Summary: Some Great Tracks
Comment: This album has some great tracks--"Two," "Everybody Knows." and "Halloween Head" offer many different sounds of Adams in back-to-back-to-back songs. The rest of the album is so-so.
I still think Heartbreaker, Gold, and Cold Roses are the three best Adams albums.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Two Great Songs
Comment: Tracks Two and Three are amazing. The rest is just pretty good. I guess this is why people prefer itunes?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Can't stop listening to it
Comment: Love this album. I love Ryan Adams. The only song that disappointed me was "These Girls" which is a remake/redo of "Here there Mrs. Lovely" which i prefer(it's a few years old). The new lyrics just caught me off guard. Some gems on this album, much more commercial than say, rock-n-roll and even Heartbreaker, but a nice collection of music, reflecting Mr. Ryan Adams today.

Summary: When did Ryan start channeling Neil Young?
Comment: Perhaps I was a little too harsh when I gave Ryan Adams and the Cardinals' album Cold Roses a three-star rating. The problem I had with that album was that Ryan's voice sounded completely different on every track. And his vocals sound a bit different on Easy Tiger as well, but fortunately he keeps things consistent.
This is another one of those albums that features songs that are short and sweet, as most of them barely pass the three-minute mark. Still, there are highlights aplenty, like "The Sun Also Sets", "These Girls" and "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old". Breakup songs also impress, like "Two Hearts" and "Rip Off". "Tears of Gold" and "Two" are also pretty decent.
If it weren't for the questionable two-in-a-row of "Halloweenhead" and "Oh My God, Whatever, Etc", I could have given this album five stars. This also isn't as hard as previous efforts, so don't expect to find another "New York, New York" on here. But it should still be easy for listeners to capture this tiger.

Easy Tiger, Ryan Adams's ninth solo studio album, is a return to form in every way. He's already shown that he can bash out three albums in one year--not to mention the hilarious fake hip-hop records posted for free on his Web site--and that he can sound as much like the Grateful Dead as he wants to in his constant subsequent touring. Backed once again by the Cardinals, Adams synthesizes and refines his approach to smooth, gorgeous country-pop. "Tears of Gold" is one of the best songs he's written in ages, while "Two" is a slowly percolating, sweet little number that recalls Sean Hayes in its soulful folksiness (someone named Sheryl Crow accompanies Adams on vocals). One of the greatest treats of this languorous, twangy album is the subtle ways that genre gets played with. "I Taught Myself How to Grow Old" is the best Harvest outtake Neil Young never wrote, while the treated, synth-sounding guitar solo on the druggy, chooglin' "Halloweenhead" sounds like it comes straight out of Journey. And "The Sun Also Sets" sounds more than a little like Rufus Wainwright covering Fred McDowell's "Write Me a Few of Your Lines." It bursts with enough melodrama as to border on musical theater. But, as is clear on these songs of love and loss, Adams has always been at his best when giving into his most mellow, dramatic side. --Mike McGonigal Ryan Adams Photos More Ryan Adams
