** "Chicken Fried", despite being their BreakthroughHit and SignatureSong, is divisive. Main points of criticism include less melodic/instrumental interplay than their later material, and hackneyed lyrics that hit on a lot of the radio-friendly tropes they would later avoid (such as the blatantly patriotic third verse).

It didn't help that the latter was launched by "My Old Man", a ballad seen by many as sleepy and boring, nor that the second single "Roots" inexplicably had half of its interesting lyrics gutted for the radio edit. Then came ''The Owl'', a 2019 project which featured even more electronica, R&B, and ''hip-hop'' influences which made the experimental ''Jekyll + Hyde'' seem tame in comparison.
