    This album is really interesting. Luke has managed to make some different sound work really well. Yes, it is not traditional country, but he is trying new things and has accomplished it very well. Songs like "Razor Blade" and "Kill The Lights" make use of this new sound very well creating awesome tunes. Luke also has his own classic country sound on here with "Fast" "Love It Gone" "To TheThis album is really interesting. Luke has managed to make some different sound work really well.

Luke also has his own classic country sound on here with "Fast" "Love It Gone" "To The Moon And Back" "Huntin', Fishin' And Lovin' Every Day" and "Scarecrows". What I really love about Luke is that I can really relate to his music. Hunting and fishing are two things I do very often. Songs like "Move" and "Way Way Back" are classic Bryan songs with a bit of a twist making them definite hits. This whole album, I feel, is much better than Crash My Party.… Expand

    This is one of those albums that I immediately loved on first listen. The songs are amazing, and Luke sounds better than ever. This album is pretty diverse when it comes to sound. There is more traditional country, like 'Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day'. Also, he shows his party side with the first single, 'Kick the Dust Up'. There is also slower songs, like 'Strip It Down'. LukeThis is one of those albums that I immediately loved on first listen. The songs are amazing, and Luke sounds better than ever.

This is probably the best album I've heard this year.… Expand

    I love this so much album. I fell this album was written amazingly. I say this was the best album buy a male country singer of 2015. It's stand out tracks are Move and Strip it Down.)

    So bro-country this is, in that the women are shadows and might be figments of the man’s imagination.

    He’s chosen good material and done right by it. But Kill the Lights sees him both at an apex and a crossroad.

    Kill the Lights isn’t consistently pleasing, but it does represent a progression and evolution from Luke’s previous material.
