Band: Bonnie "Prince" Billy
Comments: Not going to lie, I'm not a fan of alt-country, generally speaking. "Beware Your Only Friend" is boring, despite its catchy strums and backing vocals. The farm style anthem "You Can't Hurt Me Now" is a slight improvement. The extremely slow "My Life's Work" is reminiscent of prime-time Johnny Cash. "Death Final" is better. "You Don't Love Me" is kind of fun. Okay, I'll admit it I stopped here. Bonnie just isn't my type. It would have been painful and silly for me to continue. In fact, someone reading this who is a big BPB fan is probably gearing up to type a long winded comment about how I got this review completely wrong.
Final Grade: 7.0
