Review

Blender (Magazine) (p.78) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "It's dark and combustible....The disc's SUNDAY MORNINGS half...is more acoustic, quieter, reflective."

Title Note

Counting Crows: David Immergluck (vocals, guitar, guitars, pedal steel guitar, dobro, tres, mandola, mandolin, bass guitar); David Bryson (vocals, guitar, guitars, banjo, mandola, mandolin, toy piano); Dan Vickrey (vocals, guitar, guitars, banjo); Charles Gillingham (vocals, harmonica, piano, toy piano, Fender Rhodes piano, harmonium, chamber organ, Hammond b-3 organ, chamberlin, Mellotron, vibraphone, glockenspiel); Millard Powers (vocals, upright bass, bass guitar); Jim Bogios (vocals, drums, maracas, tambourine, sleigh bell); Adam Duritz (vocals).

More than five years after 2002's HARD CANDY, Counting Crows finally returned with a full-length studio follow-up, SATURDAY NIGHTS & SUNDAY MORNINGS. Divided into a rocked-out first half (SATURDAY NIGHTS) and a mellow second part (SUNDAY MORNINGS), the album also features different producers for each section, with frontman Adam Duritz and company wisely selecting Gil Norton (who helmed RECOVERING THE SATELLITES) for the former tunes and Brian Deck (renowned for his work with Iron & Wine and Modest Mouse) for the latter songs.

Often recalling SATELLITES with its tightly wound intensity, the SATURDAY side of the record is embodied by "Cowboys," which features the ever-passionate Duritz at his most urgent, backed by the band's searing triple-guitar attack and driving rhythms. On the other end of the sonic spectrum is "On a Tuesday in Amsterdam Long Ago," a spare, piano-led number that casts Duritz's perpetual sense of yearning into a subdued moment of nostalgic melancholy. While the album's explicitly dual nature may not result in a dynamic mix, it makes for two impressively sustained moods that can easily be broken by hitting "shuffle."

Editorial Reviews

TOWER.COM REVIEW

Counting Crows - Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings

The Counting Crows don’t seem like they were quite sure what to do with this release so they solved the query by doing it all. Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings explores bouts of rage riffing guitar work as well as balladic interludes all the while entertaining Adam Duritz’s wailing lyrics. As per usual his brand of pop-grim vocals provides a ying for the yang in cases like “You Can’t Count on Me” where the instrumental effort may just be too happy.

We can’t say that the ensemble has ventured into unchartered territory because they just haven’t. Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is a perfect reflection of their run till now possibly with a few crunchier riffs that we wouldn’t have found adjacent “Mr. Jones” or “Colorblind”.

The album is ultimately classic Counting Crows whether you choose to hear it or not. However as I mentioned the guitar does perk up more than we’ve heard from the group in the past and Duritz manages to push his troubled voice to the limit giving us his brand of raspy lyrical turmoil.

The Counting Crows come out fighting on this one and duke it out using inspiration that may or may not only be available, Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings.

Favorite Songs - “You Can’t Count on Me”, “When I Dream of Michelangelo.”

5 out of 5 stars great album, March 17, 2008
By stamar
Well I have to first say Im a huge fan. I love the album. I think as opposed to being old and soft like you might expect its a touch closer to rock. Los Angeles sounds like the rolling stones, intentionally I think. I rank it their third best in retrospect.

4 out of 5 stars 4/4, February 8, 2008
By Crow Magnum
Solid album that can allow you to get your fill both on Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings, there is something for everyone. Of course in true Counting Crows fashion, they keep it electric and jumpin throughout.
