"Ryan Adams actually released THREE albums in 2005, two with The Cardinals and one solo album.

"This album is a great collage of music in different languages mixed with audio bites from Latin American or Spanish radio. It all flows very well and the music and lyrics reflect the personality and ideas of Manu Chao, who besides having a rock-punk-ska musical background, also embraces Latin Ame..." [+] Reply
"A really underrated album. The entire thing from start to finish is just a masterpiece. Like originally the only album I had heard from him was Poses, then someone referred me to Want One and I had really no idea how talented this man really is." Reply

"I think I'm halfway in-between the earlier comments. While this album isn't an all-time favourite and some of the covers struggle, it's also not a poorly executed flop. Their covers of Renegades of Funk and How I Could Just Kill a Man aren't better than the originals, but take them in an entirely..." [+] Reply

"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
