GregSFeb 6, 2007By far his worst. I was a HUGE Mellencamp fan in the '80s. I think The Lonesome Jubilee was his crowning achievement. This is just boring. In his way, he was important once. Not Springsteen, but Bruce Jr. Now he's a caricature of what he was. Don't buy this record!

Song-wise, this is a stronger album from Mellencamp than we had any right to expect, and an excellent from-the-cradle album when we need it most.

This is his State of the Union address, with guitars that chime like the Byrds heralding sentiments that recall the socially-conscious 1960s, yet sound all the more pertinent today.

BillboardThe garage band feel of the album—which was, in fact, recorded in a garage—breathes new life into Mellencamp's common-man themes. [27 Jan 2007]
