I haven't listened to Bryan Adams Self-Titled debut in years.
The album as a whole is serviceable. The songs are okay, not
great. Other than the lead track Hidin' From Love, the rest of
the album, although good, it's not something I would be
clamoring to listen to again anytime soon. Had I picked up this
album back when it came out, just listening to it, I would never
have guessed that he would turn out to be a huge star a few
short years later. I didn't get into Bryan until Cuts Like A
Knife came out. It was only years later did I myself decide to
go back and pick up his earlier stuff on CD. For the longest
time I thought that Knife was his debut. What did I know? I was
just a kid then. The monster hits were still a few years away.

Just like his debut album, You Want It, You Got It is a very
underwhelming disc of songs. Pretty much every songs is
indistinguishable from the next one. It's lacking anything close
to what we will eventually get from him. Here it's a handful of
decent songs, but very unmemorable. There are a couple of good
songs like Fits Ya Good and Last Chance. But other than these
two, the rest is just going through the motions almost. The only
thing of note here is that you can hear in most of the songs his
signature sound starting to emerge that will define his career
from here on out. Prime example of this is on the last track No
One Makes It Right.

Cuts Like A Knife is the album that I discovered Bryan Adams for
the first time, more specifically, the Title Track by way of the
video that was in heavy rotation on MTV. That voice, that guitar
solo, that.....Hot Babe in a bikini!! Yes, the video was pretty
damn cool, but the song is what hooked me and still does to this
day. The album as a whole is pretty good, but not perfect.
Bryan's definitive trademark sound is all over the album, but
there's really only a few songs that just nailed it for me and
are true hits. Knife, This Time and What's It Gonna Be still
deliver in a big way for me.
As for the rest of the album, the songs tend to fall into
radio-friendly "ballads" that were clearly aimed at reaching a
specific demographic. I think a long the lines of how Michael
Bolton crafted some of his albums of trying to lock down two
types of fans, but hoping that the ballads would get him over
into a larger fan base. When done right, the songs can be very
distinct sounding, when done wrong, they just blend one into the
other. Overall, Knife is a solid album, even if I don't listen
to it all that much anymore. Of all the ballads on this one,
Straight From The Heart is still pretty damn good.
