I am a real hardcore crows fan and have to agree that the third album was below par. However, this will not disappoint! 708324@blogcritics.org Tue, 8 Apr 2008 10:28:14 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/091834.php#comment-705264 Pretty good band overall - never made a bad album - even the third was decent, although they hid Kid Games at the end. Hope this is a knockout album, tho' - we need more good rock albums in the world these days. 705264@blogcritics.org Wed, 26 Mar 2008 02:01:29 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/091834.php#comment-705204 The only album the band released that I thought was subpar was their third album. All others including the VH1 double live album were great. I look foward to hearing the new album. 705204@blogcritics.org Tue, 25 Mar 2008 18:53:16 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/091834.php#comment-704570 as a hard core Counting Crows fan, I understand the comments of "not so much" after their first 2 albums. But this album is special. They're back...and it's damn good! 704570@blogcritics.org Sat, 22 Mar 2008 14:21:08 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/091834.php#comment-704382 Believe me, I sure as hell hope I'm right, too! 704382@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:25:38 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/091834.php#comment-704354 I loved their first two albums, but have pretty much hated everything they put out since, other than a few individual songs. I hope you are right about this one. 704354@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:20:26 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/03/21/091834.php#comment-704337 Nice review. For my personally, this band has lost something in the last few years. Kinda seems like they rehash the same sound and themes every release, after Recovering at least. But now you've confused me :-) 704337@blogcritics.org Fri, 21 Mar 2008 11:01:52 EDT
