this album, Moore fans will feel the same with him.
With all that said, I do enjoy some of these songs. I LOVE the title track, and would love to see that hit radio. Perfect example of a good straight up country song that could still hit big on radio today. Somebody Else Will is extremely catchy, has a strong melody/vocals, and Hell on a Highway is stellar. More Middle Fingers is another one I enjoy. It's classic Justin Moore and I love the lyrics.

Pretty disappointing album. I absolutely love the title track, on first listen I thought it was a no-brainer single, but having heard the rest of the album I'm guessing it won't even be considered. Robbin' Trains is really good as well, but once the pop tracks take over I'm pretty much done with album. Justin just sounds so out of place on those overproduced pop cuts. The only one I really like is Somebody Else Will, and even that would be better with better production. Hell On a Highway might be a great song with a different vocalist, but Justin just doesn't sound natural singing it (the verses are fine, the rhythmic chorus is the problem). And the album just gets worse from there, I'd only give it about 2 stars personally.

WTF Justin one more i thought i could count on for good music has gone to the dark side lol oh well. i only like a few tracks here and thats sad with there being 16
here are the ones i like
"Kinda Don't Care" - love this song "Middle Class Money" - i've lived this song. it shoulda been on the regular album "Robbin' Trains" "Hell On A Highway" "You Look Like I Need A Drink" "More Middle Fingers" - i hate Brantley but i can relate to the lyrics it fits me so i can tolerate him on this one
thats it the rest of them are horrible

What a freakin' disappointment. The only song I really like is the title track. Everything else sounds the same. Modern garbage.
It's funny if you go read the reviews on iTunes. Pretty much every review says something like "can always count on Justin to keep it real, keepin' it country, doesn't sell out, etc." These reviews were all written before the album release.
If they only knew...

I didn't really think the album sounded that much different to be honest. I didn't listen to it on the best speakers, but it sounded fine to me. I'm pretty shocked by the poor reviews its getting on here honestly.
"Robbin' Trains" is easily the best song on the album, and I really hope its next.

Borchetta strikes again!
"Listen, Justin, what you're doing isn't working. Jeremy Stover is great buttttt- we're going to bring in a pop guy to hip your sound up a bit. Just follow me to the money."
It is interesting to note, Moore/Stover has only ONE song on this album. Sales for Justin have decreased considerably since his first album when Stover/Moore had most of the writes. Justin Moore

Sometimes when you try to please everyone you piss off the people who are really fans. Unlike his earlier efforts, the co-writer list on this album is so diverse that it's hard to see a clear direction in the sound.
Hope he can stay relevant because he's a talent we need. Good guy, identifiable voice and a hell of an entertainer.

^ completely agree with this.
Really want to see Somebody Else Will and Kinda Don't Care get released as singles, but also feel like Hell on a Highway could turn into one of his biggest hits if released. That song is a total gem.

I've only listened one time through and need to do a whole lot more listening but all in all I enjoyed this album a lot. I can't get over how much I absolutely love Kinda Don't Care. I have listened to that one over and over and can't stop lol. This really needs to be a single!! I agree that Hell on a Highway is also a standout track.

Justin said on The Highway this weekend that Scott Borchetta co-produced this album with Julian Raymond and Jeremy Stover.

That's a really solid number for someone with a lead single that seemed to have relatively zero buzz and was away from radio for a while.

Nice to see that number! Nah, Justin's always sold well. I figured he'd do better, actually. In fact, HITS was projecting closer to 45,000. Justin's last album, from September 2013, sold nearly 100,000 copies in its 1st week. Going from 100,000 sold in an opening week to only 37,000 sold is a pretty huge drop-off. Sales continue to decrease, of course, but that's one of the biggest album-to-album drop-offs that I can recall recently. I don't think Justin's doing poorly or anything like that, but I do think he's lost a sizable portion of his core fan-base.

I like the album. I have listened to it like 3 times in full, and the only song that stood out to me, was YLLINAD. I suppose that's because I already knew the song. The rest, well, I have a similar reaction to Off The Beaten Path, where I liked the album, but never found any stand outs. Will have to listen to the songs you guys mentioned as the best, maybe I am dismissing some songs way too quickly.
