After Freedom's Road, his first album in five years, John Mellencamp made it clear why he had such loyal fans. He's made a career out of making himself vulnerable, with lyrics that undeniably come from the heart, and aided by his guitar, he generates a mood that's more Americana melancholy than pop. After a year of being somewhat of a recluse, Mellencamp is back with 14 tracks filled with anguish, pain, resentment, and frustration. In songs like "If I Die Sudden," "Don't Need This Body," and "Troubled Land," the singer-songwriter seems to be more like the Americana equivalent to Damien Rice rather than Bob Dylan, to whom he's been compared to before. It's a disc that, as my friend says, you can listen to while kicking a can and walking the streets. --Ernesto S??nchez (People en Espa??ol )

Despu??s de Freedom's Road, su primer ??lbum en cinco a??os, John Mellencamp dej?? en claro porqu?? tiene un s??quito de fans tan leal. Durante su carrera se ha desvivido por mostrar su vulnerabilidad y al mismo tiempo proporcionar confort al escucha con l??ricas que innegablemente salen de su coraz??n, y con inseparable guitarra cuyo sonido lo coloca m??s en el melanc??lico g??nero americana que en el pop. Un a??o despu??s de su regreso tras su auto reclusi??n, Mellencamp vuelve con 14 temas llenos de angustia, dolor, arrepentimiento y enojo. En temas como "If I Die Sudden," "Don't Need This Body," y "Troubled Land," el cantautor parece ser la respuesta en Americana a Damien Rice m??s que a Bob Dylan, con quien muchas veces se le llega a comparar. Eso no tiene nada malo, es un disco, como dir??a un amigo, para "patear latas mientras caminas escuch??ndolo" a gusto. --Ernesto S??nchez (People en Espa??ol )
