I think that Pure BS is my favorite Blake album, as well as one of my favorite CDs from the past several years.

I think you’re right, CMW. It does really bleed together. Oh yeah, have I said enough that I’m not a Scott Hendricks fan? Well, I’m not.

Just for the record, I too would put Startin’ Fires second behind Barn & Grill on my short list of favorite Blake Shelton albums.

I think Chris N. is right about this collection hanging together in a way that Shelton’s previous efforts haven’t, but that’s part of my problem with it – Shelton finds a sound that suits him,* but doesn’t diversify it enough to hold our (slash my) interest for 40+ minutes. It hangs together so well that it gets monotonous.

* This is a big step. His first couple albums sounded like an identity crisis.
