General Interest

Enjoyment of Rock N Roll--Ryan Adams' follow up to his alt-country hit, Gold--is largely dependant on both your approach to it and your knowledge of rock's rich history. There's definitely plenty to enjoy, if you look in the right places and don't focus so much on others. If you know zilch about music, but love gritty, rough and ready rock with big, fat slices of tunes, crunching guitars and attitude, then this will make you growl. If you loved Gold, but secretly hoped something rockier would emerge after Adams's much publicised socialising with the Strokes and tribute-paying to Noel Gallagher, then this may be your record of the year. However, if you know your stuff, then you may feel uneasy. Not disappointed, but a little cheated. Why Because, internal record-company politics and artistic tantrums aside, this is more Ryan Adams "In the Style of..." than anything else. For instance, "This Is It" sounds exactly like a Strokes song would sound, "Shallow" is Definitely Maybe-era Oasis (even down to the stolen T-Rex riff) and "So Alive" is 1980s U2.

That isn't to say the songs aren't anything short of fantastic (especially the almost ethereal, emotional "So Alive" ("Today I watched the boats / Moving through the harbour / Walking on water / In your arms I stay")--great melodies, great guitar work. But you have to wonder, why. Thinking about that can only diminish enjoyment. It's not his best work, but still damn good dirty fun. --Cortman Virtue
