The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
There was never really 'Ryan's work with the Cardinals' anyway. Kind of like a Billy Corgan and the Pumpkins thing, you know what I mean?
I'm not sure what you're saying here. Are you saying the band doesn't actually play on the records?
Anyway, none of Ryan Adams's stuff means all that much to me. I lost track of him after the 2005 trilogy and don't really revisit any of his records all that often. I like four or five songs on "Cold Roses" ("Magnolia Mountain" being one) but I think the notion that it's some kind of canonical record is completely cracked. At best, it's a solid career album from a highly prolific, largely derivative artist. Best album of the last 15 years? Nowhere near innovative enough for that.

That 'best album' call is total crazy talk.

Everything you ever touched is undisturbed and hangs out Like crime scene evidence undisturbed in dust I don't dare touch anything because it's evidence of us And it means everything Well sort of

An album doesn't have to reach a certain level of innovation to be the best amongst its set of peers in any period of time. Exile on Main Street, in my opinion, beats every record over 15 years on either side of its release. And it's in no way innovative.

The 'band' has had a lot of turnover through the years and plays exactly what the guy who writes every single song himself wants them to play. They do play on Ryan's album, though.

I'm rather impressed that we're two pages in and no one has ranked the albums yet.

I was right into this guy early to mid 2000's. I should really revisit, I've only had a cursory listen to those last couple of Cardinals albums.
1 - Heartbreaker 2 - Cold Roses 3 - Love Is Hell 4 - Gold 5 - Jacksonville City Nights 6 - 29 7 - Easy Tiger 8 - Ashes & Fire 9 - Demolition 10 - Rock N Roll 11 - III/IV 12 - Cardinology
