 "This review is not helpful or insightful..." December 1, 2008
ChillYoda (SouthEast, PA)
...I just wanted to put my two cents in and say that this "album" is one of the rare American musical masterpieces. Whatever you want to call it (and it does vary from track to track) - folk, pop, rock, the tired "alt-country" tag - it's all heartfelt, heartwarming, heartwrenching brilliance. I will never tire of this recording. Ryan Adams is truly a gifted artist and I love everything he's done (at varying levels of course), but nothing touches Love Is Hell.

There's a truckload of Ryan Adams' stuff out there, and I own most of it. However, in my opinion, this is his best work to date. It lives on my playlist and refuses to come off.
Ryan Adams Sings About Love and Hell. August 24, 2008
G. Merritt (Boulder, CO)
Although Ryan Adams' record label, Lost Highway Records, originally considered it commercially unviable, there are many things that make Love Is Hell (2004) a great alternative-country album. For one thing, it features a cover of the Oasis single, "Wonderwall," which even "amazed" Noel Gallagher. As a singer-songwriter, Ryan seems to draw his inspiration from the likes of Gram Parsons and Jack Kerouac, evident throughout this brilliant album. It's curious that Adams would release an album called "Love is Hell" at a time when his love interest was actress, Parker Posie, who even sang on Rock N Roll. The album also captured the attention of Dead bassist, Phil Lesh, who invited Adams to perform with the project, Phil Lesh and Friends Complete album tracks include:
1. Political Scientist 4:31
2. Afraid Not Scared 4:13
3. This House Is Not For Sale 3:53
4. Anybody Wanna Take Me Home 5:30
5. Love Is Hell 3:19
6. Wonderwall 4:08
7. The Shadowlands 5:18
8. World War 24 4:15
9. Avalanche 5:06
10. My Blue Manhattan 2:22
11. Please Do Not Let Me Go 3:35
12. City Rain, City Streets 3:47
13. I See Monsters 3:54
14. English Girls Approximately 5:40
15. Thank You Louise 2:50
16. Hotel Chelsea Nights 5:10

 Strikingly solid July 20, 2008
OneLove (so fla)
An album I found myself surprised appreciating. Some of the songwriting is not spectacularly original, but Adams exudes charisma and helps personify a great deal of this diverse session. What strikes me is the range of vocals he employs throughout the disc, dabbling in many of rock's sub-genres and channeling their masters with absolute ease. The title track never stopped effecting from my first encounter with that chorus.
Genius! May 15, 2008
Acetaminophen (here, now)
Ryan Adams is absolutely genius in this tour de force performance of painful emotions. I love pretty much every album he's put out, but this is possibly the best with Cold Roses very close by.
