Title: Falling short of his amazing potential
Product review: Ryan Adams penned excellent tunes while he was with Wiskeytown. Since then he has written several excellent songs but the majority felt rushed and/or incomplete. Rather than spewing them out in rapid succession, which he certainly has a talent of doing, he should work a little longer on refining and completing his ideas. This album is just another example of his apparent listening to producers and star-struck fans who are encouraging him to produce quantity at the expense of quality. True, there are a few good tunes here but nothing to the level of work with Wiskeytown. If you are satisfied with initial impressions of ideas rather than complete expression, this may be for you. Myself, the overall sense is one of overall disappointment and letdown, again.
