Description

Performer Notes:

  • As the album's title indicates, this is Ryan Adams' full-on rock outing. Here the former Whiskeytown leader/enfant terrible eschews all twang in favor of indulging his alt-rock id, and the result is a whirlwind tour through rock & roll history as filtered through his trademark swagger. Adams wears his influences brazenly, like patches sewn on his jean jacket, from the T-Rex stomp of "Shallow" to the snotty Nirvana/Smashing Pumpkins hybrid of "Note to Self: Don't Die" to a number of Replacements-influenced tracks, including "This Is It" and "Do Miss America." Ever the contrarian, Adams leaves the only truly subdued song on ROCK N ROLL for the title track, a move which nods towards the melancholy pop of his simultaneous release, LOVE IS HELL PART 1.

Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (12/25/03, p.104) - Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2003"

Rolling Stone (11/13/03, p.90) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...The best bullets here are like excerpts from a fantasy mix tape of classic glam and garage rock..."

Spin (12/03, pp.124-6) - "...He swaps pedal-steel filigree for synthesizers, and everywhere the guitars are cranked, the sneakers set on stun..."

Entertainment Weekly (11/7/03, pp.69-70) - "...In keeping with the alt-rock aesthetic, there is a primitive urgency to many of these tracks..." - Rating: B

Q (01/01/04, p.75) - Ranked #46 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003"

Q (12/03, p.121) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Adams is on fine, growly form on the uptempo 'This Is It'..."

Magnet (2/04, p.90) - "[U]tterly fascinating..."

CMJ (11/10/03, p.6) - "...This time, the alt-country ballads are nowhere to be seen, with Adams fully indulging his inner rock-star desires....with meaty hooks and distorted guitars that lurch from chord to chord, Adams growls out break-up and make-up anthems one right after the other..."

Mojo (Publisher) (11/03, p.120) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Ostensibly straightahead, uncontentious music....Like his debut, it feels like Adams has unleashed himself, without fear..."
