Sam Hunt - Southside - Album Review

For this new album review, Sam Hunt delivers his long-awaited sophomore slump, and one of the most badly conceived, poorly assembled, and genuinely repellent albums in recent memory.
Best Songs: '2016'
Worst Songs: 'Hard To Forget', 'Body Like A Back Road', 'That Ain't Beautiful', 'Sinning With You', 'Drinkin' Too Much'

I'm gonna quote what Mark said immediately after he gave The Click a 1/10:

[@TheDukeofCheese12]

Mark reviewing AJR in 2017: "Unless Sam Hunt breaks the space-time continuum and somehow releases an even worse album..."

[@maxrevs24]

Look at the album's genres in the description.

[@ronstoppable5659]

When I saw that this actually released, I said to myself “I would be so disappointed if Mark Just relegated this to On The Pulse” luckily my prayers were answered

[@jayromeo940]

Just started the review and Mark begins by praising Sam Hunt.

YESSSS the Kacey shoutout. Man, this thing was absolutely tragically bad, and I only made it halfway through...

“There are trap artists who churn out mixtapes and albums with development time of WEEKS that sound better than this.” Honestly, I think that’s the biggest indictment of this album

[@GradySmith]

We have a lot of the same thoughts on the generally joyless sound of this album, but there's a part of me that finds that kinda cool (or at least distinct) I guess. Been editing this afternoon and kinda scared to post my review after seeing this, but yeah, it's def a weird album. Keep going back and forth on whether it totally sucks or is kinda brilliant.

[@erikdaniels0n]

Maybe Sam Hunt and AJR can team up for a collab album and earn the first 0/10 in Spectrum Pulse history

[@thema1998]

You know that this album is bad when Mark actually managed to praise

[@MrODigga]

To paraphrase one of the commenters on his review of The Owl, you know an album is trash if an extremely negative review has very few dislikes.

[@hiimemily]

"Hard to Forget" is easily the worst song on the album, so naturally it became a single, started gaining momentum on the radio, and crossed over to the pop charts, peaking high enough (#26) that it may very well make the year-end Hot 100. And here I thought "hot girl bummer" wouldn't have any competition for the #1 spot on my worst list. And to think, if Hunt had continued to pursue a football career, we may have been spared from his shitty brand of country.

[@MrODigga]

I came back to watch this for some light fun and I genuinely forgot this album came out this year. 2020 has been so goddamn long.

[@owenlombardo3013]

I like that Spectrum Pulse's 1/10 rating is colored red compared to any of his other ratings.

[@rjaredhamby]

Mark did you see this P4K review!? WTF? 7.5? "The Nashville star blends genres with charm and style on his first new album in five years, a marker of what modern commercial country can do at its heights." ~ just wow

[@RichardBatchelorComposer]

22 minutes?!?

[@thel-iteralone4592]

AJR (The Click): We're the proudest losers around here! Nothing can top our bastardization of indie pop!

[@jadenthemusicfreak]

Mark: Strong 1/10, avoid this like the goddamn plague.
