The album starts in a rather unconventional way for country music. The last thing you expect is a trippy music video talking about the interaction of philosophy and psychedelic drug use. He brings it back home, though, when he tells us that all the drugs he's done have changed the way he sees things, but love is the only thing that ever changed his life. This is, in my opinion, one of the strongest openings I've ever heard on a studio album. From this, Sturgill moves into more familiar territory with "Life of Sin" and "Living the Dream", especially with the wordplay of "I thank God for this life of sin". That's a classic country trope, and Sturgill delivers it in a charming enough way so as not to seem hackneyed.
