  2. Negative: 0 out of 5
  1. Their music is solid, Southern-style meat-and-potatoes rock at its best; it's a formula they've mastered over the years, and Lean Forward shows it's still delivering soul-satisfying results more than a decade and a half on.
  2. Ultimately, Lean Forward is just another Bottle Rockets bar-rock album-but the bartender slings some stiff drinks and keeps a pretty decent jukebox in the corner.
  3. 60
    Lean Forward occasionally falters toward generic Southern rock, but contains its share of gems. [Nov 2009, p.81]
