This is incredible news.

Well that was unexpected.

This is the first Ryan Adams project in a decade that I'm interested in.

I bet this is fun.

Easy Tiger and Follow the Lights are incredible. I guess that was 8 years haha.

Guys, I really like Ashes and Fire. I mean, it's far from his best, but it's a really solid alt country rock album.

And maybe the first Smiths-related project you've ever been interested in?

Adams' last two records have been excellent, KD.

And you can take that shit to the bank, KD. zeb has the best overall taste on this whole forum.

This could be interesting. I wish his strokes album leaked.

And I agree dct, Ashes and Fire is a really strong album.

But his latest isn't. Maybe 5-6 tracks at a stretch.

Ha -- maybe!

Not entirely, though -- it's not that I was never interested in checking out the Smiths, they just ended up not really being my bag.

Ryan Adams on the other hand -- I've always liked him pretty well, I just lost track of him.

Did you ever hear the Colin Meloy sings Morrissey ep? I LOVE that thing!

As attention whorish as this is it will be light years better than his last two half baked duds.

I have, dct, though not for a while. I've really just never enjoyed Morrissey's songs, or the overall Smiths aesthetic -- I know I'm probably oversimplifying the band in my mind but their total package just registers an overall impression that doesn't do it for me.

I love Meloy's Shirley Collins EP though, and think the Sam Cooke one is better than it should be. Haven't heard the Ray Davies one.

I wouldn't go that far. Top five, maybe top three on a good day.
