iTunes Review
Hailed by fans as a return to the true grit of their form, Brighter Than Creation's Dark boasts some of Drive-By Truckers' best songwriting to date. This was not expected, partly because guitar player and co-songwriter Jason Isbell quit the band in the spring of 2007. New full-time member Jon Neff rounds out the sound with his own tone, his pedal steel helping to unravel a gripping ghost story on "Two Daughters And A Beautiful Wife," the album's opener. "The Righteous Path" is a fist-pumping country rocker that unapologetically leans hard on a heavily distorted Crazy Horse crunch, sounding like the bastard child of Neil Young's "Rockin' In The Free World." But the urgency behind Patterson Hood's voice and the story of a regular American guy trying to hold together the pieces of a crumbling patriotic ideal make this one an apt sequel to Young's 1989 anthem. "The Purgatory Line" is a haunting, slowing pulse of a song where bass player Shona Tucker coos like a heartbroken and heavy-lidded Neko Case.

Thanks
by moonshadow26Wow, just discovered this band today... I took a long slow walk through the forest with the snow falling around me and listened to the album in it's entirety. I was moved to fall to my knees by track 10 and was sobbing uncontrollably all through track 13.... The music and the message had great power and was well mixed together. There was hope in the last track and that brought it to completion for me..,. The message hit very close to home.... Thanks for your album - it taught me a lot about myself and where I need to be going...
One decent song for $12
by Scimitar CatsI heard "A Ghost to Most" on the local college station and liked it (still do). So, I took a chance and bought the whole album. Ouch! This is probably the worst collection of songs I have ever heard. There are a couple ("Two Daughters and a Beautiful Wife," "The Righteous Path") that are in the vicinity of mediocrity, but some of these tunes are the worst I have ever heard: "Daddy Needs a Drink" is as banal a rock song as I have heard (and that's not easy to accomplish after all this time!); the smirking "Bob" demonstrates just how clever this band is not; and "You and Your Crystal Meth" is absolutely, without doubt, totally, and completely the worst song ever recorded by anyone anywhere. (Is this band outsourcing its songwriting to junior high kids, or what?). Avoid this album like it's H1N1.
Great record
by Dr. Famine BonesThis is a good record and you should buy it. But the version of Goode's Field Road on "The Fine Print" is way better than the stupid recording on this album.
