One, am not getting comments, so that’s now my official excuse for not answering anything for another year (last night answered comments from a year and half ago, luckily it was mainly comments to people who know me and what an unpredictable asshole I am).
So this is the new Ryan Adams album: Easy Tiger Z (hackthis) was looking out for me and sent it to me since we’ve been obliquely trying not to discuss out hopes and expectations for it lately.
I have a relationship with Ryan. He and I have been dancing around and with each other for years. He’s written some of my favorite songs of all time. He’s written songs that make me want to never listen to popular music ever again (critics, Rock N Roll was NOT that good, sheesh, Elijah Wood liked it!).
Right now I’m trying to come to terms with this new record that’s supposed to be a return to pre-crisis Ryan, and, there’s a song called “Halloween Head” on it !!!! What sort of commentary is even needed about that? HOW is a song like that not self-indulgent and artarded?
Some of this record is very good, some of it sounds like Neil Young. I really wish Ryan would get some new toadies who had some taste and could tell him *exactly* when he trips from artistically brilliant to tragically horrible.
Ryan, baby, really. I told you that you had one more chance, we both knew it was a lie. Please, next time don’t let me down.
