Album Review
After the indifference which met his first album, Bryan Adams reportedly considered naming this sophomore release "Bryan Adams Hasn't Heard of You Either," but thankfully, the soon-to-be mega-star settled for the less offensive "Cuts Like a Knife" instead. Side one (for those of you who still remember vinyl sides) of this album is simply perfect. "The Only One," "This Time," and the title track are mid-paced melodic rockers with drop-dead choruses and hooks; they set the mold for most of Adams' finest and biggest hits. Though it rocks a little harder, "Take Me Back" is just as radio-friendly thanks to its use of female back-up singers, and the fantastic "Straight Through The Heart" is Adams' first of many great ballads. Side two opens with a few misfires, but recovers soon enough thanks to the gutsy guitar of "Don'T Leave Me Lonely" and the rather saccharine (but still good) ballad "The Best Was Yet To Come." Adams would finally achieve chart-topping perfection on his next release "Reckless", but "Cuts Like a Knife" comes pretty close. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
