Maybe if you´re sitting by a campfire telling wild west stories, this 76 minute long album will work out fine but I think Rench should continue making EP´s instead because 20 songs in the same style and tempo will bore you to death. All the songs from the previous "The Dirt" EP are featured on this album so go for that one instead if you just have to get a dose of trip hop/country in your life.
I will listen to this album once and never again, I´d rather do a math test after a hard day´s work than waste an hour on "Life in mean season" again.......he sings "Life is hard, dying is easy", well life is truly hard when albums like this comes along and you have to put up with sad country stories. But on the other hand, you will also realize all the good music that´s around you.
