Not Rated

I don't understand how this magazine's critics can sometimes completely fuck up album reviews. 3 Stars for Heartbreaker? 4 for Rock n' Roll? Obviously, the writer doesn't listen to music. Heartbreaker is the best Ryan Adams album. This kind of pissed me off.

There is something about this record that haunts me. The very first time I heard it I felt something like my heart being ripped out but then shoved right back in. His voice comes at me, first small and shakey, then strong and piercing (in the best way possible). All his music pulls at my emotions and make me feel something different than I felt before I began listening. Like his music creates something new. Every time I hear it. Personally and honestly, he just straight up kicks ass.

ok. on first listen's of heartbreaker you think to yourself "wow, track 2 and 3 are great but the rest is all ballad-like and too country for someone cool like myself"...the problem is that you're so intrigued by To Be Young... and Winding Wheel, that you keep on listening to look for more beauty. the next stunner you recognize is the perfect duet with emmylou harris on 'Oh My Sweet Carolina'. Ryan Adams' only has one problem, if he had released this album in the same year as 'Hotel California', this album would've been more successful, but because it was the year 2000, he only got a whole lot of hype.
this is the album that when it finally hits you in it's complete form, it will stay with you forever. Ryan Adams captivates you with Heartbreaker with his incredible song-writing skills and eventually breaks your heart
