I have listened to this thing probably 15 times and it has yet to truly grab me the way all of their previous cd's have. Too bad. There are some good songs here. My favorites being 1492, Insignificant, Hanging Tree, and Le Ballet D'Or. The rest are simply filler for me and not worth additional plays. The powerful lyrics and the memorable melodies are just not there this time around. I have tix to the live show and will certainly be there. They are still a great live band but my hopes is they get back in the studio soon and really kick some butt. Rating: - Poor, Poor AdamCounting Crows latest is a great sounding cd, definitely some of their best work. The subject matter deals with the conflict that plagues Adam Duritz in his soul from giving into the temptations of fame. The cd probably deserves 4 stars or more but like Bono once wrote: "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet a thief. They kill their inspiration and sing about the grief." Poor Adam can't get no relief. For the last 15 years he's had countless beautiful women throw themselves at him. He's indulged in everything and now he is empty inside; at least he can write eloquently about it all. Personally I can't relate to this and can't see myself listening to Adam's angst too often. But maybe you're different ... Read More Rating: - Counting Crows LatestI suppose Counting Crows fans will enjoy their latest work, but I found it a little too "jammy." Rating:  - classic counting crowsClassic use of the band and counting crows sound. Not quite as many hits as they have on each of their cds, none the less if your a true fan you'll appreciate most of it. Rating:  - ExcellentThis is a great album, it has almost all the good elements that have made the Counting Crows the most amazing rock 'n roll band in all time. I've really missed the deep Matt Malley's bass guitar. But, you can't have it all, right? |
Nick Bradbury just had a tumor removed from his head. Glad to hear he's doing well:
The fact that I'm able to type this blog entry less than a week after the operation has me hopeful that recovery will be quicker than I was led to believe, but it will still be a few weeks before I'm able to really tackle any serious work.
