- Very very good!
Let me start off by saying I am not a BIG Counting Crows fan. Don't get me wrong, I loved their debut album "August & Everything After", (a masterpiece) but everything since than has been a drop in notch. And without great songs and music, lead singer Adam Duritz's voice just gets boring album after album. But finally, with "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings", the band has hit a more unique hard rockin and bluesy style and better yet, the songs are VERY good. Not just lyrics which have always been profound and dark, but the music and the instrumentation is fantastic! Every song is catchy! Adam's voice is being put to VERY good use here, this is material aorthy of the artist and the band. The experimentation done on this album was a big winner! I know some people liked the album "Recovering the Satellites", which certaintly had some good songs, but for me the album was uneven. So I'll go out on a limb and say the new CD is the best releases since "August And Everything After". That's because every song is good, it's good all the way through. The style is catchy, after several listens, I still like the sound of it! I see it started off number three on the billboard charts, I hope that a lot of people will appreciate Counting Crows return to form. This album should be a comeback for the band!
Rating: - Counting songs
Counting Crows have become a band made more important in their silence. 6 years? Well, there have been several lives or best of's and such and this band has left a significant legacy made even more significant with this release. Hard Candy struck at no decibel I enjoyed until the songs got interpreted live. (Can we say wrong producer?) I think I took ten years to appreciate the beauty of August and Everything.
Regardless, Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings is a great album. (What's with them and REM suddenly finding how to use electric guitars in a rock song? CC does it better this time) Adam's lyrics have gone from Sophomore Syracuse University to Graduate Student Midwest and this is a good thing for the most part. He still tackles obvious things like um-let's see...Saturdays Nights are, like, loud you know and party like atmosphere-hard rock! and you know, Sunday, is like chill out time, you know? Ballad man... But you still have to love him, his angst is real it appears and nothing beats sincerity when the band is up to it.
And the band is up to it here. The rockers on the front end rock and the ballads are some of his strongest. Washington Square is just beautiful.
I think, while they've appropriately taken their time, Counting Crows, is one of our best bands. Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings show the band in a great light. A great place.
Rating: - Worth the wait
I approach every new Counting Crows CD with same apprehension, but that's the problem when your debut is as origional and creative as August and Everything After. I had to listen to it twice before I could really decide, but I really have say it is as good as everyone else has already said. I particularly like the second half of the CD, the Sunday Morning side if you will, especially tracks 7-14. They just really reminded me the somber, melancholy feel of Perfect Blue Buildings and the like. My favorite has to When I Dream of Michelangelo and far the criticism of repeated phrases, who cares. If you are already a fan, you will not be disappointed, for everyone else, I think its worth a listen.

- At least it's better than REM Accelerate
I got this in the mail with REM's Accelerate. That album is so bad that this one shines in comparison. But after three listenings, I find that I am skipping over several parts. Vocals are very poor to good in some parts. The music ranges from fair to very good.

- Adam is back
It's nice to see and hear Adam and his band back in the swing of things again. I am appreciating the album more now that I have heard it through a few times. As usual, Adam has written lyrics which are melodic, thought provoking and emotional all at the same time . It's also nice to hear the band playing with more elelctric guitar laden riffs the likes of which have not been heard since "Recovering the Satellites". I am looking forward to listening to this CD many more times and hopefully will get a chance to see the band live later in the year.
