Music reviews of Demolition
Music Review: Demolition is his best work
Rating: 5 Stars
Both musically and lyrically Demolition is the best album Mr. Adams has released(ever released if we believe he's done forever). It is the only album you can put on and play, start to finish, without any non-Ryan Adams listener* asking, "What the hell are we listening to?"(* people with bad, or no taste in music). In all fairness, this is a valid question with some songs on other albums. Not this one. It starts off strong with Nuclear, then Hallelujah,and on through the 6th track, then Tennessee Sucks(in the summer(it does)), and Dear Chicago. This album has a solid 9 very good songs, maybe 10. The others aren't bad at all, those 9 are that good. This album has better continuity than anything since Pneumonia, and not seen again until 29. I know 29 wasn't well received, but you can't argue that it's not consistent. This isn't a review of 29 though. Demolition, if you own more than 1 Ryan Adams or Whiskeytown CD, you'll be mad you deprived yourself of this one for the last 7 years.
Description of Demolition
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
