    If you're a fan of Americana or country music, get this album. If not, then don't get too excited.

    I didn't exactly hate it, i just didn't find the lyrics as great as some critics are claiming it to be; and the music, while not bad, didn't find it enjoyable either. Just okay.

    An okay album.

    This album is the best part of my 2014, I can't play it enough.
    I purchased it twice from iTunes and once from play store just as my way of saying thanks,
    If I had to make a complaint it's that the album should have been a double lp with 14 more songs
    Thanks 97's you guys rock when your not checking the clock

    The songs are deceptive, displaying a rare sense of craft and erudition. [Oct 2014, p.94]

    Sure, the twitchy alienation of their earliest records is long gone, but the Old 97's are still fighting the good fight against respectability.

    What makes Most Messed Up stand out is that Miller's self-aware enough to play with those cliches. [Aug 2014, p.112]
