 It's really not good enough July 6, 2008
I have tried to like it, listened to it again and again but I'm sorry, it's just OK. Adam's voice sounds soulless like he is strolling through the songs and not feeling them and in the end the division of rock and country as oppose to a normal track listing just makes it boring. They're my favourite band in the world but seem to be running out of ideas. My wife is a massive fan and she fell asleep half way through!
 A great return - even if it takes a few plays May 12, 2008

Counting Crows are probably my favourite band and are, in my opinion, are also one of the most underrated bands on the planet so you can hardly expect this to be a balanced review. I would rate all of their albums as five star although I would need a couple more star to rate August and Everything After, so you can imagine my expectations of this return album after so long out of the studio.
Was I disappointed? Initially I was - to some extent. I thought the album was good but I wasn't blown away as I had hoped to be. Rather than writing a review on this basis I decided to persevere and see if the album grew on me and I'm glad to say that it did - big time! After a dozen or so plays I really think this rates a close second to `August' and has some really great songs on it. My particular favourites are Cowboys, Anyone But You and On a Tuesday in Amsterdam Long Ago all of which are the equal of anything the band has ever produced. As for the other 12 tracks - they're all almost as good.
So, if you love Counting Crows but haven't bought this yet - do! If you have bought it and have abandoned it after a couple of plays give it another try. It may be a slow burner but it's really worth the effort.
 Disappointed! May 6, 2008

First of all - I loved the last album "Hard Candy" so I guess I was expecting too much...but as one of the few last great American bands still playing was it really too much to hope for something better than we got??? The track "Hanging Tree" may just be the worst track I've ever heard by anyone. Ever. It's just soooooooooo bad............
Good- but not great May 5, 2008

After all the over-excited reviews here I was expecting something more than what I actually got. The album isn't bad but don't expect anything like their old stuff. Some of the tracks are ok.. but the rest seem like fillers to me..
 Not a patch on their old stuff May 2, 2008

I know you are going to buy this album because I suspect that most counting crows (CC) fans are fans they gathered from their first two albums (August and Everything After & Recovering the Satelites).
Therefore go ahead a buy the album and add it to your cc album collection. That is what I did. The fact this album is extremely poor and dissapointing will have nothing to do with your purchase. Your a fan, you will have to buy it.
If you are new to the CC then I suggest you buy any other album but this one.
It is awful. There are no decent tunes, no harmony, no rhythms and the lyrcis are dreadful. not what we expect from CC. This is like a poor tribute band trying to write their own songs. What happened to the often witty, frequently painful yet mesmerising lyrics from their early stuff. What happened to the emotional music that accompanied the lyrics, the great tunes, the gentle melodies? Where has it gone.
After 6 years this record is nothing but a huge dissappointment for true CC fans. Try harder next time please cos we want more good stuff. Not this.
As a true CC fan though, you are still going to buy the album though. Listen to it a few times, try to make your mind up about it, then shelve it/store it never to be listened to again.
