Track X Track First Listen: Prisoner by @TheRyanAdams
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
01 Do You Still Love Me?
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
01 Ryan is still in the Tom Petty zone. Even the melody
sounds like 70s Petty— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
01 Dig the organ! Take us to church @TheRyanAdams

02 Prisoner
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
02 Love the Johnny Marr style jangle in the
opening guitar. Imagine Morrissey singing these lyrics. Could work, actually!— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
02 Feels like something @TheRyanAdams would have recorded in the Demolition days
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
03 Doomsday
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
03 The harmonica returns. With a little more edge, this could have been a track off Gold

04 Haunted House
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
04 Is this the sequel to Halloween Head?
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
04 I’m getting a Springsteen vibe on this track, like Tunnel Of Love era.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
04 Deep background organ (haunting) somehow feels like Crowded House “Don’t Dream It’s Over”
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
05 Shiver and Shake
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
05 Again with the Springsteen vibe, @TheRyanAdams. Kinda like "I'm On Fire."
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
05 The guitar pings near the end remind me of The Smiths
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
06 To Be Without You
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
06 This one feel like it could be a Whiskeytown throwback. Very alt-country. A little bit Eagles.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
07 Anything I Say To You Now by @TheRyanAdams
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
07 Back to the Petty vibe on this song.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
07 The melody reminds me of the remake of Tears For Fears "Mad World" from Donny Darko

08 Not to be confused with Breakdown Into The Resolve by @TheRyanAdams
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
08 Wow, this could have been a lost Neil Young song!
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
08 I love how the power builds on the second chorus. Sweet phaser effect on the bridge!
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
08 Yeah, we were definitely out of Neil Young territory there for a minute on that bridge.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
09 Outbound Train by @TheRyanAdams
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
09 Back to the land of Springsteen. The music and lyrics are totally Boss!
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
09 "I was so bored…" Not sure Bruce has ever been bored.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
10 Broken Anyway by @TheRyanAdams
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
10 Opening guitar has a strong Joni Mitchell vibe… and a little bit Extreme "More Than Words," actually! LOL!
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
10 Then drums kick in and we know it's @TheRyanAdams after all
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
10 This song doesn't feel like it's going anywhere, I'm afraid. Meh.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
11 Tightrope by @TheRyanAdams
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
11 Mostly acoustic guitar and vocals. Feels like it is missing something… like the band.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
11 The breakdown redeems it. The ghost of Clarence Clemmons on sax? And a little bit like The Replacements "Talent Show"
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
12 We Disappear by @TheRyanAdams
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
12 More of the Smiths vibe, like a slowed down "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
12 Final guitar solo awash in reverb is great! Haunting laughter in the distance.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
Over all, not a departure from recent @TheRyanAdams albums, but decidedly mellow.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
Prisoner by @TheRyanAdams is a Sunday morning album, rather than a Saturday night soundtrack.
— TrackXTrack (@trackXtrack) February 17, 2017
Definitely one of his more consistent albums.
