Just thought they should have a thread.....

the new album's had a huge impact on me this past week and is the very definition of 'a grower'.....



So much beauty, a huge step up from the (personally) somewhat dissappointing Hard Candy.....

    I know what you mean it has been worth waiting 6 years for, there are no fillers on it, i find something new i like about each song every time i hear the album. Can't wait until they play Hyde park in the summer to hear it live

    No longer overwhelmed it seems so simple now.

    bump. I think ima buy this album tomorrow too. I was disappointed by the last album, but before that, they were one of my favorite bands by far. how does this one compare to the first 3?

    i love the counting crows, but i hate how it seems like they are always on a co-headlining tour instead of just their own. i refuse to go to a maroon 5 show. i want to see CC live so badly but i will not sit through an artist i have no interest in, and PAY that artist, just so i can see them.

    in response to MLC2006, for me personally i think this album is a lot better than this desert life. i'm not sure if it's as good as august... and nothing will ever be another recovering the satellites, so i don't know. i need to listen to the new one a lot more, i've only had the chance to listen about twice. it's definitely worth picking up though.

    never seen them live, but I have the double live album they put out and I"ve seen some videos on youtube. they seem to put on a very good show imo. what didn't you like about them? I thought the 9 minute version of 'round here' with 'have you seen me lately' tagged on the end was greatness.

    I think the reason for the co=headlining tours is that there just is not mass appeal for them like there was during the first 2 albums. so maybe they think they can sell more tickets with a coheadliner. though I agree with you. they've done co-headlining tours with Wallflowers and Matchbox 20, and I think that's a joke to try to put either one of those bands on the same level as CC.

    the new album is definitely a grower.

    but i liked hard candy a lot, too.

    they're one of my favorite bands, and yet i still haven't seen them live... always wanted to. live at heineken music hall is a great album. but there's just no way in hell i'm going to a maroon 5 concert. lame. :mad:

    The two times I've seen them, they put on great shows. Unfortunately, I've heard their show history is all over the board. Some great, some terrible. I think it depends on Adam's (aka the Tortured Artist) mood :p.

    I'm loving the new album. It's no 'August and Everything After', but what is?

    The problem with seeing them live is that you need to catch them on a day where Adam isn't in a stoned\drunk\zombie state. Anyone remember the David Letterman appearance during the infamous Madonna episode? What an awful performance what was.

    Anyways ... if you catch them on a good day, they really do put on a great show. Unfortunately, they don't publicize which shows will be the good ones ;)
