Free Music Notes for DemolitionFree Music Review: Brilliant Collection Hit: 5 StarsI've owned this album for several years now and never tire of it; it's that good. Those who compare it (usually negatively) to Gold and Heartbreaker are missing some very strong stuff. In fact I have yet to find a weak track on it. I own a lot of Ryan's recordings now but this remains the first I ever bought and a personal favorite. Both the songwriting and the production are superb.
Free Music Review: Aging Just Fine, Thank You! Hit: 4 StarsI was in a used record store the other day and found Demolition...And hey, this record is surprisingly great!...People's negative reviews make me wonder if they heard the same record. But, since I'm getting into this years afters its initial release, I have no hype or expectation to go on. The acoustic songs on here are among his most devastatingly beautiful. There's four of them in particular, "You Will Always Be The Same," "Tomorrow," "Cry On Demand," and "She Wants To Play Hearts." If you're interested in Adams's fragile, acoustic songs that threaten to shatter your heart with each whispered nuance, then these 4 are indispensable. Then there's a couple rock songs, and a couple country-ish ones, and a couple of those are great also. So despite it being a little uneven, at least half of Demotion is holding up quite well.
Free Music Review: Ryan Adams Hit: 5 StarsI bought this CD after hearing "Desire" on an episode of "House". While "Desire" is my favorite cut from the CD I like the whole CD which is unusual for me. I usually only like the song I buy a CD for and maybe one other song. The whole CD was enjoyable and I'll consider buying other CD's by Ryan Adams.
Free Music Review: Please ignore Hit: 5 Starsthe reviews that delve into a laborious description of how Demolition is a collection of leftover tracks that didn't end up on his previous album, Gold. I love this album more than Gold, and the truth is that Gold is a bit laborious itself, at least to listen to all the way through (16 songs). Demolition is a more concise and, to me, a much more tightly themed record. Don't be quick to trash this one.
Free Music Review: The Jim Carrey of Music Hit: 4 StarsRyan Adams is a musical chameleon. The opener Nuclear doesn't sound like anything he's done thus far. Although at this point I'm not sure if there's anything Ryan hasn't explored (Smiths-influenced ballads, Rap, NsYnc covers). I like this album a lot because there is such a huge variety, every song seems like it could be a piece to a larger album. Standouts include Cry On Demand, Game of Hearts, You will always be the same. I'd recommend this to anyone interested in Adams. This isn't an album just for the die hard fans, it's actually pretty accessible.
