"Ryan Adams actually released THREE albums in 2005, two with The Cardinals and one solo album. My favorite of the three is Cold Roses, a double-CD showing off Ryan and the band doing their best Gram Parsons impression, with some pneumonia-era whiskeytown and faint hints of CSNY thrown in.

"I wasn't a big fan of "Trouble" when it came out, but I heard "Jolene" last week and was blown away..."Jolene" is a masterpiece, perfect arrangement, paints a vivid picture of addiction and lonliness, great vocals" Reply

"On Electr-O-Pura, Yo La Tengo produce what I consider their most consistent and cohesive album to date. Nowhere near as sprawling as their upcoming albums, Electr-O-Pura is a strong and focused alternative rock album unparalleled by many other bands. With highlights too numerous to list, I will i..."

"This is my fav. It has it all, love, pain, strife, anger, joy and hope. It's been a great pleasure to listen to Pete's best and rediscover this periodically throughout my adulthood" Reply

It can become trance inducing with the extended tracks. Then some parts get a bit too repetitive for too long. And it could have used mo..." [+] Reply

"I found the British version a this album a couple of days ago with one scratch on the cover does anyone know what it would be worth in the states" Reply
"Not sure why so much hate for this simply because it followed up one of the most loved albums of the past half-decade. For what it is, the album is solid and every song is an ear-worm." Reply

"The best voice of all time singing like never, Claus Ogerman´s delicate and inspired arrangements and a first line Tom Jobim and American Standards repertoire, all in a sofisticated Bossa Nova style. Everything here is perfect." Reply

"Wonder if I look like a tourist… I don’t envy their roadies. They must break a shitload of strings. They must have like a gazillion acoustic guitars locked & loaded on the racks in order to make a concert work. Because they don’t so much play their instruments as attack them. Fiercely! This is fo..." [+] Reply
