"...Instead of the somewhat tiresome stance often taken by artists of this genre—where the songwriter places himself in an antagonistic position to Injustice—Russell examines his own successes and failures as a husband, father, and as a person with more honesty than you’d typically expect to find on an album that begins with an irreverent pop rock number about finding the perfect tattoo. The subject matter makes his music more accessible and personal, and is more likely to be noticed by those who don’t consider singer/songwriters “their thing.” So, if you’re sitting at home on a Saturday night, mourning the loss of the local live music scene, if you long for the days when local music was a little “smarter,” I suggest you find out when The Rudders will be playing next. You’ll feel much better. "
