    Ooh such a pedestrian sounding record form an artist who appears to be suffering from a crisis of musical confidence. This west coast soft rock comes flavoured with a definite Tom Petty -esque blandness. Why are critics calling this record some kind of return to form ? Ashes and Fire, his last album is far better. 'Feels Like Fire' is possibly the only track which would make it on any listOoh such a pedestrian sounding record form an artist who appears to be suffering from a crisis of musical confidence.

    It's built to be savoured, not rushed. [Sep 2014, p.94]

    Ryan Adams, is up there with his best work because while it doesn’t have a lot of sweat on it, it’s a record that feels clearly considered enough, and carefully produced to maximize Adams’s strengths.

    A dark and perilous experience, one just hopes there’s light at the end of Adams’ tunnel.
