Hit: 5 Stars
Ryan Adams is one of the best songwriters today, and he has been making ambitious, bold music for years now, but with Rock N Roll, he finally lets loose and delivers the album he's been capable of. Fans of alt-country probably loved his past three solo efforts, but those who do not care for it, the albums were probably lost on them.Heartbreaker, Adams' 2000 release was a brilliant album, but I for one thought it was too twangy, the lyrics too beer soaked and monotone. So I for one was excited about his new album knowing it was a rock album. And now that I own it and have listen to it a few times I must say it's brilliant. Adams is at his very best. I hope he sticks to this route and continues to make amazing classic rock records.
It starts off with the electric guitar ever so delicately ripping at your ear drums and banging at your sole in the opener "This Is It" as he sings "Let me sing a song for you/ that's never been sung before." The fun continues in the T Rex like hammer "Swallow" and the beautiful, melodic, heartbreaking "Wish You Were Here" where Adams sings "there's nothing to do around here/ I'm totally f*cked up/ wish you were here." "Note to Self: Don't Die" is the highlight and one of the best songs written this year. Adams writes "I'm as cold as the stories you told but never sick enough to die/ Note to self: don't change for anyone."
The title track is warm and enchanting as he sings, "Everybody's cool playing rock n roll/ I don't feel cool at all." The album draws to an end with the brilliant and humorous "Do Miss America" and the amazing closer "The Drugs Not Working" with it's dark lyrics like "I was swimming through the streets of New York/ with my cocaine dagger and throats to cut/ and I was making her cry... but it was making me high."
The fifth song in, along with "Note to Self", is my favorite track called "So Alive", it is a tender and sincere melody and a showcase for Adams' gift as a writer "Today I watched the boats/ moving through the harbor/ walking on water/ In your amrs I'd stay/ Forever if I could"
If Rock N Roll is any indication of things to come from the worlds most cooky and brilliant young prodigy then the world is in store for a phenomenal ride.
