Side one of Bryan Adams' third album, 1983's Cuts Like a Knife, 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 backup singers, and the fantastic "Straight Through the Heart" is Adams' first of many great ballads. Adams would finally achieve chart-topping perfection on his next release, Reckless, but Cuts Like a Knife comes pretty close.
