Review

Gavin Adcock’s Own Worst Enemy feels like a wide-open confessional, one that balances his outlaw bravado with genuine vulnerability. Released August 15, 2025, as his third studio album, it leans heavily into storytelling that owns up to mistakes — heartbreak, self-destruction, and that stubborn pride you can’t shake. Musically, it’s country at its core, but with flavors of southern rock, grunge-tinged distortion, acoustic balladry, and raw edges.

Adcock splits the album between loud, swaggering tracks and quieter, introspective moments. Songs like “On One”, “Morning Bail”, and “Sick and Tired” ride high on energy and defiance, while tracks like “Never Call Again”, “Graveyard”, and “Light a Fire” show the toll — yearning, regret, and bruised honesty. He doesn’t hide behind polish; his voice cracks, the instrumentation splices between full band punch and stripped down moments, and that contrast is one of the album’s biggest strengths.

But Own Worst Enemy isn’t without its flaws. Its length — 24 tracks, about 75 minutes in — makes its emotional weight a little uneven, and after a dozen or so songs the recurring themes begin to feel a bit familiar: regret, bad nights, lost love. Some of the louder cuts threaten to overshadow the quieter ones, which are often more interesting. Still, considering the ambition, the raw honesty, and the moments that really land, this is a solid entry in his discography. - Mason
