Editorial Review:

Amazon.comHard Candy is, most certainly, just another Counting Crows album. But it's difficult to imagine that there's ever going to be too many. For a band that formed during the grunge-dominated early 1990s, Counting Crows did something remarkably brave--though they helped themselves to the same legacy of 1970s and '80s FM radio rock as the Seattle groups, they chose not to subvert it with any punk influences. Counting Crows were determined to play Steve Miller and Tom Petty and Bruce Hornsby at their own game, and Hard Candy is the fourth astonishing album that has resulted. Counting Crows have now settled into a template with which they clearly feel comfortable--simple but elaborately orchestrated songs, buffed and polished to a high sheen, which serve as a glittering backdrop to Adam Duritz's lyrics. These, now as ever, are chiefly concerned with excitingly unattainable women and the roads he travels to get to or away from them. He tantalizes, as he often does, with specific names and places, but is never so solipsistic that the songs are robbed of a universal appeal. --Andrew Mueller

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Those Frickin' Crows!
I thought I knew what music was, man. That's all I have to say. I thought I knew what music was.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Never Gets Old
When you're a parent, it's that rare and special CD that your kids can wear out *for* you. HARD CANDY is definitely a favorite of both my children. First, my now seven year old fell in love with BUTTERFLY IN REVERSE (as much as I loved it several years ago, even I'm sick of that one!) She would say, "I'm Mary Ann." Later she proclaimed that Adam Duritz was her best friend. Good girl.

All of that is to say that I have listened to this CD more times than probably many die hard Crows fans (of which I am definitely one!) and most of these tracks still never get old. Although AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER is a true Crows touchstone, for me this is the one that will always hold the most special place in my heart. I highly, highly recommend the CD as one to jump into the Crows experience with--and for older fans who might not have it, don't miss out. A MUST TO OWN!




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wonderful
It's not just that i'm a HUGE Counting crows fan. It's just that this album is like ok I'll be honest "AMAZING!!!!!!!!!" I like the way they put some feeling into "Black and Blue" and made a rocker version with Vannesa C. on "Big Yellow Taxi" and "Miami" boy is that amazing.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Still Good
For a CD I don't feel is Counting Crow's best effort, this is still a really good album and brings lots of listening enjoyment. Everyone had heard their cover of "Big Yellow Taxi" which is a very strong song, but not the best on the album. Even the debut single from this album, "American Girl" is only average for this disc. Great for any Counting Crows fan.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great album
Face it folks; if you don't like this music, you're nothing but a god-damned terrorist.
