{"product_id":"fine-art-of-self-destruction","title":"Fine Art of Self Destruction","description":"\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 2002, Jesse Malin's classic solo debut is reissued with a bonus disc of the entire album re-recorded and reimagined. \u003ci\u003eThe Fine Art of Self Destruction\u003c\/i\u003e is Jesse Malin's debut solo album. Released on December 24, 2002 in the UK and was produced by Ryan Adams. 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 melange 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2LP - To celebrate the album’s 20th Anniversary, \u003ci\u003eThe Fine Art of Self Destruction\u003c\/i\u003e is reissued and paired with a bonus disc of alternative versions, reimagined and re-recorded with Malin’s longtime band.
