Title: You will hear this again and again...
Review: ...but this is the best album of 2001. It's the most complete work I've come across, and shows some excellent growth if your familiar with Whiskeytown's Pneumonia, or last year's Heartbreaker. It is a significant departure from both, but in an outstanding way. Ryan Adams has made an album that is both new and familiar. It's not the same retread albums you hear on the radio, but rather the songs that you hear in the back of your head from childhood, when artists had to convey their message in disguised lyrics, rather than dropping and F-bomb every 5 seconds. On a song like Answering Bell, you'll think you're hearing Van Morrison. Others will conjur Robert Plant, or the Who. But that's the beauty of this album. Adams has taken everything that was once great in music, and built upon it. Everybody may not adore this album, but you won't be disappointed in it.
