Yeah, I get these comments.

Yeah I really don't know what the hell these guys are on about as far as the production goes. It sounds the way it sounds because that's the way they wanted it to sound.durdencommatyler wrote:This album feels like an album I've been missing; something I've been waiting for for a long time. It's satisfying on every level, to me. The production is a part of that. This thing is such a fantastic concept record. The production enhances that. It's all a part of the piece as a whole and adds so much to the listening experience. I can't imagine trying to divorce the production from the songs.

I feel vindicated. Which is not to say "I'm right and others are wrong." It's entirely a matter of taste. But I'm glad that someone whose tastes I often agree with also agrees with me here.
WaPo: In your ear buds, Sturgill Simpson’s new album is a drag. In person, it’s a triumph.
