Badman
½
For more than 20 years, Bryan Adams has been crafting the most friendly arena anthems around, most of them love songs, all of them filled with booming drum fills, jangly guitar solos and slick production. No denying it, the guy has a way with a hook, and these 11 tracks are not unlike any of the other songs from the many releases in the Canadian rocker's hugely successful career.
If you like Adams' pop work, you'll like this hook-happy collection. If you don't, you won't. It's really that simple with Adams, who makes a very unusual stop at the Belly Up Tavern on Sunday at a sold-out solo show.
