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'.

 Excellent July 1, 2008
This is a great album, it has almost all the good elements that have made the Counting Crows the most amazing rock 'n roll band in all time. I've really missed the deep Matt Malley's bass guitar. But, you can't have it all, right?
What's your problem with Hard Candy, Brian? June 30, 2008
Hard Candy is an amazing album. Yes, it's commercial but the songs are memorable and well-crafted. This new one, on first listen, doesn't have as many songs that stand out like on Hard Candy. 1492 and Cowboys are my favorites so far. To each his own.
 Nope, no good June 21, 2008
Wanted to like it. I was a big fan back in the days but I find myself forwarding through most of it. Got tired of it very quickly. Other CC fans I know said the same. If you don't trust me remember this...there is always a reason when the price is quickly lowered.
Superb... June 19, 2008
My favorite band, the record is refreshing, daring, a splash of cool water. I didn't know what to expect, and now I can't complain. I recommend it for fans and non-fans alike
 If you liked This Desert Life. June 15, 2008

2.5 stars maybe a weak 3. I can first tell you that no matter what people reviews of this cd are you must hear it for yourself to either appreciate or burn it at the stake. I feel these songs are just "made up". I don't think any of them have any passion or feeling to them. In my opinion, August and everything after is still one of my favorite cds. Recovering the Satellites had to grow on me, but I could feel most of the music straight out of the gate. This Desert Life, was okay at best, some songs are okay. Hard Candy, in my opinion was close to their best album. I like the whole thing. This cd was bought on the fact that I am a Counting Crows follower, not so much a fan but I do like there music. I felt that this was a forced album, Adams crooning sounds better when he is mopy and depressed and "recovering" This cd is none of that. I havnt felt the cd hit me yet so I won't say it's a complete failure, but for someone so talented this gets a low grade. It took this long for what I feel is shallow music that just seems forced. Just so this helps I do listen to a wide range of artist from Sarah Mclachlan, Snow Patrol, Coldplay, Keane, Tool, Jimmy Eat World, Maroon 5, Avenge Sevenfold, Mudvayne, Seether, Marvin Gaye and Toad the wet Sproket. That may help with understanding where I am coming from.
