Ryan Adams Demolition

Included in Rolling Stone's "50 Best Albums of 2002"
3 stars out of 5 - "...Unified by his gift for melody, the theme of heartbreak and his adenoidal vocal resemblance to Paul Simon....the ballads are much better than the rockers..."
Ranked #33 on Spin's list of 2002's "Albums of the Year"
7 out of 10 - "...Adams at his soulful, hyperstudious peak..."
"...Dominated by intentionally underproduced acoustic ballads...Adams is very adept at this genre....[The music] wafts in the air and settles gently on the furniture..." - Rating: B-
3 stars out of 5 - "...An album largely split between moments of hushed intimacy and gonzoid rockers....it sounds like Adams is auditioning to be the next John Cougar Mellencamp..."
Ranked #13 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year"
4 stars out of 5 - "...DEMOLITION is further proof that his creative instincts are still intact..."
"Adams commands each musical style with ease and authority....the quality of the material makes it hard to believe these songs are all untouched demos..."
Ranked #22 in Mojo's "Best Albums of 2002"
"...A fine, multi-faceted album with very little surplus."
8 out of 10 - "DEMOLITION finds Ryan Adams in a fittingly traditional musical setting--at a crossroads."
