Based on the lead single, Lot Of Leavin' Left To Do, the answer would have to be, "Yes." The thing about Dierks' music is that he is able to write about the simply complicated things of life in a way that can be amusing at times and serious in others. As he points out in this song, loving a guy like him is definitely a risk because, like many guys, he's just not ready to settle in one place yet. It's a song that guys and gals alike can connect with, though likely in completely different ways.
The rest of the disc delivers more of the same lyrically. Dierks deals with losing his woman in two very different ways on Settle For A Slowdown and Domestic, Light And Cold. In the prior, Dierks deals with trying to let go and, knowing that she's not coming back, just wants a sign that he might be missed just a tiny bit...something not in the form of a stop, but merely a slowdown. On the other hand, in the latter, Dierks focuses on his drink of choice when his woman leaves him...no, not the fancy stuff like Cuervo Gold or Jagermeister...instead, Dierks wants exactly what the title says...anything domestic, light and cold. This one actually turns into a pretty amusing song.
On the other hand, Dierks seems to deal with his woman lying to him (and presumably cheating on him) pretty well on So So Long. This one is a pretty amusing song as well, and it just sounds like something Dierks would say to that kind of woman. He even gives her a kind warning: "Don't you slip slide on a tear when you find me gone." And Good Man Like Me, which features The Del McCoury Band, is another "good riddance" type song that, yet again, turns into an amusing song about a screwed up relationship. It's a technique in writing that Dierks has done very well with.
But not the entire disc is about bad relationships with women. In Cab Of My Truck, Dierks finds that that extremely messy cab of his truck really allows him to learn "everything I need to know about life and love." It's a pretty simple song, with most of the verses just written with Dierks naming off all the random things that are in his truck (a cracked windshield that's super-glued, duct tape, WD-40, etc.). But, in reality, it is one of the better tracks on the disc and is a likely candidate to be a radio single. And then there's what seems to be the most personal song on the disc, Gonna Get There Someday. This one is a song that seems to be filled with a lot of pain, but, at the same time, that glimmer of hope necessary to get through each day. It talks about a bunch of different things that are causing pain in Dierks' life, but Dierks knowing that someday he'll get to that place where the pain is gone and he has coped with his losses. It's definitely a song that will probably touch a lot of people and give them hope.
Overall, this disc is a solid disc. Most of it is focused on tough relationships, which might become tedious for some. However, with Dierks' ability to mix with, humor and seriousness all together, this should be a disc enjoyed by many a country music fan. It definitely beats out Dierks' debut disc, and gives promise that there will be no sophomore slump from this man.
