One Hour Hero - Heartbreak Engines

Advantages: Beautiful
Disadvantages: You'll cry for hours

...Heartbreaker is filled with so much pain, sadness and complete devestation all carried in the soul destroying voice of Mr Adams. Instantly you'll be sucked into a beautiful, yet delicate little world where you'll yearn for your lost loves and reach out for anyone. I desperately desired to give Ryan a major hug as his voice is truly one of the most beautiful in the world and it really hurt me to hear it , but you just cant stop listening. Ryan Adams is such a heart playing artist, every word sung reflecting his feelings. His pain mirroring that of many people across the world somehow comforts you a little and you just want to lie in bed for hours and contemplate everything. highlights for me include, Call me On Your Way Back Home and Come Pick Me Up, both rhythmic, soulfilled sweeties but I must say everyone on this album is a gem...

The inlay is simple and depicts Ryan in pensive mode, both with and without his guitar.... Bless his unruly hair and bracelets... but enough of that tripe. The important thing here is the music. Recorded in a two week session at , Woodland Studios Nashville, in 2002, and released on Cooking Vinyl, this CD... Read review

It is of typical sum 41, mixing chuck with does this look infected, which seems to of come out a winner! although there are less guitar solos, because of one of there original guitarists leaving, you can barely tell, because the awesome riffs and great lyrics take over. I would definitely recommend this album to anyone who likes punk music or heavier music. The track march of the dogs was the last released single, and you can... Read review
