Hey all. I just wanted to see if we have any counting crow fans here and if anybody plans on picking up the new album tomorrow?

Funny, a Counting Crows song is playing on my iTunes right when I notice a Counting Crows thread! I like them a lot but I don't consider myself a big fan. I LOVE hearing their songs when they come up on shuffle in my iTunes but I get fed up pretty quickly if I listen to the whole album at once.

Yeh same here. I am not a huge fan of theirs but I do like to listen every once in awhile. I have heard a few songs off the new album and they are really good so I had to put it on my birthday list!!!

I agree, I can only listen to so much of them at one time. Although, I do get kinda nostalgic when I hear "Mr. Jones". Adam Duritz had a nice article in this months Rolling Stone.

Thanks for the info about the article. I will have to go check it out. Anyone remotely into Counting Crows should check out the album. It reminds me of their early stuff which I always felt was their best!

Ooooooooo... One of my favorite bands of all time!
Recovering the Satellites CD is probably my favorite. "Another Horsedreamer's Blues" may be my favorite song from CC... "Amy Hit the Atmosphere" and "Perfect Blue Buildings" are definitely close 2nds.

I got the counting crows new one a few months ago. I went into re-buy soup, i didnt know anything about the new blind melon cd cause i hadnt kept up since 95 but anyway... i have such a hard time not rambling and i write too much sorry.... anyway....i had gone to get soup and the new counting crows. i did and i had to put blind melon in first because i was so excited and had a hard time taking it out long enough to listen to anything else. i gave the new counting crows a listen but couldnt get all the way through it without putting blind melon in. anyway today i finally listened to it from beginning to end... a little bit of a sensory overload, but its like anything else that is good and interesting, you cant hear it all in one listen. I listened to it on the way to work all the way through and on the way home and it is great. I can see where the vocals might be kind of have to be an acquired taste for some but i really like his voice its unique and different....although theres been alot of sound a likes in the past few years. its got alot of emotion and musically it is really good you can tell the music is sincere. Their lyrics have always been good and these are too. It is a little more reminiscent of their old stuff. its a totally different thing from blind melon but it is definitely the same as in they are both groups of individuals who are true artists. im with you matt perfect blue buildings.....man its the kind of song that makes you want to ride around in the rain and just cry.....its great. This cd has a few songs like that. id definitely recommend it if your into them....but remember to give it a chance and let it sink in. sorry this is soo outdated, i just got too distracted by blind melon!!!
