Given the churning tides of fashion and fate, six years can often feel more like an eternity in pop music. Yet Counting Crows' first studio album since 2002 bristles with an urgent energy that makes their creative restlessness almost palpable. The Crows haven't so much reinvented their roots-conscious ethos here, as shrewdly divided it along the album title's thematic lines: "Saturday night is when you sin," explains singer Adam Durwitz "and Sunday is when you regret. Sinning is often done very loudly, angrily, bitterly, violently." Thus, the band indulges itself in a raucously loose-limbed opening half that freewheels from the snarling Gil Norton/Steve Lillywhite produced blast at betrayal "1492," through a Stones-y, left-handed country-rock ode to "Los Angeles," and the irony of "Sundays"' no less pop-savvy angst. That mood shifts dramatically with the opening acoustic guitar notes of the lovely "Washington Square," heralding a mood of reflective redemption that characterizes the album's closing chapter that showcases the band's potent folk sensibility via the earthy studio aura of Modest Mouse/Iron & Wine producer Brian Deck. If it's only half the long-rumored "unplugged" album so many Crows' fans have anticipated, Durwitz's ever soulful lyrical intrigues, the songs' far-ranging moods and adventurous sonic textures - which encompass the spare, haunting beauty of "Le Ballet d'Or," and even a little of Brian Wilson's harmonic glories on the close of "Anyone But You" - deliver so much more. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description
UK edition of the 2008 album from Adam Duritz and the boys features one bonus track: 'Baby I'm A Big Star Now'. This is, an album that embraces the menacing vibes of Saturday Night and the more contemplative moments of a Sunday morning. Saturday Nights, the album's angry, electric, dissolute opening salvo was produced by Gil Norton (The Pixies, Foo Fighters), a longtime friend and associate of the band who previously produced their second album Recovering The Satellites. Sunday Mornings, the more acoustic and Folk-influenced side of the album was produced by Brian Deck whose past credits include Modest Mouse and Iron & Wine. Features the single 'You Can't Count On Me'.

I have every one of their CD's because I really like this group. However this CD didn't do anything for me.

I hate admitting this because I've been a Counting Crows fan since... well since "August...". But this CD is so bland I couldn't get into it at all.
I gave it chance after chance... listen after listen. None of the songs ever stuck in my head. I found the music to be old hat, but not in a classic, good way. And the lyrics were terribly weak. They've lost all feeling. One of the things that has always made CC a good band was that the lyrics were usually raw and filled with emotion. This CD sounds like they didn't put anything of themselves in it. Its almost as if they're just performing songs that other people wrote as parodies of counting crows songs.
This is the first Counting Crows Cd i took out of my rotation before I knew the order of songs by memory. It just hurt every time i tried to listen.
as they say... All good things...
 Did not instantly grab me, but... September 6, 2008
Dean Strouse (Chicago, Illinois)
...upon subsequent listens I became a really big fan of this CD. The Crows can still put out the good soulful tunes. I'm anxious for the next.
what can I say? August 11, 2008
Fernando P. A. Lima (Brazil)
great album, great band
five years waiting
It is very intense, and is the new recovering the satellites , gil norton was the best choice
I am hoping that for the next T bone becomes the choice
And Brazil is waiting for the crows
This Album just gets better each time you listen to it. July 18, 2008

The first listening of this album didn't grab me like `August and Everything After`, But I found my self singing the lyrics all day, and more I listened, the more it hit me like a ton of bricks. The lyrics start coming through and tie together with songs from previous albums. Once I grasped the meaning I cranked up the volume and it ROCKED! They are all brilliantly written. My favorites at the moment are Cowboys, Insignificant, and Sundays. But like most Counting Crows songs, your favorite changes depending on the mood your in at the time. Awesome Job Guys! You never stop making me fall in love with you.
