Well, the whole reason Ryan made the album Rock N Roll was because the executives pressured him to. He wanted to leap right into Love Is Hell, but the studio said it was too sad and depressing, and that he should make something more upbeat. Naturally, Ryan threw together this awesome compilation of songs, many inspired by some of his favourite artists, threw the title of "rock n roll" onto the album as a slap in the face to the studio, saying 'ok, look, i've made rock n' roll, it's still awesome, and now can i please release what i want to release?"
i think the song rock n roll is the one piece of himself on the album, i agree with davidecoyote. very nicely done, short and sweet.
