Analogman Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The whole album is streaming at PAX-AM. So far, I'd say it stinks. I have not listened to Rock n Roll in a long time, but it seems to be similar to that album. I think I am done buying his albums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vacant Horizon Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 i got exited when i first started listening, but that kind of fell away and now i'm pretty apathetic. too bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nodep5 Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 Different strokes I guess. I've had trouble stepping away from it. I think III is really strong. I think expectations are a huge thing with Ryan. I know my wife did not like Rock n Roll when it first came out, but since she tends to warm up to his rockier/fun songs quicker than me, like HalloweenHead, Magick etc. She thought III/IV sounded strong upon first listen. I guess if you go in wanting the folkier/rootsier side this will likely leave you doubting. I don't know, Ryan's rocking affairs sound to me like him halfway trying and still kicking ass like poeple like the Foo Fighters or Killers or etc wish they could.

solace Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 for me it has absolutely nothing to do with wanting folksier/rootsier stuff. i feel like at best these are 1/2 assed sounding versions of songs that made RNR (which was just a good not great album to begin with). plus some of the lyrics are just atrocious. it's not awful, it just feels like he wrote most of these songs in about 10-15 minutes.

Analogman Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 The other day, I was watching TV, and landed on some new Country Music Video channel we have here. The songs I heard sort of reminded me of Ryan's new album. It's very generic. There is just nothing that reached out and grabbed me. I recall the first time I heard Inn Town, and I knew straight away that was an album I needed to buy. Now I understand those days are long gone, but still, he just ain't making music that does anything for me. The music is just too similar sounding. And it does sound like it was put together in a hurry. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This I think is how I feel when trying to express my dislike for late period Son Volt vs. original lineup. The lyrics just are unavoidable (in a bad way) and I can't get past it. That being said, with Ryan lyrically on albums like Cardinology, ultimately Easy Tiger and III/IV, even though I find these to be a tad verbose, they feel inspiring and truly emotional. Who knows? Ryan has something for everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 That is true. If the new album, and the last one move you, then that is a good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually heard that in the very same record store where I also heard Nothings Shocking for the first time. I wish it was still around. It is a great opening track.

welch79 Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ok, now that I have heard the new record(s) on the ol' vinyl, I'll state my two cents. I hope all of you who were down on this record (before it was even released) give it a proper listen. If not cool, but you may miss out. I think III is really solid, catchy, and focused. IV takes some chances (hits at times, maybe misses at times), but it is not safe at all. I think to listen to this as a proper album, and not do the old it sounds like cast offs, or it sounds great for throwaways, and just view it as a proper release gives it some credence. Who knows, but I'm thrilled to have 21 new tracks to digest. I guess I would say (not having listened to Rock n Roll for a year), that it sounds like a more personal/real/raw version of that record, more range of emotion also. Not that I would have a clue about that though, since I'm not him?totally, 100% agreed after some initial misgivings. as some dude on a blog wrote (paraphrasing b/c now i don't remember where i found it), "this is not a good place to start with ryan, but any fan who was devoted time to him would definitely have a hole in their collection if they passed on this outing." it's a damn shame that the cardinals and ryan parted ways. who knows why? i'm sure there were good/bad reasons. but what a damn good band, the cardinals with ryan out front. surely, surely they will reunite one of these days.

brianjeremy Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 For the Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown fans... September 13th:Ryan Adams Love Is Hell never before on vinyl** Not correct. It was released as a 2x10" LP. I guess it's the first time as a 12" but not the first time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

welch79 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 January 25th:Ryan Adams GOLDi grabbed this the other day. the clear vinyl is cool, although a gold color would have been more fitting (or red, white'n blue). can't wait to snag pneumonia as well, and that will be a perfect color for that album (clear). i read somewhere that ryan and the cards were, in addition to touring...europe, rumored to be putting out more "vault" stuff on record store day this year, on pax-am. anybody else read/heard?

Analogman Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I thought it was just Ryan solo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welch79 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I thought it was just Ryan solo?i think he is touring behind the solo tracks that he recorded over the winter, but i think the rsd realease is with the cards...maybe from the cardinology sessions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 If that is the same stuff that we got on the last two releases, then he should junk it. But, that is my view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
welch79 Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 found it...and there are two upcoming releases: 92) Ryan Adams & The Cardinals Class Mythology EP (2x7" 1 yellow, 1 orange) (2500 copies with poster and sticker, features 4 unreleased outtakes from the Cardinology era) that one is for record store day. and (on pitchfork): "Adams is also currently working on a new album with producer Glyn Johns (the Who, the Rolling Stones)."
