Agree with that, there's nothing worse. Which is why The Fall are the best band of all time natch!
Sturgill Simpson's album is a real divider I reckon. It's not very original, fairly grandiose, overloaded with horns and I can't bring myself to listen to it. However, I can understand why people will really love it.
Why is that?
FWIW, I think it does sound fairly original; it is grandiose and horn-heavy, but I dig it.
Just my opinion. I'm not the biggest fan of his voice , and it's a bit in your face on this record. I kind of overlooked it on the first two albums.
I can relate to this. Not all over the record but here and there his voice seems sort of "strained" or "pressed" (or whatever is the word) from down his throat.

My biggest gripe about Sturgill's vocals are he sometimes mumbles and makes it near impossible to understand him without a lyric sheet.

The Who or the Stones.
Come on, how many farewell tours can these guys do?

I get what you are saying, but at the risk of being pedantic, the Stones never advertised anything as a farewell tour. The Who, on the other hand........

I may be idealistic and naive but I don't think Jagger or Richards do it just for the money.
