Amazing album

WHO THE HELL IS THIS ARTIST

Just an incredible album from start to finish!

A actual country album where a person writes more than 3 good songs.

Just not the caliber of previous albums.

I'm a big fan of Jason's work and this is no exception. A great album from start to finish. The guitar solo on "Overseas" is incredible. I can feel the passion. Thank you Jason,Amanda, and the band.

Artists like Isbell come along only once in a while: an artist with a terrific story with epic ups and downs. His humble upbringing which saw him fall into his talent, rocket to notoriety with the DBT, fall into addiction, crawl out of the abyss, and find love and family. Now a well established, well connected, and critically beloved artist where does he go from here? More songs about addiction and redemption? Cookie cutter drivel to collect a pay check, tour, and sneak onto mainstream radio? Not at all. This record was different for me as almost half of it was available before it was released and I had heard one other song at two shows last year. At only 10 tracks I listened to it quickly, but ended up listening to it about a dozen times on release day. While some of the dark, open, personal, eerie content is gone the lyrics stand out. Even the final track which just reading the title tells you all you need to know contains powerful empathy that all parents deal with. Its almost as if Isbell only knows how to write great lyrics - no filler - no cliche. My only complaint is that the record seems short. I feel like there are about 4-5 tracks on the cutting room floor that may have pushed this effort into a blah record, but these 10 were enough to show how many more steps there are in the journey. The highlights for me are definitely the opening “What Have I Done to Help?” A great question for any human being who complains about a world on fire. “Overseas” has a wonderful melody and is an allegorical song according to Isbell which is odd because I wondered myself how he felt when Shires goes on tour without him? All the other songs tackle some sort of “issue” and all deserve multiple listens to absorb the message. However, I’m curious to see what comes next? Not that I’m already disposing of this album, but he has succeeded in that I’m left wanting more! Will he fall off the wagon? Will his marriage suffer some bumps and bruises? Will the band change? It almost feels like some of that has to happen for him to continue this unbelievable streak of brilliance. Isbell himself says he writes about his life. If he’s not dealing with “something” can he write great music? I for one think he will instead become a voice for others. He will become an observer who is able to encapsulate others emotions and life situations into beautiful music. He will be able to look at the world and not just “talk” but help people think and act. Great musicians don’t need to keep falling down the abyss to be great even though that’s what got him here. Reunions feels like Isbell’s way of telling us he is moving on with his life, but he has not forgotten what brought him here, but it doesn’t mean he has to be that person forever. As the album cover speaks to me: he is a small figure under a big tapestry and he’s just getting started.

Wat is this

Normally I can find a couple good songs on his albums worth listening to. This one feels boring and rushed to me.

Love it. Can't listen at super high volume.. seems recorded at higher pitch. Hurts my ears a bit. The music is just so good it's piercing. 🤣

Just not digging this one. All the melodies and riffs sound the same

Jason Isbell has it all: deeply soulful, phenomenal songwriter (one of the best ever), great guitarist, and an unmistakable voice which is what the best singers have--you hear them and immediately know its them. And to Jason: I read the NYT article today, and I hope at some point you are able to relax from the fear that each album won't measure up to the last. To hell with that. Write what is true to you, keep opening your heart and your mind, stay true to your incredibly talented wife and spunky daughter, and keep making the music that moves you and Amanda. Don't worry about the little people with their little lives who can't compete with you even in their dreams. This love comes to you from Knoxville, Tennessee, where we need all the beautiful Americana music and truth that we can get. Keep raising your voice and your musicianship! We hear you.

Heard one song only & bought it ($6.99...industry go a little wiser at least) Letting You Go...I have a 2 yr old daughter. She will grow up with her Dad singing this to her. Thank you, Jason for defining these moments for us. Truly a gift and we are all glad to have your voice & songwriting to pass on to our sons & daughters. May they sing them to theirs.

This is yet another masterpiece. The man has talent that comes along once in a lifetime. People have been hesitant to put him up with the all-time greats, maybe because of his age, but this record seals the case that he is in the group. I had already thought that, but maybe everybody else will. Also, Jimbo,Derry, Sadler,Amanda,and Chad just kill it. There were some early reviews about the “political songs” on this record. If you think that, you need to seek out professional help. Being a decent person is not political. Buy this record.

This album is great lyrically and the guitars and other instruments sound great. The one star reviews are mainly driven by politics which I don’t understand why you would care so much about if the person is democratic or republican you should decide your review based on whether you like the music or not

First five songs are wonderful. Love “Dreamsicle” - incredible piece of songwriting

It just doesn’t seem realistic. The continuity of excellence and all. Reunions, as of this moment, is Jason’s Masterpiece.

The only politics that matter are those of the heart and the soul - as a writer and a musician, Jason Isbell is a truly gifted explorer of those politics. He is increasingly capable of using the intensely personal to express the universal - and with a rockin band behind him. This is a very fine album: superb writing, deft capturing of powerful emotions that never swerves into sentimentality, and great music that carefully navigates the tricky territory between bittersweet memory and proud celebration that is so characteristic of the best Southern music.

Jason is a lyrical genius. This album continues his ongoing legacy.

I don’t agree with Jason’s politics but his music is outstanding just like this album is

Every song on this album is great! Everyone has their own style of music...let’s stop bashing!!

Probably the best songwriting I’ve heard in the past few years...definitely deserves Album of The Year at next year’s Grammys

Love it, but I knew I would! Amazing songwriter and storyteller. Can’t wait to take a deeper dive into each song.

There almost aren’t words to describe the sheer genius and depth to this album. There’s a marvelous depth and a consistency to the album that only gets more intense with each listen. I don’t toss the word “masterpiece” out very often about ANY artist. People who think artists like Zeppelin never did ANY wrong are so blind to reality. Isbell’s catalogue is so much stronger than nearly any singer nowadays that the ability to top anything he’s done before is purely AMAZING. This is a masterwork. And a craftsman at his peak.

From start to finish, this album is a winner... just like all his others. Jason Isbell hasn’t released a bad song yet. Amazing.

Love love love it, the music the lyrics.. take me places I need to go to… thank you for your artistry

This man is a tool with crappy music. Now he is riding Tucker carlsons coat tail to try and get publicity to push his new album. Highly do not recommend

Isbell is on a roll. Just finished my first listen of the album front to back. He balances rock and acoustic like a master. Looking forward to my next listen already! Thanks for releasing this at a time we desperately need art.

There are only a few artists in every generation who possess the songwriting ability of Jason Isbell. His songs are able to reach deep into your soul and convey emotions and themes that are are universal and personal at the same time. This is not a political album. Simply another superb album by Isbell!!!

One of my favorite songwriters but the songs and performances just aren't very strong. 'What Have I Done To Help" starts off abruptly but has a great bass line going for it. But clocking in at nearly 7 minutes it becomes redundant and the slide guitar in the closing minutes gets annoying...this needed a better arrangement to be worthy of its length. 'Only Children', while musically derivative of some earlier songs is about the only song that held my interest. The uptempo tracks are 4/4 time boring and some of the lyrical ideas are just banal. I'm starting to think that a little less 400 Unit (Southeastern, Something Less Than Free) might be a good thing next time around. I hope it's an abhoration.

He's just so good. The writing and production are stellar. I love the guitar on Overseas.

Songwriting, musicianship and vocal ability. Jason has it all. Another great album.

Reunions of mental pastime and nostalgic youthful nights of innocence, finding purpose in helping others to follow honest pursuits; a beautiful mental excursion. Another week and waiting for what’s next....thank you for sharing your music, I think it helps people be more reflective and it brings joy and hope to a lot of folks, Thanks man

that this guy, somehow, keeps getting better? I've only heard the pre-released stuff but even if those were the only things on there this would rank as a top-notch album. Even for him.

Phenomenal storyteller and songwriter!!

He isn't that great and the first single is like a bad 80’s dance song.

I was looking at the reviews before listening to this ... And I'm not sure what people were hearing... Jason is very skilled, and I was impressed with the variety of styles, moods, and tempos on this CD. I'm buying it as soon as I finish this review.

The songs on this album are incredible! Jason is a artist who beautifully delivers his perspective and his “truth.” This one going into heavy rotation on my playlist!!

So gooooooooood! Best album of the year

He never disappoints Jason is one of our greatest treasures of songwriting...

Jason you are admirable, talented and all that. Pretty sure you know you can do better. Check out Adam Zagajewski - couldn’t hurt.

Love this album so much!

Bad

Great lyrics + great musicians. Can’t ask for more than that!

What a lot of mediocre music - and he’s messed up Amanda Shires at the same time. What on earth is happening ? Lyrics may be telling but really nothing else, same music as 3000 other bands and if you get out of the commercial “measure” of a band/musician, there are hundreds providing really something to marvel and wonder at (both lyrically and musically). You just need to look for them instead of being fed the “norm” which I’m afraid this is. Spend lockdown time searching and investigating outside this commercial conveyor and you really could be surprised.

Maybe the greatest regardless of age, and this album adds to the already incredible catalog dating back to the DBT days. It’s fresh and familiar at the same time. If this is your introduction to JI&400U it is a good one. If you’re a long-standing fan you will feel as if you’ve grown with the band.

Jason Isbell is one of the great singer songwriters. This album finds him in an introspective mood. I love every track. What Have I Done To Help has haunted me since the first listen. The 400U is in top form. I can’t wait to see it performed live.

I’m amazed that Jason can continue to write such original music. Every song makes you think. Jason can rip at your heartstrings. In my opinion he is at the top when it comes to writing and performing

I love Southeastern and Something More Than Free, but this CD is hard to listen to, I don't hear anything melodically or lyrically to hold my interest.

This is the culmination of Jason's gift of songwriting anf story telling.

ANOTHER GEM! Jason Isbell takes thought, seriousness and self worth to new heights. Pure magic.

Wholesome sound throughout, worth every penny.

Isbell continues to shine!

Isbell is the best songwriter in American music today, Reunions is just proof. I can’t believe how many layers the songs can have, the characters are as elemental as the music. Sometimes he writes about his own life, sometimes it’s fiction, but all of it’s pure. Easily one of the best records of 2020 thus far.

Isbell continues to impress!
