-
His most ambitious collection of songs to date.
-
The electric mood of Adams' sophomore disc definitely reflects his good fortunes and knack for solid songcraft.
-
Adams continues to grow as a songwriter.
-
A curious time warp of a recording: loud, soft, tender, mean, thoughtful, reckless.
-
Gold sprawls but it rarely meanders, all the while signaling Adams' rite of passage from alt.country bad boy to Left Coast post-folkie.
-
It is when Adams veers from the hook-orientated path that the record suffers.
-
The stylistic mix is dizzying, from Dylanesque odes to Motown soul, but more than that, Adams's influences are so prominent that you often feel like you're listening to other people.
