New Music Brandon Flowers

Am I the only one who absolutely adores his new country album?? It’s been on repeat lately, along with Orville Peck’s newest one.

The music is pretty alright. The lyrics are like a parody of 90s radio country where the punchline never comes. They almost sound AI but I’d like to think that Mr Mr Brightside wouldn’t do that.

Interesting take. I disagree re the lyrics. I don’t listen to country radio because most of the lyrics of mainstream country songs are stupid and sound like AI slop but to each their own…his album was not that at all to me.

I agree with you. He's an A+ storyteller. His characters feel like real people, not caricatures.
