Free Music Notes for Demolition

Free Music Review: It May Take Some Time, But You'll Love It, Too.
Hit: 5 Stars

I bought Ryan Adam's CDs in a strange arrangement: first Gold, then Heartbreaker, then Demolition. I thought Gold was sheer perfection, and then with the first listen of Heartbreaker, I was enchanted even more. I didn't even know that was possible! I loved Heartbreaker to tears and was so nervous to listen to Demolition, because I knew it would be so hard to top that disc. But I finally gave in and played it one day.

And I hated it. It didn't move me, didn't put any emotion inside me, didn't make me wanna wake up and shake down the world like Ryan had done for me before. I sadly retreated back to Heartbreaker until I ventured towards Demolition again one day, and learned that the 2nd time is a charm in some cases ;o)

"Starting to Hurt" on that 2nd time I listened through the CD grabbed me and put me on my feet and stole my heart, like all good songs should. And after that, the rest of the CD melted into my heart as well. Well, except for "Jesus Don't Touch My Baby." Dear Lord, Ryan, I know you're trying, but it's just not working. I don't know of anyone else who enjoys that song, either. But just ignore that slight mishap and remember to turn the volume up REALLY LOUD on "Starting to Hurt." And don't be afraid to cry if you need to on "Dear Chicago."

summary? If you haven't bought a Ryan Adams CD at all yet, don't start with this one. START WITH HEARTBREAKER. Then eat up every piece of Ryan that you can . . . and you WILL want to after you get a listen of that album.

Demolition Poster

Extremely limited European pressing of his 2002 demo album includes a bonus CD that features four non-LP tracks, 'New York, New York' (Live In Amsterdam), 'To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)' (Live In Amsterdam), 'Blue' & 'Song For Keith'. 17 tracks in all. Universal. Lost Highway. 2002.
Former Whiskeytown frontman Ryan Adams claims to have written and recorded enough songs over the past several years to fill a four-CD collection--and that's in addition to his acclaimed 2001 breakthrough Gold. Wisely, Adams decided to skip the box set--hey, he's only 27--and issue a sort of "best of" compilation comprising 13 unreleased demos. Recorded at four different studio sessions in Nashville, Los Angeles, and Stockholm, with a cast of musicians that includes his road band the Pinkhearts, Gillian Welch, David Rawlings, Ethan Johns, Chris Stills, Bucky Baxter, and Greg Leisz, Demolition proves that Adams is still a work in progress: brilliant one moment, sloppy the next. When he's good, he's very good: the rousing country-rocker "Hallelujah," the brooding acoustic ballads "Dear Chicago" and "Tomorrow," and the jangly power-pop number "Gimme a Sign" are as fine as anything on Gold. But Adams sometimes lapses into mimicry, as he does on "Nuclear" and "Starting to Hurt," both of which could be outtakes from a U2 album. "Tennessee Sucks," a chronicle of a boredom-filled summer day in Nashville, sounds half-baked, while the closing track, "Jesus (Don't Touch My Baby)," which finds Adams (on synthesizer, guitars, bass, and drum machine) droning on like Leonard Cohen, falls in the "failed experiment" category. Despite its bright spots, Demolition ultimately comes off as a mixed bag. --David Hill
