Oh dear; I have a sinking feeling this may be Bro Country. Quite poppy to start with anyway, and three lads singing country? Hmm. Seems like they hardly wrote any of this either. Another warning sign, perhaps? “I Know You Won't” is (the first of many I feel) a nice ballad, but again it's not what you'd call country, not with all that orchestration and a very poppy/boyband feel to it. Yeah, **** it: this is bro country. Bro. Dude. Whatever. Lord help me. After the sublime excellence of the last album I'm dragged forcibly back to reality into the world of mediocrity and the lowest common denominator. Surely, with so many guns in the Bible Belt, someone could shoot these guys? You'd be performing a public service. And now I'll perform one of my own.
