It's a grower!Give this album time and you'll never regret it. A quiet night in with a bottle of wine and you'll be hooked. You don't even need to be going through a tough break-up to appreciate it - although it helps! The melodies, the lyrics, even the album cover - everything is perfect. Enjoy! February 9, 2008
it's okay...growing on me
I like to give the entire album a chance before I skip to more popular song; however, I found myself ready to move on very quickly. I started listening at track one...skip...track two...skip... etc. I think there are about 4 really good songs on here, but I'm kinda disappointed that the first actual CD I've bought in a LONG time since iTunes and Yahoo music have come along did not live up to my impression of it.
The harmonica is bland. I dislike that aspect the most.
Other than that, I guess it was pretty good for the amazon price. WOULD NOT pay anything more than $12 for this CD. October 30, 2007
Outstanding
This is by far one of the greatest diplays of songwriting in an age where creativity is lost. Heartbreaker reveals Adam's amazing capability of being so musically diverse. Yes, it mostly has an alt-country feel, but I personally hate the use of that word for a genre. It comes down to songwriting for me, country-feel or not. This album truly is the product of a passion-fueled musical genius. Buy it! September 27, 2007
life is hell
Ryan Adams/GillianWelch/David Rawlings.....What more do you want???? i still reach for this CD for OH MY SWEET CAROLINA....i'm a lousy guitar player but that one i can do....in my opinion Ryan Adams is our premier DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH...and should be honored as such....even his crapwork is better than most....mea culpa if i am wrong July 10, 2007
A damn near perfect album
When I was just discovering Ryan Adams several years ago, a friend bought me this album, claiming it was his best. Not only is it Adams' best, it's one of the most consistent, timeless, ageless albums in the past 25 years.
There's truly not a weak track on it and the pacing is perfect. It never gets too twangy, yet has the down-to-earth, dusty lyrics that define the country genre (ie. "Be My Winding Wheel" and "Oh My Sweet Carolina", where Adams knows exactly where to use Emmilou Harris' haunting voice). "Bartering Lines" channels a young Neil Young and "Come Pick Me Up"'s drunken, almost-too-simple lyrics are made perfectly bittersweet with the catchiest harmonica melody imaginable. "Damn Sam" is a track that longing, scorned boyfriends will listen to on repeat. Rare, relaxed, pop/country/bluegrass sublimity. June 12, 2007
