iTunes Review
As suggested by title of the Counting Crows’ first album in six years, Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings deals in celebration and contemplation. The album begins with the band driving hard; “1492” cruises like Pearl Jam. But by album’s end, singer Adam Duritz is nestled up alongside a piano wondering what it all means (“On A Tuesday Afternoon in Amsterdam Long Ago”) before pulling the band together for one final encore of classic rock togetherness (“Come Around”). The band’s louder moments are a tad brittle and Duritz’s plea for understanding his superstar life in “Los Angeles” a tad self-absorbed, but the band succeeds with the mid-tempo acoustic-based rock that brought them to national attention. “You Can’t Count On Me” has a sweet jangle and “On Almost Any Sunday Morning” perfectly replicates that “Sunday Morning Coming Down” that Kris Kristofferson once eloquently put into song. That’s where Counting Crows deliver on their promise as a no-nonsense band of the people.
Customer Reviews
6 years for this?
I bought this album with an expectation of coming away with at least a few songs which would impact me like the early stuff did. This may be a case of needing it to grow on me, but I don't think so. I want an Omaha and I'm not hearing it. Duritz' success has always been about walking that fine line between the melidoc hook without tipping to far into his penchance for the corny throwaway lyric. People will generally overlook nonsense like "If you wrap yourself in daffodils I will wrap myself in pain" if they get a decent melody and a nice little hook. This album has none of that balance and is instead a jumbled, misguided mess which isn't melodic enough to satisfy any of their former fan base, and isn't good enough to stand on its own or earn new fans. This band doesn't rock out well. They need to go back to the formula which made August and Everything After such a great record.
What a ride.
What a great album. It runs the whole gambit of emotions and tells a story from the start to the finish. It really pulls at your heart. What also makes this album great is that most of the singles have a way of becoming personal to the listener. The vocals are powerful and haunting and the instrumentals are solid and powerful. I just hope it isn't another 6 year wait for the next album.
The Counting Crows well has run dry
CC has done well by combining roots rock with melodic hooks and image-filled, insightful lyrics. Each album is a journey through Adam Duritz's mind, but that's fine, because he's a fascinating, creative person. And for the most part he has the ability to draw upon universal themes of love and loss that his audience can relate to. That's why the drop off on this disc in all areas is so shocking. Sorry Adam, but I can't relate to your struggles to make sense of your life by dating movie stars. And it's full of recycled pieces of other CC songs, both musically and lyrically. It's not to say the disc doesn't have it's moments (the tasty guitar in Los Angeles, the power of Cowboys). But overall it's a huge disappointment. I'd much rather listen to Recovering the Satellites or This Desert Life.
