in the (paraphrased) words of one of the greatest philosophers of our time, videogamedunkey: if you can listen to this album and not feel some kind of emotion come over you, wipe yourself off, because you are dead

man, it's so cool that I can have a connection with some people a whole ocean away, despite not speaking any Norwegian. music is cool.

also this album rips

grand budapest walked so genesis owusu could run

just guys being dudes, what's better than this?

i'm still waiting on the beat from Dolemite to drop

how does he make something this good with just a guitar and his voice? a testament to his songwriting talent, what a beautiful album.

my favorite country album
10/10

wrap it up everyone, we've got the album of the year already. try again next year

edit: ok maybe I was wrong. not that this has gone own for me, but there's just been so much good music this year

his voice sounds like a hug

10/10

this album brings out the himbo appalachian in me

can't exactly understand/explain why, but this is sick

why is this so good

my glaive get hyper and it'll pop you

needs to be about 20 minutes shorter, but some really cool ideas here

Im over here grooving rn i got earbuds in my ears rn absolutely vibing, im groovy as f*** man im a groover man

absolutely remarkable album, can be played at any time in any mood and immediately brightens my day
10/10

well, since no one else has:

she a baddie, she showin her panty

brotherman i am quite simply vibing

At first, I found the softer vocals a bit off-putting (his belting was phenomenal from the start), coming across as shaky and underwhelming. But as the record went on, I saw how Zach's vocals worked to convey his geniune emotion as he dealt with universal human struggles. This one turned into one of my favorites of the 2023, despite not getting into until the past couple weeks.

EDIT (3/21/24): oh wow this is hitting different for me now 84->92
