Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Reunions (May 15, 2020) Album • Page 14

man overseas is the kinda song i’ve wanted from him for yeaaaaaarssssss that he seemed to have been resistant to do in his solo career

 

didn’t love river or running with our eyes closed but be afraid is such a tune

 

This album is really a strong argument that pre-release songs shouldn’t exist. I remember a lot of people disliked/were disappointed in ‘Be Afraid,’ (so I purposely didn’t listen) but it’s perfect in the context of the record. Honestly, this may be his album to fits together the best sonically; the sequence and mood is just flawless.

In other news, having given this a first listen, I think this is the best I’ve immediately liked an album of his. I got on the Isbell train at ‘Something More Than Free,’ and he’s always been a guys whose songs truly click three or four times in. But this album clicked immediately. All I wanted to do is hit ‘play’ again.

 

St. Peter’s Autograph is a gorgeous song

 

I just need to say in this space that your review of this is the album review version of a Jason Isbell album. It’s that good. It’s a freaking work of art that helps me appreciate the album that much more. Thank you!

 

I didn’t like the first 2 tracks released from this at all so I sort of stopped paying attention and never listened to the others, but after listening to the full thing for a few days now, I really dig all of them. Been a casual fan of his before..this is the first record that’s really pulled me in. Guess I need to revisit everything else..ha.

 

This is my first Jason Isbell album. Not really my type of music, but I am liking it!

 

The lick at 3:25 in Overseas is all I want to listen to

 

Dove real deep on this one:

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit – Reunions

 

This might be the greatest compliment I've ever received, thank you!

 

Just read it a few minutes ago, really nice work

 

Gotta agree about your review, @Craig Manning. Good shit.

 

really fantastic work here, great job!

 

Thanks all!

 

Very curious to see how some of the new songs get interpreted in a more intimate setting tonight. I just hope we get an acoustic "Overseas" like the version he played with Sadler on that unplugged tour

 

Is there a video of this?

 

best one I can find now

 

I have a horrible confession to make: the line in "Overseas" about the waiter making the young girl cry bugs me. I like the sentiment (that she would stand up and say something about somebody doing something wrong) but the situation just seems backwards. Maybe I'm just defensive as a long-time food service worker, but I'd say the more believable/more sympathetic/better fit for Jason's blue collar stance/past work would be a customer making a server cry.

 

Finally bumping Overseas in the car. Instant classic.

 

christ this album is fucking incredible

 

I was cruising to work this morning at 2 am and when that guitar lick in Overseas I swear I started time traveling. Mother of god that’s a fun riff.

 

He's got that acoustic livestream starting here in half an hour, free but musicares foundation donation suggested

An Acoustic Evening with Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires

 

Wonder if they're gonna play the record through

 

I love this so much. Never seen him live

 

Just put together new porch furniture so my fiancé and i are watching outside. A perfect Friday night
