Oh, and this happened…
Criminally underrated record. The documentary was great and the songs get panned over way too much. No reason for this to be considered their worst record by many people. All of them kind of stand apart and on their own, so you really can't take it like you're listening to an album, but listening to a collection of songs. You're listening to a road trip through America.
This was a cracking album with some great guest appearances and the accompanying documentary was really interesting.
