According to review aggregator Metacritic, Dad Country received generally favorable reviews from critics.[2] For example, Robert Christgau gave the album an A-, and said that it "presents [Fritz] as an ordinary Southern-accented male with an unusually high-strung larynx who goes to bars and forgets the garbage and bathes in the holy pool of the Mount of Venus and catches sick and drives 250 miles to get tossed from your birthday party just like any other fella."[6]

gollark: `BUY BUY BUY` - a retrospective of the gold bubble of 2018The Gold Crash was triggered by a crash in the price of golds after TJ09 probably broke something (it's either a feature or just an isolated incident). Previously very valuable "Gold" eggs became cheap, with nebulae (a previously cheap and common item) attaining incredible heights of price.
gollark: Brokenitude.
