Synopsis

Amazon.com
Twenty-two-year-old wunderkind Adam Richman produced, engineered, mixed, and played every instrument on the accomplished Patience and Science. Naturally, the young musician wrote and performed all the songs, as well (although he often tours with backing band the Girls). Originally released in 2004, his second album, after an acoustic debut, was re-released the following year. Since that time, Richman has relocated from suburban Allentown, PA to New York City, with a lot of touring along the way. His basic recipe calls for a large serving of power-pop mixed with a dash of punk rock. Richman claims a number of artists as influences, but the ones he resembles most include Elvis Costello, Matthew Sweet, and Green Day. The results, particularly on "What Can Make You Mine?" and "The Loneliness Song," are catchy, radio-ready, and as he so accurately puts it, "shiny." Patience and Science is a promising introduction to a precocious talent. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Definitely worth the wait!

"I've been waiting months for this CD to be released, and let me tell you, it was worth the wait! I discovered Adam on www.myspace.com a few month ago and loved the songs he had posted. Adam Richman's "Patience & Science" falls into the power pop/punk genre except there's a lot more to it than that. The songs are well written, every song on the record could be heard on the radio, the hooks are amazing, and the production is great. When I read that Adam produced and mixed the record himself I was amazed that a 22 year-old could produce a major label sounding release!



So, do youself a favor and buy this record!"

"every song on this album is catchy but more importantly - the tracks flow so naturally into one another that the entire album will have played and i am left wanting more! elements of rock, pop, quick-tempo & slow songs are all included - each connected with the thread of candid lyrics & contagious hooks. adam richman initially won me over with Mary-Anne & Baby, I've Changed .. but now I LOVE LOVE LOVE what can make you mine .. those are just my highlights.. a great album indeed - AR is HOT"
Pun... i mean power pop's not dead.

"it seems like a lot of people are calling adam richman a punk because of his hair. well whatever, this isn't very punk to my ears. instead what you get is a great power pop record on par with the later output of punk pioneers like husker du and the replacements. and isn't it great when the punks slow down and write some great songs? they all have an edge to them, so i guess that's pretty punk. LOL. oh well, this guy rocks and he has a great voice to carry out those lyrics he's wearing on his sleeve. i hope "maryanne" gets on the radio, it's such a good summer shout-along and who doesn't want one of those for trips to the beach?!"
