Release Date: 2013 | Tracklist

Review Summary: Harmless fun.

In case fans weren’t aware of Luke Bryan’s four “Spring Break” EPs released on a yearly basis since 2009, they can now acquire all four of the EPs on one convenient compilation, Spring Break... Here to Party. Even with there being a four year age difference between “Shake the Sand” and the demo of “Take My Drunk Ass Home”, it’s made even more clear by this compilation that Bryan has thematically stayed true and loyal to this spring break concept throughout the years. The track titles themselves really tell listeners exactly what to expect from every song. This is a collection of songs made for fun in the sun, country style. The songs are all arranged in a random and drastically mixed up order from that of the EPs, as opposed to being in chronological listing, but it really makes no difference either way, as there’s really nothing that makes one track distinct from the next. It’s a nonstop joyride of poppy southern party anthems, there’s no pause for any bluesy acoustic moments to be found here, any one of the fourteen tracks to choose from are all tailor-made and precisely labeled for their purpose of providing the theme music to a day at the beach, and a night at the bar. Even though it’s not the most original stuff, every song on Spring Break... Here to Party does exactly what it’s designed to do, which makes for a compilation that has what any college student who has a love for country and is on spring break is looking for in spades.

Haha nice. This guy had a huge hit on some random country channel last year, while me and some mates were road tripping in the States. It became like the official soundtrack of the tour.

I really wish you reviewed more stuff that catered to our userbase. It's good to be versatile, but at the same time Sputnik has its niches, and country ain't one of them =[

Of course, you did the best job with this that you possibly could, but I guess I just love when you review things we're all interested in. Most comments here will be "nice review, but i'm never listening to this," and I wish this did more in the grand scheme of things

To be fair, sometimes it's nice to like something that's cheesy and be like "fuck it, I don't care, it's fun to me"

I don't even mind Luke Bryan's music, but holy shit can you get anymore cliche and immature? Comes out with an entire album prior to spring break with songs like "Suntan City", "Sorority Girl" and "Love in a College Town".....like godamn this guy is about as faux country as it comes.

I think this is the best really short review that I've written thus far. Happy with how it came out.

Releases like this are the reason i hate country so much

I have that same problem. I need to learn to be more condense with my writing.

Good review, Alex. I don't think I've ever met someone with a taste as diverse as yours.

I understand the target audience here, but most of this album is just downright awful. Luke Bryan doesn't even try to hide the fact he's creating a piece of mainstream nonsense that is faux-country at best. "Buzzkill" and "In Love With the Girl" are the only decent tracks.
