Counting Crows Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings

This is a very good album from the Counting Crows. My favorite track is "Cowboys". This song rocks. I love the electric guitar playing on this track. "1492" is a song about living life on the edge. I don't get the significance of the title, but I like the sound of this track very much. It has a great beat. "You Can't Count On Me" is the lead single. I like the honesty in Adam's voice on this track. This song is about being honest about a person's faults. "When I Dream Of Michaelangelo" is a very pretty song. "Los Angeles" is a commentary song about living in the big city. "Insiginificant" is an excellent song. Adam's voice is so expressive. This is a song about how anybody can feel small. "Washington Square" is a song about the emotional process of moving. I like the harmonica and piano playing on this track. I really enjoyed listening to this disc.

From the Artist
"Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is the story of what happens when all the bright lights start to burn instead of glitter and you become more of a part of the shadow they cast behind you than the person you are in front. Produced in two parts by Gil Norton & Brian Deck, it's about a flood of sin and liquor and dissolution and insanity and it's about trying to rebuild the life you wrecked in the wake of that flood. It's about the way it feels. It's about me.

It's a Counting Crows album. We're back. We were only ever as far gone as you can go."

- Adam Duritz, Counting Crows

The record is the Crows' first studio album in almost 5 years, since the release of Hard Candy in 2002.

Counting Crows return with new album

Counting Crows are back with their first studio album in over five years entitled 'Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings’ which will be released through Geffen Records on March 24th.

'Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings’ will be the Counting Crows fifth studio album and comes almost 14 years after 'Mr Jones’ became a surprise hit helping the band gain mass fame as well as selling seven million copies of their debut album 'August and Everything After’ which went on to become the fastest selling album since Nirvana’s 'Nevermind’.

The album is split into two distinct themes with the first encompassing the 'Saturday Nights’ part, presenting a descent into the darkness, the losing of your sense of self through drink and medications. The second side to the album, 'Sunday Mornings’, is about the realisation of the next day, the hangover so to speak, it’s not so much redemption as understanding why Saturday Night happens and what next?

Counting Crows enlisted British producer and long time friend Gil Norton for the 'Saturday Nights’ part of the album who (apart from previously working on the band’s second album 'Recovering Satellites’) has also produced records for Pixies, Foo Fighters, Echo & The Bunnymen and Maximo Park. They then got Brian Deck (Modest Mouse and Iron & Wine) to produce the Sunday Mornings portion of the album in an attempt to emulate a modern version of some of the great folk based albums like Carole King’s 'Tapestry’ and Simon & Garfunkel’s 'Bridge Over Troubled Water’ which both had the feel of an unplugged album through innovative recording techniques.

The Counting Crows have always been more an album than a singles band and in the current byte-sized modern culture they feel it more important than ever not to cooperate with the quick fix, so enjoy 'Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings’ in its entirety – the way a great album should be.

The band have also just been announced as the headline act at Wireless on Sunday July 6th.
