3.21.12 - 4 Partial Songs, Salt Lake Radio Promo

I love the sound (what we've heard so far) of this cd. Then again I am a fan of pre-idol Adam music also (leaving it at that).
I hear 80's, disco, dubstep, rock....lol Love it. Saw on twitter last night few people saying he should not go to the 'rock' side....why the hell not? lol. I loved hearing him do the rock music. He isn't 'one type" of music and I love that. He does what he likes. Defintely doing a different thing w/ this cd by letting us hear so much of it, even at live events, he knows it's going to be on You Tube within 2 hours after the event, lol. I think this will work in his favor. He is definetly different in EVERYTHING he does and does it well!
I do think there will be some consideration of what we like off the cd for a new single )

Another acoustic Cuckoo. Adam said this is the first day he is doing the song since the Atlanta's.

I must've missed the "whiny ballady" stuff. And LOL, some of the biggest hits for rock bands are their ballads. "Open Arms" was Journey's biggest U.S. Billboard hit, "I Don't Want To Miss a Thing" debuted at No. 1 and was the biggest hit of Aerosmith's nearly three-decade career.

My presets are split between classic rock, HAC, alt/indy rock and CHR – some listeners will never cross over, but the snooty alt/indy station is playing what I consider boy bands right now. Something I would never have imagined a year ago. You can flip from the snooty alt station to KIIS-FM and the same song will be on. ??? ??? That has been previously unheard of and I've been listening to these two stations most of my life.

Bruno's fans were flailing on Twitter from the tweets RTed onto my feed last night. Maybe they're buy it, maybe not, but I think they're more likely to be in alliance as opposed to competition.

And though I always love Adam live, I think the production on these is incredible. It's fresh, layered, subtle in places, driving beats and yet his attitude and voice come through.

I still waffle between Cuckoo and Trespassing as my favorite, NCOE is my least favorite, but growing on me fast (and I did like initially, but not looove).

I am going to remind myself out loud here what I've known all along: Adam is trying to make it big on the radio and to do so he has to make some consessions, like semi-over-produced almost auto-tuned quality songs that have a sound that fits in with other big (but more generic) stars. I was prepared to not love his new album because I didn't love FYE--until he went live!

I am actually loving the new songs while still knowing in the back of my mind he could have been even better without all the directions he is pulled into try to please the radio. But with all that, Adam still shines in these songs! And picture him singing in concert people--that is when he will truly make these songs fit him!!!
