You hear so many of his musical influences. Does anyone else hear En Vogue-esque harmonies in Shady? Very "Free your mind" when he says "I ain't broken, but I need a fix." And Sam Sparrow is SEXAY on that track!! Oh I did! Hit me in the face like a trout in first snippet so I immediately jumped to next song. (Love FYM! - Just not crazy bout soundalikes personally). But remembering the unreliability of snippets, I checked out 2nd snip that doesn't start w that bit and felt much much more positive w song starting completely differently so that bit becomes part of diverse landscape. I'll need many listens to absorb before I can really appreciate Adam's lovely work but I will say that for me my fav songs SO FAR are the ones that don't remind me of someone else. (Also, I'm still not inclined to dis NCOE - esp since it's my single and I plan to support it like a beast!). |

Every time I listened to "Underneath", I couldn't help getting teary and choked up; it's the lyrics, it's his VOICE, it's everything that is total ADAM: raw, honest, and powerful!! I can't wait for this whole song, this whole album! So proud of him!!

I would also love to hear how Adam came to get Underneath. This is such a perfect song for him. I wonder who discovered it. Or did Tom Shapiro (think that's his name) suggest it for him? I don't know how it came all together. But I remember that Adam said that his favorite song on Kelly Clarkson's album was Honestly, and that was written by Tom Shapiro. Maybe Adam tapped him to write a song for him on this album. |

Yesterday, my snobby musician son had to admit that he liked Trespassing (I played a live version). Tonight my very knowledgeable husband said Broken English was the best track so far and liked it!!! I am two for two right now. Doesn't it feel GREAT? |

I finally catched you up here! It's 4:13 AM here now and have to go to sleep.  Too much too amazing songs all at once. (One new snippet a day would have been easier to melt.) Love Underneath and ... and... all of them... Now I wish I was a native English speaker to be sure to understand all the wonderful lyrics properly. A voice of an angel  |

OK, LISTEN UP ATOPPERS!!! SHADY HAS ALMOST THE SAME KIND OF BEAT AS STAYIN ALIVE BY THE BEE GEES. SO WHAT, YOU MIGHT ASK... WELL, MY FIRST-AID INSTRUCTOR SAID THAT WHEN SOMEONE HAS A HEART ATTACK AND YOU'RE DOING CPR, YOU SHOULD DO IT TO THE BEAT OF STAYIN ALIVE. SO... WHEN I'M AT A CONCERT AND I'M IN CARDIAC ARREST BECAUSE ADAM'S SINGING UNDERNEATH, REMEMBER TO USE SHADY WHEN YOU'RE GIVING ME CPR. BETTER YET... GET ADAM TO ACTUALLY SING SHADY WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO SAVE ME. BUT, IF YOU CAN'T SAVE ME, DON'T WORRY... I'LL HAVE DIED LISTENING TO MUSIC THAT'S BETTER THAN ANYTHING THEY HAVE IN HEAVEN. THAT IS ALL. don't worry, we'll carry you out with your own smiley!  |

Is there a download link for the combined snippets ? I don't think there's one for those yet but 4msrmyn posted these a few pages ago. |
