The Fine Art of Self Destruction

Amazon.com
Jesse Malin segued from a decade as frontman for NYC's D Generation, a band whose glam-metal pose was as ironic as it was misunderstood, to this reincarnation as shrewd, stripped-down Gotham singer-songwriter. Comparisons to Bruce Springsteen have already been floated, but Malin's sensibilities here are as subtly shaded and introspective as the Boss's are broad and declamatory. Midwifed by producer/ex-Whiskeytown frontman Ryan Adams, Malin's affection for the likes of Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Steve Earle is obvious, but filtered through a savory, pop-conscious mélange of musical textures that evoke everything from Motown to Tex-Mex. Malin's lyrical sense is no less evocative, with simple lines conjuring up worlds of possibilities. It's a debut whose heartfelt country-by-way-of-Delancey-Street songs may bolster notions that irony is indeed dead in the post-9/11 world, but also one whose honesty of voice and purpose ensures the wake will be brief. --Jerry McCulley

Product Description
The Fine Art of Self-Destruction features 12 original songs written and sung by Malin (ex-D Generation). Ryan Adams (Whiskeytown) contributes guitar and vocals on almost every track and Melissa Auf der Maur (Hole, Smashing Pumpkins) contributes background vocals. The album was released on October 22 in the UK where is has already garnered critical acclaim in Q (4 *'s), NME, Mojo and Uncut (album of the month for November), among others. The London Saturday Times said, "(Ryan) has turned producer on a spectacular debut by his New York friend and neighbor, Jesse Malin. Adams reckons that Malin is a 'genius'. Adam Duritz of Counting Crows says that this is the best album he has heard all year. Believe the hype. Malin writes vivid songs with killer tunes and sings them with scary conviction. There is simply nothing more than you could demand from a great rock record. Buy it. 5 out of 5 *'s."

Customer Reviews:

Solid debut..........2007-02-14

he sounds more like Westerberg or Springsteen these days, which is a far cry from the Cheap Trick/Ramones D-Generation days - but the solid songwriting is still present and accounted for...

- cRAIG

Come On People.... .......2006-09-05

The reviews here are more about Ryan Adams than Jesse Malin. If you hate Ryan Adams, go trash his CD's on Amazon. (Or did you already do that?) This CD is great. His voice is amazing in a lonesome, cry-over-spilled-beer sort of way. How can any of you flatliners not love Queen of the Underworld or Almost Grown??????

Decent Solo Effort.......2005-07-28

Malins solo effort definitly gets athumbs up, however hwat happend to Mr.Rocknroll?

If you like D-gen or Malin check out 17 Crash

nothing like D Generation .......2004-09-06

Excellent debut CD that was produced and mixed by Ryan Adams who also adds guitar, keyboards and background vocals. Sounds a lot like a young Neil Young and nothing like D Generation except maybe in attitude. The single, "Queen of the Underworld" is the strongest and most memorable song on the album. Melissa Auf der Maur also adds some background vocals.

ahhhhh.......2004-05-19

This record is as bad as anything Adams has ever done, so its fitting they work together. The talent and spirit of NYC is gone, so being held on a pedistale in NYC these days is by no means something to brag about. Stop milking your insignificant band that ended years ago.

Great album from Ryan Adams protegé.......2002-11-27

The former singer of D Genaration has traded his rock attitude for a acoustic guitar, and it wasn't a bad move. His first record, produced by friend Ryan Adams is just great. Starting the album with the lyrics "You say you want a revolution/ something you can touch" makes you stay with the stereo till the last tune. It's just powerful. It's a journey through lost love and self-pity. If you like the melancholia of Ryan Adams, Wilco or even David Gray this is the natural next step.

The bonus-track, rock version of "Brooklyn" is one of the best tracks on the album, I wouldn't have traded that for anything

Shining Star Ablaze.......2002-11-17

In a world where music has basically taken a harsh turn for the worst here comes Jesse Malin with a great cd. He is not only a fabulous singer he is a great songwriter. His songs touch your soul & caress your heart. "Queen of the Underworld" & "Riding the Subway" rock you & then there is "Xmas" that is just so beautifully done. His songs have so much feeling & truth to them. His voice is like cuddling with your favourite velvet blanket on a cold winter night. I definitely recommend this cd for anyone who enjoys listening to great music.

Product Description

Heavy, grungy slacker rock from this Christian duo, ex-members of Bride. Very noisy and simplistic, appealing possibly to fans of Bleach-era Nirvana or Local H.

Buy it!.......2002-12-21

This stunning record, with most of its tracks produced by Ryan Adams (old friend to Jesse Malin since the latterýs D-Generation days, is a must-buy!

When reviewing, its inevitable to compare the artist reviewed with others, and, well, I donýt like it, as it seldom gives an accurate enough description. Nevertheless it gives a hint so Iýd say that Jesse in many aspects sounds like a mix of the Wallflowers, Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown (and a little grain of Curt Cobain ý especially on track 2 and 7).

But make no mistake, Jesse isnýt copying. He manages to cut through the stereotypical countryrock singer/songwriter clutter that I (my personal opinion of course) think Jay Farrarýs solo ambitions sometimes are examples of. Although this isnýt a ground breaking and ultra innovative record, it is very straightforward, just like rock should be, and itýs good, verrry good.
