 Rating:  - BeautifulI'll just say this is a seriously gorgeous album. If you didn't know, Ryan is capable of delivering some sublimely pretty vocals, and I think this aspect of his voice is best displayed on this album. I don't find "Love is Hell" depressing at all as some people have written. Instead, this is an inspiring collection of beautiful, well written and performed songs. Ryan is an American treasure. Rating: - "This review is not helpful or insightful..."...I just wanted to put my two cents in and say that this "album" is one of the rare American musical masterpieces. Whatever you want to call it (and it does vary from track to track) - folk, pop, rock, the tired "alt-country" tag - it's all heartfelt, heartwarming, heartwrenching brilliance. I will never tire of this recording. Ryan Adams is truly a gifted artist and I love everything he's done (at varying levels of course), but nothing touches Love Is Hell. Rating: - Stays with youThere's a truckload of Ryan Adams' stuff out there, and I own most of it. However, in my opinion, this is his best work to date. It lives on my playlist and refuses to come off.

As a singer-songwriter, Ryan seems to draw his inspiration from the likes of Gram Parsons and Jack Kerouac, evident throughout this brilliant album. It's curious that Adams would release an album called ... Read More Rating:  - Strikingly solidAn album I found myself surprised appreciating. Some of the songwriting is not spectacularly original, but Adams exudes charisma and helps personify a great deal of this diverse session. What strikes me is the range of vocals he employs throughout the disc, dabbling in many of rock's sub-genres and channeling their masters with absolute ease. The title track never stopped effecting from my first encounter with that chorus. Browse for similar items by category:
