Honeysuckle & lightning bugs

"... Honeysuckle sounds more like modern hip-hop than Southern-friend hick-hop, it does give the album a heavy, dour blandness that doesn't sit well with Brown's decision to signify his country roots by ratcheting up the sentimentality. This blend of mawkishness and dank beats is pretty much the opposite of what "The Git Up" promised. The fact that Brown did hit the bullseye once just makes Honeysuckle & Lightning Bugs seem like even more of a humorless slog than it actually is".
