This isn't at the heights of Just As I Am, which was a masterpiece, but it's still pretty damn good.

I could do without a few songs off here, but there's a good amount of songs that I really enjoy. Three Feet of Water and We're Gonna Ride Again are must listens.

Love:

Outlaw In Me (This HAS to be the next single. Smash in waiting)
We're Gonna Ride Again
Three Feet of Water
Tried To Tell Ya
The Devil Don't Sleep

Like:

You Could Be That Girl
The Ones That Like Me
Smokin Gun
It's About To Get Dirty
Rockin Chairs
In My Head
Bullet in a Bonfire
Baby Be Crazy

Meh:

Bro Code
Way Back

Bad:

The Weekend (what an awful choice for the first single)

*** Good amount of radio friendly songs on here. I'm sure It's About To Get Dirty will get a release, should've been the lead single. You Could Be That Girl, Smokin Gun, Ones That Like Me, Rockin Chairs all sound like hits.

i wont touch anything Brantley makes can't stand him but i did buy his song "Three Feet of Water" only to support one of the writers Barry Poole or as he was famously known as Cledus T. Judd. its a great song and Brantley don't do a bad job on it

[Kentucky25]

On the first few listens, not as many songs standout to me as one the last two albums. Nothing is awful ("Bro Code" is a bit clunky, but not horrible), all the songs just seem to mesh together in my brain...which is why I don't have much of a breakdown on the songs.

It's a good number but also feel like it was a big drop off from his previous album

Yeah, this one debuted with only a 1/4th of the opening week sales of Just As I Am. "Bottoms Up" was huge though, while "The Weekend" hasn't been, and sales have been dropping across the board over the past couple years though so it's not too surprising.
