Ryan Adams – Love Is Hell Pt. 2 is the second of the two EPs that were eventually combined into the full Love Is Hell album. It was released on 9 December 2003 by Lost Highway after the label initially rejected the album in its original form, considering it insufficiently commercial.

This EP has a more intimate, singer-songwriter feel than Love Is Hell Pt. 1. The influence of artists such as Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and The Smiths is especially apparent, yet Ryan Adams makes the material unmistakably his own. Critics praised the EP for its strong songwriting and emotional depth, with an overall Metacritic score of 78/100.
Standout tracks include:

• "My Blue Manhattan" – haunting and beautifully atmospheric.
• "Please Do Not Let Me Go" – one of Adams' most affecting ballads.
• "English Girls Approximately" – melodic and memorable.
• "Hotel Chelsea Nights" – a fittingly reflective closing track.

Among many fans, the two Love Is Hell EPs together are considered Ryan Adams' artistic peak, and some even prefer them to the later combined album because the original sequencing creates a distinct mood.
