Hit: 3 Stars
Ryan Adams has gone through so many musical diversions, if not transformations, since he left Whiskeytown and started his solo career with 2000's outstanding "Heartbreaker" album that it has made me wonder who the real Ryan Adams is. After years of drugs and alcohol abuse, Adams re-emerged last year (sobered up) with "Easy Tiger", which was billed to "Ryan Adams and the Cardinals", as is this album. The "Easy Tiger" album came after a dizzying 2005, in which Ryan released not one, not two, but three albums, of varying quality.
"Cardinology" (12 tracks; 40 min.) follows the pattern of "Easy Tiger", with a mix of Americana/alterna-country/rock songs. "Born Into a Light" starts off the album with a blast, and is one of the best tracks on here. "Magick" is one of the harder rock rocks. "Cobwebs" is a more romantic tune. Other highlights include "Natural Ghost", "Evergreen" and the closer "Stop". At 40 min., this album clips by in no time.
In all, this is a pleasant album, for sure, as was "Easy Tiger". But am I the only who thinks that, while pleasant, this album lacks, like "Easy Tiger", truly memorable songs? I have played this album numerous times in the last month or so, and yet, I couldn't hum a single song once I turned off the CD player. Compare that to, say, "Heartbreaker" and "Gold", which contained tons of memorable, even unforgettable tunes. So this may be the new, sober, in-a-band, settled Ryan Adams, but for my money I'd like to get the Ryan Adams back from the 2000-01 era.
