He had a good strong early showing from his core fanbase, but I have no doubts that Little Big Town will sell more. |

Great, great album. I was worried about how he'd follow up The Underdog, which is my favorite album in the last five years at least.
There's a nice flow to the album. His last two CDs have been incredible.

And I imagine physical sales will be strong too thanks to the "old fashioners." I have no clue what the final numbers will be but I have to imagine radio's inferiority complex will be irritated by this--a veteran airplay group who they play the heck out of (as they should) possibly being outsold by someone who PDs probably either still don't know about or refuse to acknowledge exists. |

It's certainly impressive. With the huge hit "Better Man," I thought The Breaker would have higher first week sales than Pain Killer (42,000), but that doesn't seem to be the case. Aaron Watson's last album The Underdog sold 26,340 copies in its first week, a huge number for him. I still think Little Big Town wins this battle, but it should be close. I'll say Little Big Town sell 40,000 and Aaron Watson sells 35,000. |

Don't forget that streaming also counts toward the album charts now too, so even if somehow (I don't see it happening personally) he outsold LBT's album, he's not going to be getting the edge with streaming and that'll hold him back. |

Decided to listen to this out of curiosity because I really liked "Outta Style" (and loved "That Look" from a few years ago), but I'm not feeling it. The album as a whole all just kind of runs together and feels pretty bland for the most part. His voice just sounds so lifeless on most of the songs, too. He has flashes of great personality and fun in his delivery like on "Outta Style" and "That Look," but vocally he sounds like he's on auto-pilot on most of the record, kinda like an indie cowboy version of Blake Shelton.

Some nice tracks on this set; and also for me "Clear Isabel" is the best song.
Was expecting more as there are way too many songs crammed into one CD and a good portion is regular Texas fare and fillers at best.
This should definitely have been cut down to 10 or 12 tracks. Not sure whether this will grow on me to the same extent as his last album.
