Post Malone on success, loneliness, and making his audience know they’re loved
Overall I give this album a 9 out of 10. It wasn’t perfect but for this being Post Malone’s first country album and just his first album in just over a year, it is pretty impressive. I think the one thing it is lacking is the second disc not being long enough. I also think the second half kinda tells a story which if there were more songs it would make it better. I will say that I definitely prefer country Post over other Post one hundred percent. This version of his music is so much better and although he had more hits before he went to the country, I think he has a resume to help some of these new songs that maybe weren’t supposed to be popular, become popular.
