Is this a form of mental illness, putting out all these songs? Dude needs an editor.

I wonder if Adams kept a reciept when he bought his own hype. He may want a refund.

They say if you start digging from the U.S., you will eventually hit China. I guess if Ryan releases enough material, he might eventually rip himself off instead of every other band in existence.

 

People criticised him before all this came out for putting out every fart that he recorded, and now when he pretty much does release it all and people think he's actually being serious?!?

 

"I read a review of a show where he was an asshole to some guy who kept calling him Bryan (great joke, might by a ticket to his show just so I can do that to him, see if he's a prick to me too), so it must mean he's a humourless, arrogant prick all the time and that every song he releases is a complete rip-off of someone else and that Adams thinks each is the greatest song ever, man..."

To each their own.

I dig RA's material, and especially the past few year's live shows

with the Cards. IMO, he is a great songwriter.

 

As far as the 8-10 "albums" on the website......HUMOR and having a

Good Time doing so. He hasn't taken much of the industry seriously

and it shows with these tunes. Keep on doing what ya do Ryan.

 

He may not be a "prolific" writer or I guess I mean ...some have stated

he is in a creative phase...I do like the fact he tosses new songs out there

live all the time. Many times written the night before, heck toss it out there

and see where it may go. Some work, some don't.

 

IMO, it's a refreshing change of pace from some bands (performers) who are

overly meticulous with song structure and presentation before putting it out there

for us.

 

I saw the 2 back-to-back RA & The Cards shows at The Tab in ATL last year. No songs repeated

and each night the "feel" of the performance were totally different. I would like to have

a little more of the attitude with another of my favorite bands.

Another thing on those who say he releases too much stuff.

 

What would you prefer, someone who put out an album every four-five years and have every song be great, or someone who puts out 1-2 albums a year where maybe 60% of the songs are great?

 

I know I'd take the latter anyday... As long as we get the killer tunes, who cares how much is padded around it? RA is like a lot of other people where his fans cannot agree at all as to what the best and worst songs are on any given album, so maybe it's best he releases it all and keeps us happy ;)
