That feeling when you discover a great ALBUM. Today everybody is pushing albums based on one or two songs. There was a time when You could play a whole album. THIS IS THAT.

[rleeroberts]

To all those bitching about production quality...it's SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE THAT.
CRUNCHY...RAW...BEING TO MADE TO SOUND LIKE ITS BEING BEAMED VIA SATELLITE FROM 1945.
THIS IS THE BEST STONER MUSIC IVE HEARD SINCE THE 70'S.
THIS IS THAT "ONE" ALBUM.

[apexpredator]

I don't even care that sturgill sings country, this entire album is ROCK N ROLL! Plain & simple.

[travisnoffsinger]

Sturgill is the fastest horse in town. Nashville? You got passed. Too slow. Not anyone or anywhere can catch this guy. Too fast, too talented, too much his own man. Rock on Sturgill! The new album sounds awesome.

[flnk]

This guy is evolving at a speed that defies physics...and he was already great to begin with.

[tinabean]

You know it's a good album when you get to the last song and you don't want it to end.

[JohnnySundahl]

I have had a lifetime of the darkest metal, punk, and industrial music. But I swear to whatever you got that is the first album of my life that has actually made me want to gleefully ignite the world ablaze, then lounge with a cold beer in its mountains of ash on a folding lawn chair, sitting next to an AM radio playing only Donna Summer, surrounded by charred cadavers and bright pink lawn flamingos.


Fucking brilliant. Affecting. The truest poetry of the zeitgeist.

[Tri_Mega_Lok]

Love that he brings back that samurai theme at the end, tying the whole album together.

[marktaylor]

Fair to say, this is the best new hard rock album that I have heard in years.

[keithgarnett]

I've been wasting all my best days
I've invested all my worst ways
I've been thinking about all the things
I should have never left behind
Oughta be watching the children playing
In the yard I never see I should be mowing today
Instead, I'm searching for ways to say
All the words I can't find

Everybody's trying to be the next someone
But look at me, I'm trying to be the first something

Back when them dollars made sense
Had to keep the squirrels off the fence
And shoes are coming loose on the fastest horse in town
But that old horse just keeps on running
And if he falls, they'll put him down
Them men keeping him out on the track
Running him ragged just to pile up the stacks
Make it so he's all spent by the time he gets back

Everybody's trying to be the next someone
Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something
Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something

Everybody's trying to be the next someone
Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something
Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something

Well, you know what I want?
We need, we need a gift card for
Are y'all listening to me? This is what I want
I want a gift card from God
He can keep it all
I want a gift card from God

The distorted guitar on this is awesome, gives me chills man

[TheParkingLotPhilosopher]

This album was mindblowing. Its definitely not country. It's gone beyond that.

[NotableSavage]

In early 2020 despite the setbacks I started making enough money to finally spend without risk. That spring, I bought enough AV crap to build a screening room. Big tv, speakers, the works. I sat down and set it all up. Took a few hours. Once it was ready to go I opened Netflix. I discovered and watched Sound and Fury for the first time. I sat there through the whole thing just in awe. Huge screen and loud speakers filling a room that’s not remotely large enough for what I bought. When the final 30 secs of this song played, I cried. His message combined with the work I put in to what I knew was a vanity expenditure was overwhelming. I haven’t made any purchase nearly that vain, since. In fact, I picked a local food bank and just started dumping money into it. The callback to remember to breathe set me off. I was doing too much for myself. I still have my screening room, but I don’t cry when I sit in there.

[rokscastel]

Bad thing about this is it's highly infectious, you want to show ppl how good it is

[brianknapp]

Best chorus I EVER heard:
🎵"Everybody's trying to be the next someone
Look at me, I'm trying to be the first something."🎵

[GenesGems]

I'm not a country fan... I like heavy metal and hard rock....But like Stapeton, this is beyond traditional country.... This is a mesmerizing Hendrix rollback....Dare I say even some Black Sabbath shadows exist here... I'm getting a contact high from this And I'm in for the ride. Kudos

[zacharyharr]

Man, every song on this album is my favorite song on the album.

[stantondavid]

Sound and fury sounds unlike anything I’ve heard in quite some time and I’m a Tool fan, excellent album along with with anime concept... genius

[xrpadoption]

Sturgil is a monster rock legend. Hope he goes full stage. Bethoven loves him.

[Squidwardisgodward]

Man. Just discovered this album recently. F*cking incredible. Riffs for days.
