Blackhole

Ryan Adams

A jagged, high-voltage pivot into distorted indie rock and post-punk. Blown-out guitars and desperate vocals replace the artist's usual acoustic warmth.

It's the sound of Ryan Adams finally letting the guitars scream in a dark basement.

A frantic, distorted descent into late-night anxiety and raw rock catharsis.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition into the chorus of Likening Love to War where the guitars finally redline.
The way the vocal strain on Call Me Back feels like it might actually snap the tape.
The sudden, jarring silence that punctuates the end of Starfire before the next track hits.
