As the Bandcamp page explains, “Media Puzzle (May 7, 1997 – June 22, 2006), foaled in the United States, was an Irish horse best known for his win in the 2002 Melbourne Cup.” A few years ago, a group of Australians borrowed that name for their band, whose new album is appropriately titled New Racehorse.…

Humans are guests on Earth. Mother Earth not only protects—or needs to be protected. Sometimes she is the one who punishes. The Earth is breathing beneath me shows her at her deeply irritated and aggravated side.
Who else but Kurt Ballou could produce such a world-ending soundscape. Armed for Apocalypse don’t stand in opposition to the apocalypse; they actively help shape it in sonic terms. Here, things crash, rumble, shatter, and the very framework groans. When Armed for Apocalypse get moving, they can’t be stopped. When a massive boulder starts rolling down a mountain, you don’t stand in its way—you surrender to your fate.
“Lost without light” leaves nothing but scorched earth while “Keep up appearances” has some Rock moments. A personal highlight is the instrumental “Bathed in a tepid pool of my own filth” which would also have fit perfectly on a Primitive Man album. A slow descent, before the title-closing track celebrates the downfall once more for a full six minutes.
The future looks bleak, and the present holds nothing for you. That is the exact feeling this record encapsulates: it is grainy and angry. Armed for Apocalypse drives a rusty nail into the coffin where any hopeful prospect of things to come lies—and it is vicious.
Nobody mixes genres, rhythms and postcards from life like Kenny Chesney. Just listening to “Carry On,” the ebullient cocktail of iconic bartender wisdom from the man the Los Angeles Times called “The People’s Superstar,” one is served a masterclass in the things that matter, the joy that should be harvested no matter what else is going on and the choices we’re given on a daily, even hourly, basis.
After spending 2025 as the first solo headliner and first country artist to play Vegas’ Sphere, two No. 1 New York Times best-seller list debuts for Heart Life Music, which was deemed “a love letter to the journey,” and induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame, the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar returns to music with new waves of inspiration and passion for the laidback magic of being completely, unabashedly alive.
Quick to empower people to see the glass as half full, Chesney serves “Carry On,” where electric guitars cascade into a molasses melody and the lyrics capture a picture-perfect polaroid of a barmaid who’s figured out the secret of life. Sixty-nine, smoking hot and pouring drinks at Key West’s legendary Schooner Wharf, the heroine who “kissed Elvis” and had stories that “would make Penny Lane jealous” knew how to shake off what didn’t matter – with a bridge that declares, “If it feels good do it, if it doesn’t, then don’t…”
“It felt great in the studio,” explains Billboard’s Top Country Artist of the 21st Century. “Sometimes when you’re running down a song, it all just falls into place because it just feels good. ‘Carry On’ was fun, because of all the different genres we drew from. Plus, I love a chorus that throws life wide open – and reminds you how to find the light no matter what’s happening.”
Crystalizing that truth, the chorus – which begs for arms-around-each-other shout-alongs – offers a benediction that delivers everything you need on a Tuesday morning or a white-hot Saturday night. Warm baritone forward, he leans into the declaration with gusto:
“Carry on karaoke, it don’t matter if you can’t/carry a tune in a bucket anyways
Carry on, who cares what the naysayers say/if it’s Saturday night get carried away
Carry on, carry on, you can’t carry nothing with you and it won’t be long…
til it’s six carrying you home… til then you gotta carry on…”
Co-producing with Buddy Cannon, Chesney reaches – as always – for the hardcore positive vibes that define his outlook and what his songs are made of. In the same vein as the multiple-week No. 1s “American Kids,” “Save It for a Rainy Day” and “Get Along,” “Carry On” is a road map to inspire through tough times, good times and all the other times in between.
“Nothing lifts a mood like music. It’s something people can find their attitude adjustment in without doing too much work,” Chesney says. “I love that this song says, ‘Get out there and sing, even if you can’t carry a tune in a bucket – because that’s real. We don’t care how you sound, we just wanna see everybody with their hands up, singing along with everything they’ve got. Those songs that change your energy are everything.”
Mixing his 20th studio release, Chesney’s focus remains great songs, pushing boundaries without betraying who he is and finding hits that open up possibilities for what feeling good sounds like.
