    With the exception of the occasional detour into heartbreak ("I Don't Do Lonely Well") or empathy ("Black Tears"), it can feel like he's doing the same stylized smalltown-conjuring over and over, to the point of hollowness.

    The traditional tones and textures of country music are largely lost in the array of guitar solos that sound like Bon Jovi audition tapes.

    Even at his most powerful, singing hard in his nasal voice--it's got impact but not much traction.

    Certainly, Night Train is huge, but its size feels derived by divine proclamation: it is big simply because it was intended to be big but at its core it feels weary, a little hollow, and not at all fun.

    This album is amazing, its genius how he mixes the rock guitars into his country music.
