MojoNo self-indulgence, no grandstanding, just excellent. [Mar 2004, p.100]
-
The Adams of ‘Love Is Hell’ has gone out to make an album that actually is classic rock ‘n’ roll rather than one that can simply impersonate it, and sound convincing. [Review applicable to both Part 1 and Part 2]
-
Love Is Hell gets where it intends to go, because instead of Rock N Roll's tossed-off muscle-flexing, Adams supplies actual songs. [Review applicable to both Part 1 and Part 2]
-
As a full-album, Love is Hell is a lovely, drug-induced contrast to the balls-out rockers on Rock n Roll, but Pt 2 is significantly weaker on its own.
-
Seven riveting explorations that don't sound like anything else in his songbook.
-
Although 'Love Is Hell' comes with the assumption that it's more honest than 'Rock'n'Roll', the influences here - albeit different - are just as distracting. [Review applicable to both Part 1 and Part 2]
-
The sad fact is, no marketing strategy, no matter how savvy, could conceal this collection's bathetic, overwrought travesties and gruesome failures.

TimSJan 24, 2004It's no Heartbreaker, but it's still better than most everything else that's out there. At least that's my opinion, dammit.
