Pat McAfee's 14-Song Album Draws Scathing Review Over 42 Minutes

Summary
A published review savaged Pat McAfee’s 14-track, 42-minute album as a repetitive vanity project, faulting his singing voice, exaggerated accent and lyrics.
The critic said McAfee repeatedly leans on a Jelly Roll-style country-rap sound, with several songs blurring together and tracks like “Rich As Shit” and “Click Clack” singled out for especially harsh criticism.
A few songs earned qualified praise: “Young Me” was called the strongest early track, while “No One Ever Knows,” “You’re Alive” and finale “Cheers To The South” were deemed at least palatable.
The review was framed as a humorous assignment sparked after Dan Orlovsky posted McAfee lyrics online, but it widened into a broader swipe at McAfee’s ESPN-backed sports-media persona.
