    I've admired all of ryan's works for quite some time with the exception of some crap. I honestly thought with the opening track (29) their was light, which is what we needed but sadely realised were the rest of the tracks. (sorry man, can't fuck with it)

    The most self-indulgent of the three Adams released in 2005; it is redeemed by the standout track Carolina Rain which has gotten ample "endless repeat" play.

    It's the first time Adams has sounded completely worn out and spent, bereaved of either the craft or hucksterism at the core of his work.

    He continues to take chances and not all of them pay off.

    Taken all together, 29 is a staggering piece.
