Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings (Bonus Track Version) – Counting CrowsView More By Counting Crows Our ReviewAs 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 ReviewsTBTR: Track by Track Review of Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings (5 stars)This is it- The highly-anticipated new album from one of my favorite bands ever, Counting Crows. 1.) 1492 - Hard, angry, loud, and dark. It's probably one of the top 3 hardest-rocking CC songs. The lyrics are deep, but again very dark. The tune is intricate yet appropriate. Overall, it is a track that leaves you stunned and wowed. (5 stars) 2.) Hanging Tree - Upbeat, catchy and all-around great. It's got some light southern-rock sounds in They Couldn't Make a Bad Album If They Tried (5 stars) It's no secret that the first half of this album is supposed to be more rock oriented. Like most long-time Counting Crows fans I took to this news with optimism, wondering if these songs were going to be more along the lines of Angels of the Silences. The truth is 1492 and Hanging Tree are as hard as this album gets, and though they're edgey, their lyrics are everything that a Counting Crows song should be. This first part of this album is b Worth the Wait! (5 stars) After nearly 6 years since a new studio release, Counting Crows hits your ears with a sledgehammer and a tissue box. There are so many things to like about this record, but I personally enjoy the dark manner of Duritz's lyrics and the raucous instrumentation on the "Saturday Nights" half of the record (which more than makes up for the depravity of said instrumentation in much of "Sunday Mornings"). Counting Crows continue BiographyFormed: August, 1991 in San Francisco, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s With their angst-filled hybrid of Van Morrison, the Band, and R.E.M., Counting Crows became an overnight sensation in 1994. Only a year earlier, the band was a group of unknown musicians, filling in for the absent Van Morrison at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony; they were introduced by an enthusiastic Robbie Robertson. Early in 1993, the band recorded their debut album, August and Everything After, with T-Bone Burnett. Released the fall, it was a dark and somber record, driven by the morose...
