    Contrived, disingenuous, condescendingly and overtly political. This is nothing more than a virtue signaling anti trump ad. In the desperate attempt to stay relevant, they abandon their entire fan base and roots, and pander to the very people who will never except them. The critics will love it, everyone else who’s is being honest, will ignore this trash.

    Not a catchy song in sight. Their hiatus did nothing to inspire or help their creativity

    They could afford to take more liberties with the musical cliches thereof: listening to Gaslighter is a bit like eating 12 courses of dessert. [Oct 2020, p.29]

    Dig deep, stick to your guns, “be a lot less guarded”, runs the message of this nourishing dose of laser-sharp country-pop boosterism.

    This is certainly the poppiest the band has ever sounded, and the album has a handful of trite or overly-cheesy moments, but these are easy to overlook when it all sounds this good, and when so many of Maines’ lyrics are this precise and honest.
