Maybe an unfair score, there is nothing wrong with the album but there's also nothing fantastic about it. The song writing is a little too straight forward and cliche and sonically it's nothing that Myles hasn't done better before.
That being said vocally Myles is great and his guitar playing is on point, super talented guy but would like to see him leave his comfort zone or go back to his jazzier or grungier roots ala Mayfield Four.

Not a poor album by any means, but tame, unspectacular and anticlimactic. Had a good time listening to it, but I can't see myself jamming it again.

In his sophomore release, Kennedy drops the acoustic guitar and drifts away from the folk-oriented approach that he adopted so successfully in the magnificent Year of the Tiger three years ago. It's not that The Ides of March is a bad album; the end result is much more diverse and pluralistic this time. Songs contain the same power and energy that Myles is channeling through his work with Alter Bridge. It is another example that solidifies his status as a great composer and superb lyricist. I found The Ides of March to be a solid result with some nice tracks but not an album that I will refer to when I want to listen to something from his solo work. Recommendations: 'The Ides of March', 'A Thousand Words', 'Wake Me When Its Over'.r

Cool bluesy instrumentals and guitarwork wasted as it is put alongside the most cliched, phoned in lyrics and melodies Myles Kennedy has come up with outside of his work with Slash. Lacks the emotional impact of the 2018 AOTY contender Year of the Tiger. Bring back the storytelling in your third album please
