Since leaving Curb Records and operating independently (read: without the oversight of someone concerned about sales potential and/or production quality) Hank III's records have taken a major turn for the worse.
He caught lightning in a bottle with the album Straight to Hell, and issued a mostly solid follow-up with Damn Right, Rebel Proud, but now it seems like he's more concerened with being edgy than actually developing his ideas. Ever since Ghost to a Ghost/Gutter Town, it's profanity for profanity's sake, shoehorned metal breaks, and downright fatiguing production. Brothers of the 4x4 is the last album I heard from him, and I couldn't make it past the second track before just completely giving up.
