Good enough, but nothing special...I was hoping for more "feeling" in the tracks. Still, all in all, not a bad listen.

a vibrant sonic wonderland that features strong songwriting and powerful energy from a band that has taken years to develop their magical formula on the stage. This one evokes vivid images of the multiple lives of Adam, and gang, while we as listeners are able to correlate the songs to our own lives. The music proves stimulating, motivating and ultimately cathartic in the sinuous creative struggle that this fantastic band has nearly perfected.
This work is substantial and fulfilling.

Disappointing return of Counting Crows -

Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings Review

You can say many things about Adam Duritz and his band Counting Crows, but one thing we can say for sure is that they never rush things and take their time in between studio albums. Indeed, this album is only the 4th studio album since the 1993 debut smash album "August and Everything After", and it's been 6 years since the previous album, the surprisingly strong "Hard Candy".
"Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings" (14 tracks; 60 min.) brings 2 mini-sets onto one album: the more forceful and urgent Saturday-themed tracks 1 through 6; and the more pensive and quiet Sunday-themed tracks 7 thought 14. I have several issues with this album: (i) there is no stand-out attention-grabbing song on here: where is the "Hanginaround" or "American Girls" of this album? I can't find one; (ii) several of the songs are overly wordy (see, for example, "Cowboys" and "Le Ballet d'Or"); (iii) the mellow second half of the album goes on way too long; cutting out a couple of songs would have improved the flow of the album greatly; and (iv) last but certainly not least, I am sick and tired hearing Duritz tells us how hard and difficult his life truly is (actually: still is, as he's been writing about this for the last 10 years now), give it a break already!
In all, I was quite disappointed with "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings", which is not nearly as strong as "Hard Candy" was. I saw Counting Crows again in concert last summer, and live they remain a very solid act. While they are coming back to this area later this summer, I doubt that I will go again, as I simply don't find most of the "Saturday/Sunday" songs all that compelling.

Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings Review

I'm a big Counting Crows fan and was really excited for this album to come out. I've been listening to it for weeks and I still don't enjoy most of the songs. Typically, on their other albums I like most of the songs the first or second time I hear it. Not the same with this album. Many of the lyrics are cheesy which ruins the songs and there isn't much quality like in "August and Everything After" and "Hard Candy" Very disappointed! The song I really like is Track 8: On Almost Any Sunday Morning. Track 3 and 5 are okay, but the rest sucks.
