| Some Great Tracks |
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. |

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. |

| When did Ryan start channeling Neil Young? |
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.
