    I was very disappointed in this album. It is pretty boring compared to his other albums. This one will put you to sleep if you don't turn it off before that. I'm thinking that he is washed up. Hope I'm wrong though. No excitement on this one. There's not one song that you can tell your friends to check out.

    If the music's a bit uniform, it'd sound great scoring a scene in Sons of Anarchy. [Nov 2014, p.91]

    He's rarely sounded better. [Nov 2014, p.98]

    Without Burnett directly quarterbacking the affair, the sepia overlay that tinted Life Death Love and Freedom and No Better Than This is too transparent this time around.
