Rock N Roll is the best album I have heard in years...
Don't pass up a chance to get the new Ryan Adams CD Rock N Roll. It is great fun and in the same vein as a good 70s or 80s rock album.
Highly recommended.

I was just thinking to myself..."I wonder if anyone on HTF has reviewed this album for me yet?" And here it is, albeit a short review. Thanks!
I'll be picking this up tonight. Has anyone picked up the Love Is Hell, Part 1 [ep] released the same day?
BOB: What are you doing?
DIGNAN: I\'m putting a piece of tape on my nose.
Anthony tapes his nose. They stare out the windshield. The alarm on Dignan\'s digital watch goes off.
DIGNAN: (immediately, dead serious) Let\'s get lucky.

It's pretty good but I have only heard a few songs-more of a somber tone versus the raucous tone of Rock N Roll.
Get Gold if you don't already have it as well.

Lee, since you have the disc, is it just me, or does "Shallow" borrow the main riff from "Long Cool Woman"?

It does sound familiar yet different.
The guitar riffs on this album are great and sound well recorded.
This stuff is so good you'll never hear it on the radio.

I dig this album a lot. At first I wasn't terribly impressed, but it's really grown on me. I still like Love is Hell better, but that's just because I think it has more depth. Rock n Roll is definitely a lot more fun, though. Rock n Roll is a great Saturday night record. Love is Hell is perfect for the morning after. They are both great in their own way.

I agree Paul. Rock N Roll just seems to be getting better for me as I listen to it now for the 6th time.
Why can't more artists do heavier guitar riffs like this?
It's loud, clear, creative, and the hooks really dig into ya.
I read an interview of Ryan Adams that was interesting in Spin magazine. They like the album also.

Rachael, the big disc cat! I used to be looking for Hi-Vision Laserdiscs & D-Theater tapes, now I'm looking for HD-DVD's and Blu-rays.
I survived the AFI top 100 Film Challenge! I've seen them all.
