Date: 2009-11-15 09:18 pm (UTC)"The country/teen confessional divide's been trickier than usual these days, what with Taylor Swift carrying on the legacy of teenpop confessional almost single-handedly for, like, two years running now and teenpop confessional stalwarts increasingly letting Martin/Luke/etc. deodorize all the feeling, and even the "feeling," out of their work. So when I hear Lady Antebellum sing "I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all" I'll gladly take it, even if it errs on the side of "feeling." Ambivalent about anonodude, who was much better providing unobtrusive back-up to Taylor on album #1 than he is in this more Sugarlandish co-protagonist role -- would rather see her taking that shot of whisky with some male harmony overdubs thanks. But I'm feeling ("feeling"?) the piano plinking and decorative electric guitar swoons and general swell of the thing.
