Release Notes:
--------
It has taken Ryan Adams more than a decade, and he has finally done it: he's
recorded his straight-down-the-line stadium-rocker. In contrast to the muted
strum of its predecessor, 2011's Ashes & Fire, this self-titled album is
monolithic, bombastic, urgent. It doesn't pay to listen closely to the lyrics,
because what emerges is repetition: images of fire, darkness and entrapment that
signpost generalised angst without articulating specific emotions. No wonder
variations on the phrase "nothing to say" appear in three songs; two of these,
Gimme Something Good and Trouble, sound equally generic with their broad riffs
and barrelling vocals; the third, I Just Might, throbs like a swollen vein and
ends with a shivery outburst that echoes Born to Run. This is a knowing album,
an album that declares, I will rock you. Yet its finest moments are in its
smallest details û the ghostly murmurs of Feels Like Fire and, in Kim, Adams's
voice catching on the word "heart", as though his own is filling his mouth.
