Did Joe really just proclaim that Conor is a Ryan Adams wannabe?
Really?
Truthfully, I've never been able to make it through a Ryan Adams album without being disillusioned by his arrogance or bored to death by his recycled alt-country dream. In my book, the most notable thing he’s done is date Parker Posey.
So, I guess I'm a bad judge when it comes to discounting his worth versus Bright Eyes. I don't see how they are contemporaries... and if they are, how the audience of one would be able to appreciate the other.
I think the edge is definitely still there on the new album. He's a more mature version of himself and explores his themes of pain and joy with a more focused deliberate pen.
And yes, Desaparecidos rock the free world in a big bad way.
