Summary: Ryan rocks
Comment: This is the first Ryan album I bought and now I have all of his stuff it's still one of my favourites. He's unquestionably (to me) one of the most talented singers/songwriters there has ever been, and how other less deserving artists continuously receive more attention and sales remains beyond me, but the sensible people know who's best!
Gold is Ryan's most accessible album, in the sense that the songs are catchy (and most of them are radio-playable), but that doesn't mean they are any less intelligent than any of his other material. He sings thought-provoking, challenging lyrics which always repay careful listening.
Highlights for me include New York, New York, Answering Bell, Rescue Blues, Wild Flowers, Firecracker... let's face it, they're all fantastic tracks. If you have never heard Ryan before and want an entry point, you could do worse than start here and ease yourself into an amazing talent.

Summary: Some tracks sound like old classics
Comment: This is my favorite album in my collection, and my favorite of Ryan Adams. I have all his albums. Some of the
tracks do sound like they have always been around, like 'La Cienaga just smiled' which you could imagine having topped the charts once, when they meant something. This is certainly more commercial sounding than his other albums but I don't see that as a reason to fault it. Some purists obviously prefer his purer sounds which is fine. I prefer 'Heartbreaker' sometimes. I would disagree with the Amazon review. Pedestrian ! Hardly. Too long ? At least you get value for money. Ryan Adams still seems to be a bit of a secret and worst of all, sometimes my friends have thought I'm talking about Bryan Adams !

Comment: If You've Never Stumbled Across Ryan Adams,Short of a Mispell,Then You've Found Something Very Special,If You Look for Something That Will Move Your Soul,Engage Your Brain And Move Your Feet i.e A Great Song Then You've Found One Of Those Rare Folk Who Can Do This.It Is An Album That You Will Listen to For a Very Long Time,So In The Most Simplistic of Terms Buy This,It Will Lift You're Spirits and Fill You With Wonder ,Not Many Purchases Can Do This.There Isn't A Weak Track and Boy Can This Guy Sing.

Summary: Quality throughout.
Comment: Ryan Adams is nothing but prolific, the amount of work he releases is astonishing yet the quality always remains, Gold is possibly his most commerical work to date and showcases a great selection of relaxing, lyrically apt songs that will eat away at you somehow becoming instilled forever. Everytime i hear any song from this album it seems to calm me, a fantastic album from a very good and still youngish artist, lets hope there's plenty more to come. 'La Cienega just smiled' is my all time favourite Adams song.

Summary: Pure Gold!
Comment: Certainly Ryan Adams' Best Album.
All 16 Tracks, different and spectacular.
Gold combines Ryan's Alt. Country Music with his more modern Rock Music. Enemy Fire a good example of this.
Wild Flowers and Sylvia Plath, both brilliant numbers in their own right and Answering Bell, considered one of his best songs!!! Every track on this deserves 5 Stars!!!
Ryan, this is too good for words
11/10 (Well Done Ryan!)
