      Can you explain everyone’s obsession with “7 Summers?”
      Of all the “sad songs” on this double album, it’s far and away one of the worst in almost every aspect, in my opinion.

    I actually really liked silverado for sale because I feel like it ties in the theme from sand in my boots. I kind of shows that he has moved on a couple of years down the road and found this girl and they want to marry each other so he sells his Silverado, (the "sunburned silverado") so he can buy her a ring.

I for one love 30 songs just because I consume music at such a fast rate. I feel like you could’ve made a fantastic 15-16 song record here but I like how Morgan went for it here. It’s his “I’m here to stay” moment. Great review

The few released tracks became daily listening, and I found I couldn’t wait for the rest of the album to drop! Now, I’m OBSESSED with the whole album, and it’s a hour and a half I spend with Morgan Wallen (at least once!) EVERY DAY!

    There’s a lot of good songs and a lot of bad songs. When he does his heartfelt stuff (7 summers, somebodies problem, sand in my boots) is where he really shines but the repetitive songs about boots, beer, truck, rinse and repeat make it seem hollow. Obviously the light hearted fun songs are for that purpose but you can tell that he could bring back that main stream storyteller country of the 90’s and early 00’s

    If Chris Stapleton would’ve had more of a moment on “Only Thing That’s Gone” I think it would’ve been a better song. But, I’ve noticed that whenever Chris does collaborate with artists he tries not to “overstep” I guess you could say. It’s like he wanted Morgan to have his moment and not crush him vocally. I think it’s a great song it’s just needs a little more from Chris. Love this album and the review!

    I enjoy the double album because usually I only like about half the songs anyway, on this album I enjoy about 17-18 and I can shuffle them and listen to them for a long time without a certain 3-4 getting old to me. Plus I feel like a lot of songs will hold up for quite a while

    If we got a 12 song album in the style of Sand in my Boots and 7 Summers, it would be incredible. I felt like all the party songs kind of blurred together and felt like retreads of some of the songs on his first album. Except for Country Ass Shit. That one stands out.

    The thing about comments like “he’s a sad boy” is that most of these dudes don’t write even 20% of their material. When Isbell writes songs about despair you know that’s coming from his heart. When Morgan sings a song about missing a girl it’s because him and 2 other dudes wrote a country hit about missing summer and drinking six packs by the river. Quite literally that happened.

      @@teeman8999 I like some of his music, for sure. New country isn’t my favourite by a long shot, but I listen to some, maybe even lots of it at times. But it’s hard to get into it when I don’t have much respect for their process or their credibility. I listen to it because it’s fun and has catchy melodies, not because I think they’re great lyricists who are pushing boundaries. I wouldn’t ever call him a “bad boy” haha. Anyways. Not a big deal. It wasn’t even directed at Grady, I love his videos no matter what, very well made.

    865 is written by John Byron, who actually had an album come out a few years ago. It didn’t do well but there are some good songs on it. Its called “across that line”. He writes songs now, and you’ll probably see more of him in the future.

    To be honest I’m struggling to like newer mainstream country, Morgan had an absolute hit with the collab with Chris, but the more pop sounding songs ain’t doing it for me, a lot are similar sounding too. Not saying Morgan is bad at all but I feel like country is in a limbo. It doesn’t know what it wants to be. I’m not a super traditionalist but I can’t really connect with the genre as much now.
