His weakest release yet, John appears to be trying to add excesive amounts of emotion to his lyrics and songwriting, which only ends with a collection of rather boring, overly dramatic songs.

If you are looking for an upbeat, melodic album from Mellencamp like 2007's Freedom's Road, Life, Death, Love & Freedom is not for you. His latest effort consists of mainly gloomy folk songs that seem to put you to sleep more than entertain. There are couple bright spots, such as the excellent and hopeful final track, "A Brand New Song" but beyond that there's not a whole lot of interest here. It's not just the slow pace of the album, but the lack of memorable, compelling songs. Maybe I'll revisit this later and find it to be brilliant, but for now skip it buy Freedom's Road instead.
