This person has no idea what he's talking about...it's NIGHTS not LIGHTS...and don't say it was a typo either...and the comments from casual fans of his, who are most definitely armchair music critics, is pretty annoying as well. If you don't like him...don't listen to him....don't talk about him...he's got a huge online fanbase that collects everything he puts out. Ryan Adams isn't for the casual fan...he gave you gold...take it and sod off.

I'm a fan. Demolition is one of the two or three rock albums by younger artists that really got under my skin over the past decade. I loved the second disk of Cold Roses. But the gems are scattered among a lot of frustrating half-good stuff. BTW, go back and listen to Burning Photographs from Rock N Roll. Or Nuclear from Demolition. Or Easy Plateau from Cold Roses.

There's a lot of great stuff in Adam's oeuvre that people I think never digested because of his ADHD career.

Claire's right - less is more with Adams.

I'm just a sampler. Will always love his New York, NY track from Gold.

I have such mixed feelings about Ryan Adams, but they boil down to the fact that I wish he edited himself better. He's a great songwriter, but would be better if he didn't flood the world with his output.

I have only listened to the album a couple of times, but it hasn't stuck with me too much. I really hate "Halloween Head," though.

Have you listened to his pre-solo work in Whiskeytown? Because I think a couple of those albums are wonderful.
