    This is not a good album. The politics is just too much and the songs are poor. I usually buy DBT albums for the Cooley songs and there are only 2 here. What has happened to this once great band? Very disappointing.

    This album is what happens when a band gets woke and forgets about fun. A hollow, boring album both musically and lyrically. Did the DNC write these songs for them? How unoriginal.
    I will always have a place for them in my heart, but this album is trash.

    This is a good album, but it’s one of those albums that either has too much or too little of something.

    The Unraveling takes meticulous care with each mix.

    Drive-By Truckers have never been angrier, but, just as crucially, they've never been more musically eloquent. [Mar 2020, p.86]
