Vocalist John Joseph McCauley III's singing is still raspy (like a down-home version of Axl Rose) but here, he and his crew flesh out their woodsy sensibilities with a larger scope. The sound is bigger, and the hooks are more palpable. By sacrificing grit, some of the charm that made the debut a success is lost along the way, but the sleeker production is only a minor setback. Even with a heavy helping of spiteful, desperate lyrics delivered straight from the bottom of the bottle, the sparkling production makes Deer Tick seem like a likely crossover to the mainstream, specifically those who love a more mature, NPR sound.","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46259050807583,"sku":"723721420253","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/33d4746e5568b34d9ca0fcefe1b49dd3.jpg?v=1777888894","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/born-on-flag-day-1","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
