    After Easy Tiger, I was worried what he was going to pop out next. I never got into Cardinology and after that, I knew it wouldn't be good. I wonder if this release was out of laziness. Only a couple songs on here worth listening to.

    Alas, it often sounds like hollow noise--but improves when he warms down. [May 2011, p.92]

    There is still plenty to cherish here, and no Ryan Adams devotee is going to feel disappointed. In reality, this is likely just another detour in the ever evolving and confusing career of Ryan Adams.

    While it's fun to hear some new (old) material from Ryan Adams and his fantastic band, The Cardinals, it's pretty easy to see why this stuff wasn't released and while the jury is still out on whether or not retirement was a good idea for Adams, III/IV does indicate that it was time for an extended vacation.
