Will Hermes from Rolling Stone stated about the album "It's a nostalgic LP, musically and thematically, about the value of roots – surprising, maybe, from a woman behind songs like Lambert's 'Pink Sunglasses' and 'Getaway Driver', which broaden country's palette. But Hemby's a master craftswoman, and in an era of rule-by-Twitter, songs like 'Grand Restoration' and 'Time Honored Tradition' make a case for traditionalism being its own kind of progressivism."[5]

gollark: Reject cat eyes, use octopus eyes. Or maybe cuttlefish.
gollark: If you change one base pair it probably shouldn't affect more than one protein.
gollark: Each gene makes one protein in normal circumstances as far as I know. A protein is a sequence of animo acids, which are defined by 3 base pairs each.
gollark: Some things are simple and controlled by one gene, like basic hair color and some genetic diseases, but others are horribly complex and have a ton of related genes and environmental factors, like intelligence and height.
gollark: *Is* that one DNA change? I thought it was a bunch of them and/or environmental factors.
