This album is absolutely INCREDIBLE. We'd already heard about half of it by now and I had high expectations based on that, but I am totally blown away. This album is easily one of the best country records I've heard in the past few years. Still too early for me to fully form thoughts on what songs do the most for me, but there isn't a single song here that would get less than like an A- from me. 😍
Also thrilled to see they did the right thing and tacked "Jersey Giant" onto the record because it would've been a shame if it had remained a standalone. She completely ATE that song, and it fits in perfectly fine on the record anyway.

Loving the album; her previous work was pretty much Country adjacent so this is a natural progression and fit for her. Not a dud song in the bunch either. Hoping Worth a Shot doesn't take forever to peak because I'd like her to get another single or two squeezed out of it.

This album is EVERYTHING. The stretch from “Tulsa” to “Out Yonder” is such a country fucking jam!

Such a great album. I think it's my favourite of her three, though I really do enjoy her other two (especially Love Stuff). I hope that "Worth A Shot" starts moving a bit faster so that she can release a third single and get a solo country hit from the album. There are a lot of great options on here (even if some of my favourites might push the envelope a little too much for country radio, lyric wise).

This album is STELLAR, front to back. Not a dud to be found on the entire record. Elle King certainly started 2023 off STRONG for country releases.

Wish it could've at least made the top 10 on the country album chart (since it came *so* close), but it's kinda crazy how this only debuted slightly below Tyler Hubbard, who is a much bigger name. So I guess it's a win!
