    I guess you either love or hate his stuff. Being from Indiana he does not represent what I like in music, so I won't buy it.

    Thank God politicians don't try to do the job of a musician, but unforturnately it seems that a lot of musicians think they can be politicians.

  1. The simpler style allows the tense commentary to come through loud and clear, as the band keeps up.

    This sounds like a brand-new, re-energized John Mellencamp.
  3. Mellencamp's rawest album to date.
