COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Very Earnest Effort submitted by Meginator on June 21, 2020, 3:05pm This album feels more deliberately crafted than the Avett Brothers’ previous work, despite being somewhat freer with meter and rhyme. The lyrics are unapologetically political and sometimes seem more contrived than natural, particularly when the band strives to make a particular point; despite this, the album has its fair share of standout lines that brilliantly, beautifully articulate deep emotional truths. Musically, the album utilizes the band’s usual stripped-down pop-folk vibe, with strong acoustic guitars and simple arrangements that are equally adept at creating melancholy backgrounds and catchy upbeat choruses. This album is incredibly earnest, so much so that it often gets in its own way, but its moments of uncontrived honesty are worth sticking it out for.
