Given the churning tides of fashion and fate, six years can often feel more like an eternity in pop music. Yet Counting Crows' first studio album since 2002 bristles with an urgent energy that makes their creative restlessness almost palpable. The Crows haven't so much reinvented their roots-conscious ethos here, as shrewdly divided it along the album title's thematic lines: "Saturday night is when you sin," explains singer Adam Durwitz "and Sunday is when you regret. Sinning is often done very loudly, angrily, bitterly, violently." Thus, the band indulges itself in a raucously loose-limbed opening half that freewheels from the snarling Gil Norton/Steve Lillywhite produced blast at betrayal "1492," through a Stones-y, left-handed country-rock ode to "Los Angeles," and the irony of "Sundays"' no less pop-savvy angst. That mood shifts dramatically with the opening acoustic guitar notes of the lovely "Washington Square," heralding a mood of reflective redemption that characterizes the album's closing chapter that showcases the band's potent folk sensibility via the earthy studio aura of Modest Mouse/Iron & Wine producer Brian Deck. If it's only half the long-rumored "unplugged" album so many Crows' fans have anticipated, Durwitz's ever soulful lyrical intrigues, the songs' far-ranging moods and adventurous sonic textures - which encompass the spare, haunting beauty of "Le Ballet d'Or," and even a little of Brian Wilson's harmonic glories on the close of "Anyone But You" - deliver so much more. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description
UK edition of the 2008 album from Adam Duritz and the boys features one bonus track: 'Baby I'm A Big Star Now'. This is, an album that embraces the menacing vibes of Saturday Night and the more contemplative moments of a Sunday morning. Saturday Nights, the album's angry, electric, dissolute opening salvo was produced by Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters), a longtime friend and associate of the band who previously produced their second album Recovering The Satellites. Sunday Mornings, the more acoustic and Folk-influenced side of the album was produced by Brian Deck whose past credits include Modest Mouse and Iron & Wine. Features the single 'You Can't Count On Me'.

 Did not instantly grab me, but... September 6, 2008
...upon subsequent listens I became a really big fan of this CD. The Crows can still put out the good soulful tunes. I'm anxious for the next.
what can I say? August 11, 2008
great album, great band
five years waiting
It is very intense, and is the new recovering the satellites , gil norton was the best choice
I am hoping that for the next T bone becomes the choice
And Brazil is waiting for the crows
This Album just gets better each time you listen to it. July 18, 2008
The first listening of this album didn't grab me like `August and Everything After`, But I found my self singing the lyrics all day, and more I listened, the more it hit me like a ton of bricks. The lyrics start coming through and tie together with songs from previous albums. Once I grasped the meaning I cranked up the volume and it ROCKED! They are all brilliantly written. My favorites at the moment are Cowboys, Insignificant, and Sundays. But like most Counting Crows songs, your favorite changes depending on the mood your in at the time. Awesome Job Guys! You never stop making me fall in love with you.
 A bit of a disappointment July 16, 2008

I am a huge fan of CC and have waited a long time for this new record. 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.
Poor, Poor Adam July 10, 2008

Counting 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 - If you are rich and/or famous, have lived a hollow, shallow life with no intention to change and are miserable - this may be your favorite cd ever! As for you Adam: since you are so miserable with what you are doing why don't you stop doing it? If you are unable to do this on your own you could always ask God for help.
