Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The Heat, Jesse Malin's second album, is the sound of a young artist determined to attach himself to the heritage of his influences; the New York-based singer-songwriter badly wants to cast himself as a successor to such self-consciously wracked troubadours as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Malin's one-time producer Ryan Adams and, especially, The Replacements' Paul Westerberg. While there's nothing on The Heat that quite places Malin among such exalted company, there are plenty of indications that he's getting there--and, as someone who wrote and recorded much of this album on the road, Malin should know that the journey is the important part.

Malin's music, while often elevated by spectacular choruses, such as that of "Indian Summer", is entirely orthodox--a slightly countrified rock filtered from Tom Petty via Counting Crows (Petty is also echoed in Malin's vocals). Malin's lyrics, however, are frequently intriguing: "Arrested" and "Silver Manhattan" are well-observed slices of Manhattan lowlife, and "Hotel Columbia" is an affectionate homage to London's premier rock & roll flophouse. This is a fine album from an artist approaching greatness with impressive momentum. --Andrew Mueller

5.0 out of 5 stars More rewarding than 'The Fine Art of Self Destruction'., 19 Sep 2004
Malin's first album was very good, but almost too easy to get into! This may seem a strange comment, but this album has more depth and requires more work. Songs like 'Mona Lisa', 'Scars of Love' and 'Hotel Columbia' are catchy numbers, which are easy to cling on to. After a few listens it become apparent just how good the album is as a whole. This is a fabulous album and songs like 'Block Island' and 'Basement Home' are very rewarding. If you like this album you've almost certainly listened to Ryan Adams and enjoyed his work and the similarities are endless. In my opinion both have great voices and Malin's voice is perfect for his excellently blended country-rock. Buy this album, Awesome!

5.0 out of 5 stars hot stuff, 4 Dec 2004
Jesse Malin's career got a shot in the arm two years ago when his debut CD was produced by alt-country wonder-kid Ryan Adams. That album, "The Fine Art of Self-Destruction" was a powerful slab of gritty urban rock stuffed with killer tunes and redolent with imagery. Producing the follow-up was never going to be easy, but wisely the former New York punk hasn't tinkered with the formula too much. Lyrically his scope is a little broader, addressing a range of political issues in songs like "New World Order" and "Silver Manhattan". Whatever his subject though, Malin's gift is in getting under the skin of his songs and personalizing them. Like that elder Statesman of rock, Bruce Springsteen, Malin has a novelist's eye for detail which brings his songs of loss and longing buzzing to life. There is humour too - "We never had a baby but she got more tattoos; and I got more material for the blues" he sings on "Swinging Man". The album swings from loud old fashioned rock 'n' roll through sweetly tuneful power-pop, to contemplative piano ballads. It's all played with class and conviction and sung in as authentic a dishevelled drawl as you're likely to hear. Whether you want to sing along, cry along or punch the air while you drive along "The Heat" has a song for you.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Second Album That May Have Surpassed the First (4.5 stars), 1 Aug 2004
By Juan Mobili (Valley Cottage, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is Jesse Malin's second solo album and, unlike common expectations of a decline after a highly reviewed first one ?I'm talking about the Rock press, not reviewers in this site? this is, to my taste, a more accomplished album than its predecessor.
Whereas "The Fine Art of Self-Destruction" was angry and raw ?as far as production values are concerned? this is more poignant in its message ?trading rage for outrage? and more polished, without ever deserving to be considered slick.

Defying my general bias for self-produced albums, "Heat" carries a more personal sound and showcases Malin's compositions more convincingly than his solo debut did, under the production of Ryan Adams. As astounding as Adams may be as a composer and performer ?and believe me, I'm awed by his talent? his capacity to produce is still limited. A common sin, when it comes to production chores, is to have the artist sound too much as his producer, and Adams could be accused of that.
In contrast with that, Malin knows his songs and, without indulging in overworked versions, he's made his songs sound more authentic and believable in this album. This is, possibly, the sound of post 9/11 urban Rock, the result of a certain loss of innocence without giving up its edge nor profound hope.
I agree with those people who cautioned us already that he's no Springsteen, yet Bruce comes to mind when listening to "The Heat," and he does because, Malin like "the Boss," does not pretend to be someone he's not nor short-changes you in the "heart department."
There are several great examples of this guy?s mature punk truths. Listen to ?Mona Lisa? or ?Silver Manhattan,? for instance, or the thoughtful ire of ?New World Order,? or quiet plead for the forgotten ones on "God's Lonely People.?
All in all, this is not yet a five-star outing, but more because he still has so much more to offers us than he due to any personal disappointments I may have with it.
Jesse Malin has touched me, and he's done it out of sheer sincerity, through his music and his words.
