Heartland rock turned weary and ruminative, the small-town anthems giving way to barbed reflection. 'Pop Singer' kicks at the music business with jangling sarcasm while the rest broods over love, money, and disillusion in dusty acoustic tones. Mellencamp pulls inward here, trading fist-pumps for hard truths. A gritty, grown-up gut-check of a record.
