Jul 22, 2018Super generic melody alongside with some immature and trivial lyrics, that's all this album has to offer.
-
Jun 5, 2018A little worse than average, thanks to some alarming song writing quality dips and my lack of stamina for these sort of borderline cloying 'shiny pop country' vocals. I can see the appeal to some degree...but I'm also shocked that such a 'by the numbers' release has garnered quite this much acclaim.

Dec 13, 2018Golden Hour definitely doesn't fall short of infectious instrumentation and melodies, and though the opening track is the epitome of this infectious grandeur, it sets a superfluous tone. The album is so satisfying that contrast seems necessary.
Whilst much of the lyrical content and stylistic direction remains questionable, it seems the record as a whole is yearning to be bordered. -

Oct 8, 2021Golden Hour imagines a world much sweeter than the one we’re living in; and for 45 minutes, it can just about take you there. Kacey Musgraves’ golden hour is far from over.

May 23, 2018Golden Hour is a bedazzled, wide-eyed rush.

May 9, 2018Whilst tracks like "Butterflies" and "High Horse" offer the best of what Musgraves can do in terms of balancing her obvious charm against a certain steely underbelly that has served her so well so far in her career, all too often, Golden Hour delivers a lackluster vibe and a feeling that Musgraves has become too infatuated with the pop side of her artistry and is beginning to forget about the things that made her so interesting and worth investing in in the first place.
