Details: Product Description The 2008 sophomore album from the UK based group features the single "Get Over It." a masterclass in dynamic, exhilarating Pop music, keyboardist Fyfe Dangerfield yields to the other members who all shine on these eleven songs, adding a distinct edge to their Mercury-nominated sound. It's harder, fatter and more disciplined than their critically acclaimed debut LP but equally ambitious, sounding like nothing else. Amazon.ca Bryan Adams really likes to write about love. Falling in love, falling out of love, looking for love in all the wrong places, you name it, he's tackled the subject in song. Without question, it is a formula that works in his favor; by the time Adams released 11 -- his 11th studio disc -- he had sold 65 million records worldwide. The Canadian-born UK resident consistently writes melodies that appeal to a massive fan base. So it is with the songs on 11…there is no jarring change in style or sound, just straight-ahead rock 'n roll, albeit slightly mellower than his earlier works. The disc opens up with “Tonight We Have The Stars”, a top-down, speedometer-up, road-trip rocker which then leads into the CD's first single, “I Thought I'd Seen Everything”, a predictable, upbeat track with a sing-along chorus. “We Found What We Were Looking For” kicks off with a U2-esque guitar riff – appropriate for a song whose title mimics Bono and company's massive hit “I Still Haven't Found I'm Looking For” -- but the track is wrought rock in true Adams style. Additionally, there are a pair of songs whose titles might at first glance appear to be cover tunes, however “Mysterious Ways” is not the U2 number, but instead a slow, bluesy original, and while “Walk On By” is the same name as a '60s Dionne Warwick hit, it is an original track that ends the disc, one which emulates the style and sound of “I'm Ready” -- a previous Adams hit -- with its acoustic minimalism and passionate emotion. --Denise Sheppard
